The treatment of
incisional hernias, especially those that are multiple or recurring, has always represented important challenges for surgeons. An
incisional hernia is a mechanical damage of the abdominal wall that can result in respiratory problems and alterations of splanchnic circulation, especially when in large size
hernias. The increasing availability of
prostheses with greater resistance Romato
infections and tension, lightness, biocompatibility, and reduced visceral adhesions has improved outcomes and minimized relapses. It is still important, however, to carefully choose the type of
prosthesis and surgical technique, whether laparotomic or laparoscopic, correlated to the positioning site of the
prosthesis. In this observational study we report the results and outcomes of 50 patients surgically treated for
incisional hernia in our hospital. The surgical technique used to repair the
hernias was laparoscopic with the use of the Ventralight Echo PS. This
prosthesis is equipped with a comfortable and innovative pneumatic system that facilitates its positioning during surgery. In our experience, it has brought undeniable advantages for the treatment of
incisional hernias and for all patients with parietal defects who could benefit from laparoscopic treatment.
