Wound matrix deposition over time. Fibronectin and type III collagen constitute the early matrix. Type I collagen accumulates later and corresponds to the increase in wound tensile strength. Nir Hus MD., PhD. Ryder Trauma Center Jackson Memorial Hospital

Lap Vs Open • 10 Randomized Control Studies with a total number of 880 patients with 1O ventral or incisional hernia. • Not including umbilical or parastomal hernia. • The recurrence rate was notdifferent between laparoscopic and open surgery (RR 1.22; 95% CI 0.62 to 2.38, but patients were followed up for less than twoyears in half of the trials. • Results on operative time were too heterogeneous. • The risk of intraoperative enterotomy was slightly higher in laparoscopic hernia repair (OR2.33; 95% CI 0.53 to 10.35), but this result stems from only 7 cases with bowel lesions (5 vs. 2). • The most clear and consistent result was that laparoscopic surgery reduced the risk of wound infection (RR = 0.26; 95% CI 0.15 to 0.46). • Laparoscopic surgery shortened hospital stay significantly in 6 out of 9 trials. • Laparoscopic repair apparently led to much higher in-hospital costs. Nir Hus MD., PhD. Ryder Trauma Center Jackson Memorial Hospital
Lap Vs Open • Studies were included irrespective of type of mesh • Positioning of mesh, i.e., onlay, sublay, etc. • The method of mesh fixation (suture, tacks, both, etc.) Nir Hus MD., PhD. Ryder Trauma Center Jackson Memorial Hospital
Lap Vs Open • Hernia recurrence was selected as the primary outcome measure • Longest f/u was 3 years. Nir Hus MD., PhD. Ryder Trauma Center Jackson Memorial Hospital
Lap Vs Open • Included only hernias with a diameter of >3 cm, • Some trials did not include large hernias >15 cm diameter. Nir Hus MD., PhD. Ryder Trauma Center Jackson Memorial Hospital

Nir Hus MD., PhD. Ryder Trauma Center Jackson Memorial Hospital
Laparoscopy • The laparoscopic techniques were performed through 3 or 4 trocars. • All studies implanted non-resorbable meshes. >3cm overlap • Mesh fixation was done by suture fixation alone (Navarra 2007), • Tacks alone (Misra 2006; Olmi 2007), • Or a combination of sutures and tacks (Barbaros 2006; Itani 2010; • Moreno-Egea 2002; Pring 2008). • Some trials used more than one mesh fixation technique (Asencio 2009; Carbajo 1999). Nir Hus MD., PhD. Ryder Trauma Center Jackson Memorial Hospital
Open • Open surgery included sublay (i.e. retromuscular) mesh implantation in most trials (Carbajo 1999; Misra 2006; Moreno-Egea 2002;Navarra 2007;Olmi 2007). • Olmi 2007, onlay mesh repair had to be performed in a few cases because of difficult dissection of the abdominal planes. • Asencio2009, allowed the operating team to select between sublay and onlay technique. • ~2/3 of patients received onlay repair. • Only in two trials onlay mesh repair was the method of choice (Barbaros 2006; Itani 2010). • Pring2008, used the intraperitonealonlay mesh (IPOM) technique . Nir Hus MD., PhD. Ryder Trauma Center Jackson Memorial Hospital
Open • Conversions from laparoscopic to open surgery were not described in most of the trials (Barbaros 2006; Carbajo 1999; Misra 2006; Moreno-Egea 2002; Navarra 2007; Olmi 2007; Pring 2008). • In 3 trials, some patients from the laparoscopic group had to be converted (Asencio 2009; Buunen 2010; Itani 2010), but the converted cases were analyzed according to intention-to-treat (ITT) in all 3 trials. Nir Hus MD., PhD. Ryder Trauma Center Jackson Memorial Hospital
Lap Vs Open • Duration of follow-up was 2 years or longer in 5 trials (Carbajo 1999; Itani 2010; Olmi 2007; Moreno-Egea 2002; Pring 2008). • In 4 trials, follow-up lasted between 1 and 2 years (Asencio 2009; Barbaros 2006; Misra 2006). • In the 2 remaining trials, length of follow-up was less than 1 year (Navarra 2007) • F/U not reported (Buunen 2010). Nir Hus MD., PhD. Ryder Trauma Center Jackson Memorial Hospital
Lap Vs Open • Costs were reported in two studies ( Misra 2006;Olmi 2007). Nir Hus MD., PhD. Ryder Trauma Center Jackson Memorial Hospital
Lap Vs Open • Not a single trial applied any form of blinding. • In two trials the analyses were clearly not according to the intention-to-treat principle. Nir Hus MD., PhD. Ryder Trauma Center Jackson Memorial Hospital
Lap Vs Open • Barbaros 2006, excluded cases with major complications from the analysis of hospital stay. • Can lead to overoptimistic results! Nir Hus MD., PhD. Ryder Trauma Center Jackson Memorial Hospital
