A Prospective Multicentre Study Evaluating the Outcomes of the Abdominal Wall Dehiscence Repair Using Posterior Component Separation With Transversus Abdominis Muscle Release Reinforced by a Retro-muscular Mesh - Filling a Step

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Abdominal Wall Defect

• Registration Number: NCT05278117
• Lead Sponsor: Zagazig University

Brief Summary

Purpose: This study determined the incidence of burst abdomen recurrent (BAR), incisional hernia(IH), and surgical site occurrence (SSO) following burst abdomen surgical treatment after abdominal midline incisions using a posterior component separation(CS) technique with transversus abdominis muscle release (TAR) reinforced by retro-muscular mesh technique.

Methods: Between June 2014 and April 2018, 202 patients with grade IA BA (Björck's first classification) were treated in a prospective multiple-center cohort study.
