ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors of recurrence of incisional hernia following incisional hernia tension-free repair. MethodsThe clinical data of 162 patients with incisional hernia underwent tension-free repair were retrospectively analyzed in this hospital from January 2005 to January 2011. The relationships of incisional hernia recur-rence to gender, age, body mass index, hernia size, abdominal wall defect site, preoperative chronic comorbidities, type of tension-free repair, operation time, and wound healing disorders were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis. ResultsOne hundred and sixty-two patients were followed up 7-70 months with mean 34.5 months. The rate of recur-rence following incisional hernia tension-free repair was 9.26% (15/162). The results of univariate analysis showed that recurrence following incisional hernia tension-free repair was associated with the age (P < 0.05), body mass index (P < 0.05), type of tension-free repair (P < 0.05), hernia size (P < 0.05), and wound healing disorders (P < 0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression revealed that the body mass index, type of tension-free repair, hernia size, and wound healing disorders were the independent risk factors associated with recurrence following incisional hernia tension-free repair. Fifteen recurrent patients were reperformed successfully. There was no recurrence following up with an average 23 months. ConclusionsIt is necessary to become familiar with the risk factors for recurrence of incisional hernia in order to eliminate or decrease their effects on the positive outcome of incisional herniorrhaphy. The patients with fat, hernia ring bigger, incorrect opera-tion or wound healing disorders might be easy to relapse. Surgical approach should be individualized for recurrence.
Objective Mesh infection may occur after incisional hernia repair using prosthetic mesh. Preparation of antibiotics-bonded meshes to prevent infection is one of the solutions. To evaluate the anti-infection effect of polypropylene mesh bonded norvancomycin slow-release microsphere by preparing the rat model of incisional hernia repair contaminatedwith Staphylococcus aureus. Methods The norvancomycin slow-release microspheres were prepared by emulsion and solvent evaporation method and they were bonded to polypropylene mesh (50 mg/mesh). The appearance of the microspheres was observed using scanning electronic microscope (SEM). The content of norvancomycin in microspheres and the release rate of the norvancomycin in norvancomycin-bonded polypropylene mesh were detected using high performance l iquid chromatography method. The rat models of incisional hernia were developed in 40 healthy Sprague Dawley rats, aged 10-11 weeks and weighing 200-250 g. The rats were divided randomly into the experimental group (norvancomycin-bonded polypropylene mesh repair, n=20) and the control group (polypropylene mesh repair, n=20). And then the mesh was contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus. The wound heal ing was observed after operation. At 3 weeks after operation, the mesh and the tissue around the mesh were harvested to perform histological observation and to classify the inflammatory reaction degree. Results The norvancomycin microsphere had integrated appearance and smooth surface with uniform particle diameter, 64% of particlediameter at 60 to 100 μm, and the loading-capacity of norvancomycin was 19.79%. The norvancomycin-bonded polypropylene patch had well-distributed surface and the loading-capacity of norvancomycin was (7.90 ± 0.85) mg/cm2. The release time of norvancomycin in vitro could last above 28 days and the accumulative release rate was 72.6%. The rats of 2 groups all survived to experiment completion. Wound infection occurred in 2 rats of the experimental group (10%) and 20 rats of the control group (100%), showing significant difference (χ2=32.727 3, P=0.000 0). The inflammatory reaction in experimental group was not obvious, grade I in 16 rats and grade II in 4 rats, and numerous inflammatory cell infiltration occurred in the control group, grade II in 3 rats and grade III in 17 rats, showing significant difference (Z=32.314, P=0.000). Conclusion The polypropylene mesh bonded norvancomycin slow-release microsphere has definite anti-infection effect in rat model of incisional hernia repair contaminated by Staphylococcus aureus.
The soft-tissue-cutaneous flap adjacent to the abdominal incisional hernia was ultilized to repair huge hernia in 6 cases with success. Patients were followed up for 2y7 years without recurrence. The operative planning, the technique and the matters needing attention were introduced in details. The soft tissues and skin adjacent to hernia used for repair was easy to obtain and a simple technique. The adoption of this operation in hospitals at the grassroots level was feasible.
目的 探讨腹腔镜术后Trocar部位疝的发生、分型和诊治方法。方法 1例77岁的女性患者，因“右附件囊性畸胎瘤”行腹腔镜右附件切除术，术后2 d出现右下腹Trocar部位疝并发肠梗阻，结合文献对其发生率、分型、发病因素、临床表现、诊治原则及预防进行分析。结果 手术证实部分小肠嵌顿于Trocar切口内，行小肠松解和切口缝合术，术后3 d痊愈出院。结论 Trocar部位疝并不少见，因素复杂，根据发生的时间和形态可将其分为早发型、迟发型和特殊型3型； 多需要手术治疗，缝合Trocar切口筋膜是有效的预防方法。
OBJECTIVE To repair the huge incisional hernia of abdominal wall, a new surgical method was introduced. METHODS Eight cases of huge ventral incisional hernia, developed in 3 months to 12 months after operation, were treated in this new method with the defects ranged from 8 cm x 4 cm to 12 cm x 6 cm. RESULTS They were followed up for 6 months to 18 months after operation. The clinical results showed that all of the 8 cases recovered satisfactorily without recurrence. CONCLUSION The new method was recommendable for its advantages of easier manipulation, shortened time, no tissue reaction and less tissue trauma from operation.

Objective To study the clinical effect of laparoscopic repair of abdominal incision hernia. Methods The clinical data of 41 abdominal incision hernia patients undergone laparoscopic repair were retrospectively analyzed. Results 〗The operation was successfully performed for 38 cases, and 3 cases were conversed to open. Operative time ranged from 78 to 186 minutes, with an average of 95 minutes. Pain was minor after operation. The first flatus and defecation ranged from 25 to 41 hours, with an average of 32 hours. Food intake started on day 2 after operation. The average length of hospitalization was 6 days (range 5-7 days). After a mean follow-up of 9 (6-16) months, no incision hernia occurred. Conclusion 〗Laparoscopic abdominal incision repair with composite patch is a safe and effective method, which is worthy of clinical application.
