Objective To summarize the therapeutic experiences of abdominal wall bulge repair with compound patch intraperitoneal placement.
Methods From October 2005 to October 2008, intraperitoneal onlay mesh with compound patch applied in 7 patients with abdominal wall bulge, whose clinical data were analyzed retrospectively.
Results All the procedures were performed successfully, including 5 open operation and 2 laparoscopic repair. The mean operation time was 85 min (ranged 68 to 130 min). After operation, 1 seroma formation and 1 hemorrhage in the thoracic cavity developed and were cured with the conservative therapy. Mean postoperative hospital stay was 9.5 d (ranged 8 to 16 d). There was no recurrence, infection, or prolonged pain during 1-4 years follow-up.
Conclusion Abdominal wall bulge is caused by the weakness of abdominal wall muscle, and the intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair with compound patch is an appropriate therapy.
