Purpose: Abdominal incisional hernia is one of the most common complications after surgery. The preoperative evaluation of the area of abdominal wall defect and the hernia sac volume(HCV) is very important for the selection of patch size and incisional herniorrhaphy. Meanwhile the overlap range of reinforcement repair is controversial. This study aimed to explore the value of ultrasonic volume auto-scan(UVAS) in the diagnosis, classification and treatment of incisional hernia. Methods: Both the width and the area of abdominal wall defect and HCV were measured by UVAS in 50 cases with incisional hernias. In 32 of these cases, the measurements of HCV were compared with those of CT. Classification of incisional hernia based on ultrasonic images were compared with operative diagnosis. Results: The measurements of HCV by UVAS and CT 3D reconstruction had good consistency, of which the mean ratio was 1.0084. According to the location and width of abdominal wall defect, UVAS, which showed good accuracy rate (90%, 96%), reached a good agreement in the classification of incisional hernias with operative diagnoses (Kappa = 0.85, Confidence Interval [0.718,0.996]; Kappa = 0.95, Confidence Interval [0.887,0.999]). The patch area should be at least two times as large as the defect area. Conclusions: UVAS is an accurate alternative to measure the abdominal wall defect and HCV and classify the incisional hernia, with additional benefits of no radiation exposure and instant bedside interpretation. The use of UVAS is conducive to preoperative assessment of the risk of hernia recurrence and abdominal compartment syndrome. |
