| Popis: | Introduction The popularity of endolaparoscopic extraperitoneal repairs has been on the rise due to advantages such as sublay mesh placement and early return to daily activities. However, the procedure requires overcoming a learning curve, and with increased adoption, new complications have emerged. One significant complication is the rupture of the posterior rectus sheath (PRS). In this article, we present our modifications of the technique to reduce tension during PRS closure. Patients and Methods The study included 105 patients who underwent endolaparoscopic extraperitoneal repairs for ventral hernias using two different techniques. Group A (n = 68) underwent the original technique, whereas Group B (n = 37) underwent the modified technique. The modifications in Group B included preserving the peritoneal bridge between the two PRS and the hernia sac, conducting a complete dissection of the space of Bogros and adopting a transverse or oblique closure of PRS along the lines of least tension. To assess the efficacy of these modifications in preventing PRS rupture, we compared the results of both groups. Results Our findings indicate that following all the technical steps of the modified technique resulted in a reduced need for transversus abdominis release for PRS closure and a lower incidence of PRS rupture in the postoperative period. However, to further validate the effectiveness of these modifications, a larger follow-up period and a bigger sample size are required. Conclusions The adoption of the modified technique can help achieve a tension-free PRS closure. |
