摘要

Repair of incisional hernias, especially for large abdominal, wall defects, can cause increases in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) or cause abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). The World Society of Abdominal Compartment Syndrome lists massive incisional hernia repair as a risk factor for the development of ACS. Rives-Stoppa repair, a prosthetic procedure, is considered by many surgeons as the gold standard for incisional hernia repair. 53 surgical procedures using polypropylene or ePTFE for repairing were analyzed. The aim of our study was to investigate whether textile material choice influences postoperative IAP values. American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) score, patient body mass index (BMI) and defect size were considered for the comparison. The choice of material did not influence postoperative IAP values in any of the investigated circumstance.
