DOUBLE MESH REPAIR (SANDWICH TECHNIQUE) WITH
ABDOMINOPLASTY FOR COMPLEX VENTRAL HERNIAS: A NOVEL
TECHNIQUE WITH PROMISING RESULTS

Research Abstract
this study tried to overcome some of the problems that face the surgeon while repairing a complex large ventral midline hernia. We used the hernia sac (peritoneum) to bridge the defect and prevent adhesion formation between the intestine and the inner mish layer without any additional cost. On the other hand, we performed a double layer (Sandwitch) technique with the two meshes separated by the approximated recti muscles. This is supposed to give more strength to the repair. Actually this technique appears to be promising with good results regarding deep wound infection and hernia recurrence.
