  • Title: [Reconstruction of incisional hernias with defined tensiometrically controlled tension--a possibility for anatomically correct reconstruction of the abdominal wall].

    Journal: Langenbecks Arch Chir Suppl Kongressbd; 1998; 115():1027-30. PubMed ID: 9931780.
    Abstract:
    The repair of incisional hernias of the abdominal wall is characterized by high rates of recurrence if arbitrary tension is applied. A rationale for selecting the appropriate reconstruction technique as defined by intraoperative tension measurements has proven effective and successful. Here, the inlay/onlay technique tolerates up to 3.5 kilopounds (kp). Our results show that using this technique, complete reconstruction is possible in 65% of cases with a recurrence rate of 2.3%.
