[PMID: 38854311 PMCID: PMC11160514 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.59897] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Although repairing ventral hernias in individuals who have undergone bariatric surgery is a common practice, persistent technical intricacies and controversies surround their management. Concurrently, addressing ventral hernias in morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery presents a significant surgical challenge, amplified by the larger intraperitoneal cavities and the presence of large hernial sacs. This technical report introduces two innovative techniques to alleviate the challenge of hernia sac distension due to pneumoperitoneum associated with simultaneous bariatric surgery and ventral hernia repair using laparoscopic technique. The methods are designed to address the complexities of the procedures, making their simultaneous execution feasible and safe. The goal is to eliminate the need for two separate interventions while ensuring the outcomes of each procedure remain uncompromised. The larger intraperitoneal cavities and the presence of large hernial sacs are managed successfully, demonstrating the feasibility and safety of the introduced methods. Importantly, the simultaneous execution of both procedures does not compromise the outcomes of either intervention. Concurrently managing ventral hernias in morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery requires innovative solutions to overcome technical challenges. The introduction of these two novel techniques proves to be a valuable approach, making simultaneous execution feasible and safe. Eliminating the need for two separate interventions streamlines the surgical process without compromising the outcomes of either bariatric surgery or ventral hernia repair.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Repair options for ventral hernias in bariatric patients include performing a staged approach in which bariatric surgery is performed before definitive hernia repair (BS-first), a staged approach in which hernia repair is performed before bariatric surgery (HR-first), or a concomitant approach. OBJECTIVES This meta-analysis aims to determine which surgical approach is best for bariatric patients with hernias. SETTING PubMed, CENTRAL, and Embase databases. METHODS A comprehensive search was performed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines to screen for all studies that focused on outcomes of patients who underwent both hernia repair and bariatric surgery, either simultaneously or separately. Exclusion criteria included hiatal and inguinal hernia studies, case reports, and case series. RESULTS 27 studies fit our inclusion criteria after identifying 1584 studies initially. Seven comparative studies were included, enrolling 8548 staged patients (6458 BS-first) and 3528 concomitant patients. A total of 7 single-arm staged studies and 13 single-arm concomitant studies were also included. Data on hernia recurrence, mesh infection, reoperation, surgical site infections, seroma, bowel complications, and mortality were abstracted. The concomitant approach was associated with decreased odds of experiencing surgical site infections, reoperation, and seromas. The staged approach (BS-first) was associated with decreased odds of mesh infection. The single-arm studies suggest a lower incidence of hernia recurrence in a staged BS-first approach than in a concomitant approach. CONCLUSIONS The data suggest a concomitant approach is appropriate for hernias that the surgeon feels do not require mesh, while the staged (BS-first) approach is more appropriate if the hernia requires mesh placement.

Abstract
The review is devoted to the treatment of ventral hernias in patients with morbid obesity. This issue is important due to significant number of such patients and no unambiguous clinical recommendations. The advantages of simultaneous surgery (with bariatric intervention) are obvious, i.e. lower risk of postoperative hernia incarceration and no need for re-hospitalization with another intervention. High risk of bariatric population makes it necessary to minimize surgery time and surgical trauma. A staged approach with reducing body weight surgically or conservatively before hernia repair is often chosen. Hernia repair should be performed using laparoscopic or robotic techniques with obligatory use of mesh implants. Panniculectomy or abdominoplasty as the main surgery is a valid option. Currently, it is necessary to develop clear criteria for selecting patients with morbid obesity for staged and simultaneous treatment of ventral hernias.

Abstract
Purpose Obesity is associated with recurrence of complex incisional hernia repair (CIHR). Bariatric procedure during CIHR can improve recurrence rates without increasing morbidity. This study aimed to describe our results after CIHR in patients with obesity, in which a simultaneous bariatric procedure was performed. Materials and Methods We performed a retrospective observational study including patients who underwent surgery between January 2014 and December 2018, with a complex incisional hernia (CIH) according to the Slater classification and body mass index (BMI) ≥35. CIHR was the main indication for surgery. We collected demographic data, comorbidities, CIH classification according to the European Hernia Society, type of bariatric procedure, postoperative morbidity using the Dindo-Clavien classification, and short-term results. Computed tomography (CT) is performed preoperatively. Results Ten patients were included in the study (7 women). The mean BMI was 43.63±4.91 kg/m2. The size of the abdominal wall defect on CT was 8.86±3.93 cm. According to the European Hernia Society classification, all CIHs were W2 or higher. Prosthetic repair of the CIH was selected. Onlay, sublay, preperitoneal, and inlay mesh placement were performed twice each, as well as one modified component separation technique and one transversus abdominis release. Gastric leak after sleeve gastrectomy was the only major complication. Short-term outcomes included one recurrence, and % total weight loss was 24.04±8.03 after 1-year follow-up. Conclusion The association of bariatric procedures during CIHR seems to be feasible, safe, and could be an option for surgical treatment in selected patients.

Abstract
Ventral and incisional hernias in obese patients are particularly challenging. Suboptimal outcomes are reported for elective repair in this population. Preoperative weight loss is ideal but is not achievable in all patients for a variety of reasons, including access to bariatric surgery, poor quality of life, and risk of incarceration. Surgeons must carefully weigh the risk of complications from ventral hernia repair with patient symptoms, the ability to achieve adequate weight loss, and the risks of emergency hernia repair in obese patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Periumbilical hernias are a common finding in morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery; however, the timing of repair is still debated. The aim of this paper is to compare the outcomes of simultaneous versus delayed mesh repair of umbilical hernia in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). METHODS We retrospectively compared 2 groups of morbidly obese patients with small/medium periumbilical hernia (up to 4 cm) in a case-matched study: the first group underwent LSG with simultaneous periumbilical hernia repair; in the second, hernioplasty was performed after weight loss induced by LSG. Patients were matched at a 1:1 ratio according to age, comorbidities, defect size (<2 or ≥2 cm), and obesity grade (<40 or ≥40 kg/m). Demographic, clinical information, hernia size, data from the surgery, and its complications were retrieved and analyzed. RESULTS In total, 40 patients were retrieved from our prospectively maintained database and divided into 2 matched groups of 20 subjects each. Baseline characteristics were comparable. After a median time of 19.8±5.6 months, the recurrence rate was not significantly different in the 2 groups. There was no difference in the rate of single complications, but overall morbidity was significantly higher in patients undergoing a 2-step approach. LSG operation time and hospital stay resulted in comparable, but total hospital stay was longer for those readmitted for delayed hernioplasty. CONCLUSIONS In the case of morbidly obese patients with small/medium periumbilical hernia undergoing LSG, a simultaneous approach should be offered. Our proposed technique did not prolong operative time and showed a lower rate of overall morbidity.

Abstract
Morbid Obesity is increasing worldwide at fast pace with associated co-morbidities also on the rise. Considering that Obesity is one of the main risk factors for developing a Ventral Hernia this will results that in the future we will experience a rise in those hernia in patients undergoing any abdominal surgery. There is no clarity on the best timing and choice for procedures. We are well aware also on the difficulties in hernia repair surgery and the relative outcome so adding obesity as co-factors amplify the challenges. In fact, today both general surgeons with expertise in abdominal wall repair and bariatric surgeons are faced with a new dilemma: the obese patient with an abdominal wall hernia. This article will briefly review the impact of obesity on the natural history of hernia, its associated complication, management strategies and outcome.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Management of ventral hernia in obese is a complex problem. The methods of weight loss, alternatives if the patient cannot undergo bariatric surgery, timing, and type of hernia surgery lacks clarity and are dependent on resources and expertise. There is a need for algorithms based on local population and expertise. In this paper, we present the outcomes of our institutional algorithm. METHODS It was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. Patients with body mass index (BMI) > 30Kg/m2 were included to undergo surgery as per algorithm taking into account (a) presentation (symptomatic vs asymptomatic), (b) hernia characteristics (defect width, site, reducibility), and (c) obesity characteristics (BMI, subcutaneous fat, android vs gynecoid). Data on age, BMI, comorbidities, tobacco consumption, hernia width, location, contents, previous surgery, intraoperative parameters (the type of surgery, mesh, drain, fixation), and outcomes (seroma, hematoma, infection, recurrence) were collected. RESULTS A total of 50 patients underwent treatment as per the algorithm. Mean BMI was 36.6 ± 7.3 kg/m2. The mean follow-up was 17.6 ± 7.2 months. The mean defect width was 4.8 ± 2.9 cm. There were two (4%) recurrences in patients who underwent an anatomical repair under emergency conditions. None of the patients who underwent an elective repair had a recurrence. Total surgical site occurrence was 12% and surgical site occurrence requiring procedural intervention was 8%. There was one (2%) mortality on postoperative day 7 due to myocardial infarction. CONCLUSION The algorithm has shown encouraging results in the short-to-medium term. Long-term evaluation with a higher number of patients is needed to confirm its usefulness.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The American College of Surgeons tracks 30-day outcomes using the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation Quality Initiative Program (MBSAQIP) database. We examined the short-term outcomes of patients that undergo bariatric surgery concomitantly with other operations such as hernia repairs and cholecystectomy to determine the safety of this practice. METHODS The MBSAQIP Participant Use Data File for 2015-2017 was examined for differences in primary bariatric operations vs concomitant procedures (CP). We looked for concurrent CPT codes for laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and hernia repairs (ventral, epigastric, incisional, and inguinal). p was significant at < 0.05. RESULTS There were 464,674 cases, of which 15,614 had CP. For both LRYGB+LC and SG+LC, there were increased operative times and length of stay. There were statistically significant higher rates of readmission, reintervention, and reoperation for SG+LC vs SG alone, as well as for LRYGB+hernia and SG+hernia. There was a higher risk of death (p < 0.001) in LRYGB+hernia patients. Also, LRYGB+hernia patients had statistically significant increases in unplanned admission to the intensive care unit and pulmonary embolus. SG+hernia patients had a higher rate of ventilation > 48 h, unplanned admission to the ICU, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, and readmission, reintervention, and reoperation. CONCLUSIONS There is a statistically higher rate of complications with concomitant procedures in the MBSAQIP database. Length of stay and operative times are increased in concomitant operations as are readmissions, reinterventions, and reoperations. These findings would indicate that additional procedures at the time of bariatric surgery should be deferred if possible.

Abstract
Introduction: Obesity predisposes patients to the development of abdominal wall hernias. Ventral hernia incidence, size, and recurrence rate are all increased in this population. As such, the surgeon is likely to encounter patients presenting for metabolic and bariatric surgery with existing ventral hernias. Controversy persists regarding the algorithm for treatment in this situation. Do we wait to repair, or is the weight inconsequential? Materials and Methods: We critically reviewed the available literature accessed through PubMed on the repair of ventral hernias in the obese population. Specifically, we focused on the outcomes after staged repair versus concurrent repair at the time of bariatric surgery. We aim at providing an overview of the conclusions from past and present publications with commentary by the authors. Results: A review of the literature finds conflicting opinions regarding the safety and success of concurrent ventral hernia repair at the time of bariatric surgery. Obese patients frequently have complex hernias and are predisposed to poor wound healing and increased recurrence. Although some small studies find success with concurrent repair, large registry analyses as well as expert consensus statements advocate for staged repair. Conclusion: For the obese patient with large ventral hernia, the authors recommend a staged approach, beginning with bariatric surgery and deferring the hernia repair until significant weight loss is obtained. The exception exists, and each patient must be evaluated critically regarding hernia size, contents, and risk of obstruction if left untreated.

Best evidence topic: Should ventral hernia repair be performed at the same time as bariatric surgery? Ann Med Surg (Lond) 2016; 11:21-5.

Abstract
A best evidence topic has been constructed using a described protocol. The three-part question addressed was: In morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery, when a ventral hernia is picked up in clinic or intraoperatively is concurrent repair of the hernia better than delayed repair after weight loss with regards to complication rates? Using the reported search, 179 papers were found. 5 studies were deemed to be suitable to answer the question. All 5 studies assessed were non randomised studies either retrospective or prospective and the overall quality of these studies was poor. The outcomes assessed were incidence of complications associated with hernia repair (recurrence, infection) and deferral of repair (small bowel obstruction). The patient's symptoms and anatomy is important in determining the timing of repair. The evidence does not provide a consensus for the optimal timing of ventral hernia repair for patients undergoing bariatric surgery, with some of the selected studies contradicting each other. However, the studies do affirm the risk of small bowel obstruction if hernias are left alone. The reported rate of surgical site infection is low when mesh repair is performed at the same time as weight loss surgery. Until large volume, high quality randomized control trials can be performed, a case by case approach is best, where the patients' symptoms, anatomy, type of bariatric surgery and their personal preferences are considered, and an open discussion on the risks and benefits of each approach is undertaken. There is a paucity of evidence on this topic & overall, the quality is poor. Some of the selected studies contradict each other. The studies affirm the risk of small bowel obstruction if hernias are left alone. SSI rates are low during concomitant bariatric surgery & mesh repair of hernia. A case by case approach is best, with an open discussion of the risks & benefits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity predisposes patients to abdominal wall hernias. Patients undergoing bariatric surgery are not uncommonly found to have ventral hernias. Synchronous ventral hernia repair (S-VHR) has been reported in 2-5% of patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Studies reporting on the outcomes of S-VHR are limited by sample size. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of S-VHR on surgical site infection (SSI) rate. METHODS The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database from 2010 to 2011 was queried using Current Procedural Terminology codes for bariatric surgery. Data on patient demographics, comorbidities, procedural events, and postoperative occurrences were analyzed. Thirty-day mortality and morbidity were assessed. Comparisons between laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) were performed. RESULTS We identified 17,117 patients who underwent RYGB or SG. S-VHR was performed in 503 (2.94%) patients. S-VHR was independently associated with SSI (odds ratios (OR) 1.65, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.06-2.58), but not overall morbidity (OR 1.33, 95% CI 0.96-1.86). Four hundred thirty-three patients with RYGB and 70 with SG had S-VHR. Serious morbidity (3.5 vs. 5.7%, p = 0.32) and overall morbidity (8.3 vs. 8.6%, p = 0.942) were similar. After controlling for baseline comorbidities, there was no significant effect of procedure type on SSI (OR 0.38, 95% CI 0.05-2.91). CONCLUSIONS S-VHR is associated with an increase in SSI but not overall morbidity. There is no significant difference in the SSI rate between RYGB and SG. Larger studies are needed to definitively assess a potential difference in the wound infection rate between RYGB and SG.

Abstract
Background In this study, we specifically aimed to analyze the technical and safety aspects of laparoscopic diverted sleeve gastrectomy with ileal transposition (DSIT) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Methods A total of 360 patients with type 2 diabetes who underwent a DSIT procedure within the past 2-year period (2011–2013) were analyzed. Operation time, length of hospital stay, perioperative and postoperative complications, and mortality were recorded and analyzed. Results The participants consisted of 229 males (63.6 %) and 131 females (36.4 %). Mean duration of follow-up was 12.4 months (range, 6–31). One early and two late mortalities occurred. Early mortality was due to an anastomotic leak, and late mortalities were related to myocardial infarction and a traffic accident. Leakage and bleeding were the most common surgical complications. The total number of surgical complications was 22 (6.1 %). Of those, 19 occurred within the first month (early) and 3 occurred after the first month (late). Among early complications, seven (1.94 %) required re-operation, two patients (0.55 %) required endoscopic treatment, and the remaining ten were managed conservatively. Late surgical complications (sleeve angulation) were noted in three patients (0.83) and were treated by endoscopic stents. Surgery-related non-surgical complications occurred in 19 cases (5.2 %), and neurological complications were noted in 11 patients (3.05 %). Additional surgical intervention was required in 26 patients (7.22 %). Of those, 15 (4.16 %) required cholecystectomy. Conclusions Our data demonstrate that DSIT is a technically feasible operation and can be safely performed in type 2 diabetic patients with acceptable complication and mortality rates.

Abstract
Primary ventral hernias and ventral incisional hernias have been a challenge for surgeons throughout the ages. In the current era, incisional hernias have increased in prevalence due to the very high number of laparotomies performed in the 20th century. Even though minimally invasive surgery and hernia repair have evolved rapidly, general surgeons have yet to develop the ideal, standardized method that adequately decreases common postoperative complications, such as wound failure, hernia recurrence and pain. The evolution of laparoscopy and ventral hernia repair will be reviewed, from the rectoscopy of the 4th century to the advent of laparoscopy, from suture repair to the evolution of mesh reinforcement. The nuances of minimally invasive ventral and incisional hernia repair will be summarized, from preoperative considerations to variations in intraoperative practice. New techniques have become increasingly popular, such as primary defect closure, retrorectus mesh placement, and concomitant component separation. The advent of robotics has made some of these repairs more feasible, but only time and well-designed clinical studies will tell if this will be a durable modality for ventral and incisional hernia repair.
