TL;DR: Recommendations to decrease the incidence of incisional hernias it is strongly recommended to utilise a non-midline approach to a laparotomy whenever possible and to perform a continuous suturing technique and to avoid the use of rapidly absorbable sutures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Small bites versus large bites for closure of abdominal midline incisions (STITCH): a double-blind, multicentre, randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: The findings show that the small bites suture technique is more effective than the traditional large bites technique for prevention of incisional hernia in midline incisions and is not associated with a higher rate of adverse events.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A significant reduction in incidence of incisional hernia was achieved with onlayMesh reinforcement compared with sublay mesh reinforcement and primary suture only, and has the potential to become the standard treatment for high-risk patients undergoing midline laparotomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short-term results of a randomized controlled trial comparing primary suture with primary glued mesh augmentation to prevent incisional hernia.

TL;DR: Primary mesh augmentation can be considered a safe procedure with only an increase in seroma formation after OMA, but without an increased risk of surgical site infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Watchful waiting in incisional hernia: is it safe?
Joost Verhelst,Lucas Timmermans,Maurits van de Velde,An P. Jairam,Konstantinos A. Vakalopoulos,Johannes Jeekel,Johan F. Lange +6 more
TL;DR: WW for IH leads to high crossover rates with significantly greater incidence of intraoperative perforations, fistulas, and mortality, than in the OT group, particularly in patients who require emergency repair of IH owing to incarceration.
