| Introduction Although with the increased frequency of ventral herniorrhaphy use, it is somewhat surprising that the question of optimal choice of repair is not yet settled. The published data of numerous studies revealed results with major differences. Objectives The aim of this study to compare the results of mini-component separation technique (mini-CST) repair of primary ventral hernia cases with onlay mesh repair. Patients and methods This prospective randomized controlled study was carried out on 64 consecutive adult patients with primary ventral hernia. Patients were divided randomly into two groups. Group A was treated using mini-component separation technique. Group B was treated using suture repair reinforced with onlay polypropylene mesh. Results Group A repair demonstrated 9.4% seroma rate and 6.3% surgical site infection rate (SSI), no wound dehiscence, and 3.1% recurrence rate. Group B repair demonstrated 15.6% seroma rate, 25% SSI, 3.1% wound dehiscence, and no recurrence. For seroma rate, infection, wound dehiscence, and recurrence, values were 0.44, 0.038, 0.31, and 0.31, respectively, between both the group. These results indicate that mesh repair has a small reduction in recurrence rate compared with mini-CST for primary ventral hernias, but an increased risk of SSO (seroma, SSI, and wound dehiscence). Conclusion The repair of primary ventral hernia cases can be made simple without foreign body implantation by holding the concept of CST to allow for tension-free midline fascial closure. We prefer to retain the mesh repair for big defects or complex cases that need either mesh reinforcement or even bridging of the defect. | ||||
