Mesh trimming and suture reconstruction for wound dehiscence after huge abdominal intercostal hernia repair: A case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionAbdominal intercostal hernia repair for huge incisional hernia after thoracoabdominal surgery involves a complex anatomical structure. Hence, it is difficult to apply the laparoscopic approach to large hernias in the lateral upper abdomen. Further the optimal approach to mesh exposure without infection after incisional hernia repair is still controversial. Herein, we describe our experience of repairing a huge abdominal intercostal hernia by mesh trimming and suture reconstruction for wound dehiscence. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 73-year-old man presented with an incisional hernia in the left flank from just below the eight intercostal space to the transverse umbilical region 6 months after thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm surgery. Computed tomography revealed an incisional hernia orifice of 17 × 13 cm located on the left flank around the ninth rib. We chose the open approach as treatment because the hernia orifice was large, and we created a mesh placement space in the extraperitoneal cavity and placed expanded polytetrafluoroethylene mesh there with 1-0 nonabsorbable monofilament suture. At postoperative day 26, we observed mesh exposure due to wound dehiscence. Mesh trimming and suture reconstruction for wound dehiscence was performed because there were no signs of wound infection. The postoperative course was uneventful including infection and dehiscence. The patient has been well without recurrence for 14 months since last operation.
conclusionsOptimal treatment for repair of a large abdominal intercostal hernia with thoracoabdominal location is necessary. Moreover, partial mesh removal may be one of the treatment options for mesh exposure if conditions are met.
