Laparoscopic Intraperitoneal Onlay Mesh (IPOM) "Swiss Cheese" Ventral Incisional Hernia Repair with Urinary Bladder Mobilization: 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
BACKGROUND Incisional hernias (IH) are a common problem worldwide. The development of IH is influenced by factors related to the patient, the operative technique, and the suture material. In the treatment of ventral incisional hernias, laparoscopic IPOM and open sublay mesh repair are the most common techniques used for primary and recurrent hernias, with comparable short- and long-term outcomes. CASE REPORT We report a case of a pubo-umbilical "swiss cheese" IH treated by laparoscopy with the placement of a non-resorbable mesh in intraperitoneal position. The urinary bladder was mobilized for a convenient mesh fixation and sutured to the mesh in the previous anatomical position, at the level of the upper peritoneal layer. "Swiss cheese" hernia is a particular form of IH, characterized by the presence of multiple small defects. Laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) IH repair for defects under 10 cm is a reliable alternative to open ventral hernia repair. Transfascial sutures represent a simple solution for the defect closure and are associated with lower incidence of seroma and recurrence. The use of a mesh allows improving the muscle functionality and preventing hernia recurrence and also is associated with reduced recurrence rates compared to primary suture repair and additionally provides superior mechanical stability. CONCLUSIONS In case of pubo-umbilical medial "swiss cheese" IH, mobilization of the urinary bladder is necessary and allows a complete abdominal wall approximation and convenient mesh placement.
