Endoscopic-assisted repair of combined ventral hernias and diastasis recti: minimizing seroma incidence by quilting.

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
backgroundTo reduce the incidence of seromas, we have adapted the quilting procedure used in open abdominoplasty to the endoscopic-assisted repair of concomitant ventral hernia (VH) and diastasis recti (DR). The aim of this study was to describe the technique and assess its efficacy by comparing two groups of patients operated on with the same repair technique before and after introducing the quilting.
methodsThis retrospective study included data prospectively registered in the French Club Hernie database from 176 consecutive patients who underwent surgery for concomitant VH and DR via the double-layer suturing technique. Patients were categorized into two groups: Group 1 comprised 102 patients operated before introducing the quilting procedure and Group 2 comprised 74 operated after introducing the quilting. To carry out comparisons between groups, seromas were classified into two types: type A included spontaneously resorbable seromas and seromas drained by a single puncture and type B included seromas requiring two or more punctures and complicated cases requiring reoperation.
resultsThe global percentage of seromas was 24.4%. The percentage of seromas of any type was greater in Group 1 (27.5%) than in Group 2 (20.3%). The percentage of Type B seromas was greater in Group 1 (19.6%) than in Group 2 (5.4%), when the percentage of Type A seromas was greater in Group 2 (14.9) than in Group 1 (7.9%). Differences were significant (p = 0.014). The operation duration was longer in Group 2 (83.9 min) than in Group 1 (69.9 min). Four complications requiring reoperation were observed in Group 1: three persistent seromas requiring surgical drainage under general anesthesia and one encapsulated seroma.
conclusionAdapting the quilting technique to the endoscopic-assisted bilayer suturing technique for combined VH and DR repair can significantly reduce the incidence and severity of postoperative seromas.
