Sandwich mesh repair for the treatment of lumbar incisional hernia: a case series.
Trial report in BMC surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07196254 (Sandwich Mesh Repair for The Treatment Of Lumbar Incisional Hernia), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
backgroundA variety of surgical techniques have been described for the open repair of lumbar incisional hernias. Determining the optimal surgical technique for these hernias remains challenging. This study evaluates the sandwich mesh technique, preperitoneal mesh, and onlay mesh for the treatment of lumbar incisional hernia.
methodsThis is a prospective study conducted to repair lumbar incisional hernias. We employed the sandwich approach with preperitoneal and onlay mesh reinforcement. Postoperative outcomes, complications, and length of hospital stay were assessed. The primary outcome was recurrence of hernia, and secondary outcomes included wound seroma, surgical site infection, and wound ischemia.
resultsTen patients were involved in this study, six males and four females, with a mean age of 50.5 ± 9.32. The main complaints were abdominal protrusion at a site of previous abdominal operation, both in 100% of cases. Pain was present in four patients. All the patients had previous surgery through a lumbar incision; the most frequent surgery was for ureteric stone (7 patients), while the other cause was for nephrectomy (3 patients). 50% of patients presented with comorbidities, including diabetes mellitus, smoking habits, ischemic heart disease, and hypertension. The operative time was 76.4 ± 11.86 min. The mean hospital stay was four days. Complications were infrequent and manageable, with seroma formation being the most common. No major morbidity was observed.
conclusionThe sandwich mesh repair technique represents a potentially feasible surgical option for lumbar incisional hernia repair, demonstrating satisfactory early outcomes and acceptable complication rates.
