Abstract | Background: To 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. Methods: This 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. Results: The 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. Conclusion: Adapting 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. |
