THE STUDY AIMED TO IDENTIFY THE SURGICAL SITE OCCURRENCES (SSO) AND SURGICAL SITE INFECTION (SSI) RATES IN A LARGE GROUP OF GRADE 3 VENTRAL HERNIA PATIENTS USING THE USE OF A MODIFIED NEGATIVE-PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY (NPWT) SYSTEM (HYBRID-VAC OR HVAC). A FOUR YEAR REVIEW FROM JAN2011 TO DEC2014 WAS CONDUCTED AND 117 PATIENTS (N=50 MALE, N=67 FEMALE; MEAN AGE SD 56.7±11.9 YEARS) WITH GRADE 3 HERNIA UNDERWENT OPEN VENTRAL HERNIA REPAIR AND CONCOMITANT HVAC THERAPY WERE INCLUDED. IN THE PROCEDURE, #1 PROLENE INTERRUPTED SUTURES WERE USED WHEN MIDLINE FASCIA COULD NOT BE RE-APPROXIMATED. A PROLENE MESH ONLAY WAS USED TO COVER ABDOMINAL WALL. 0-PROLENE SUTURES WERE USED AS ANCHOR SUTURES AND TO SECURE MESH TO THE ABDOMINAL WALL. THREE TO FOUR #19 FLUTED DRAINS WERE PLACED AND LEFT IN THE SUBCUTANEOUS SPACE. AT 90-DAY FOLLOW-UP, SSO INCLUDED SUPERFICIAL SSI (N=6), SEROMA (N=15) AND ENTEROCUTANEOUS FISTULA (N=2).
