    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    IT WAS REPORTED IN A JOURNAL ARTICLE WITH TITLE: OUTCOMES OF THE RIVES - STOPPA TECHNIQUE IN INCISIONAL HERNIA REPAIR: TEN YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. THIS RETROSPECTIVE STUDY AIMED TO ASSESS THE OUTCOMES OF IRANIAN PATIENTS UNDERGOING THE R¿S TECHNIQUE AND TO DETERMINE FACTORS AFFECTING RECURRENCE RATE AND TIME. BETWEEN 1993 AND 2003, 86 PATIENTS (MEAN AGE 51.21 YEARS, MALES N=20, FEMALE N=66) WHO HAD UNDERGONE THE CLASSIC R¿S TECHNIQUE FOR VENTRAL INCISIONAL HERNIA WERE INCLUDED IN THIS STUDY. TWO TYPES OF MESH WERE USED, PROLENE AND MERSILENE. COMPLICATIONS INCLUDED SEROMA (N=1) IN WHICH FLUID COLLECTION RESOLVED ON ITS OWN; RECURRENT HERNIA (N=5), SUPERFICIAL WOUND INFECTION (N=10) WHICH WAS TREATED WITH ANTIBIOTICS AND LOCAL CARE; DEEP WOUND INFECTION (N=3) IN WHICH ONE PATIENT NEEDED REMOVAL OF THE MESH AND THE OTHER TWO UNDERWENT ANTIBIOTIC THERAPY, MESH INFECTION (N=2) AND INTESTINAL PARTIAL OBSTRUCTION (N=1). IN CONCLUSION, THE R¿S TECHNIQUE IS THE MOST PROMISING OPEN TECHNIQUE, WITH LOW RECURRENCE RATES, EXCELLENT LONG-TIME RESULTS, AND MINIMAL SERIOUS MORBIDITY. AGE MIGHT BE AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN RECURRENCE RATE.
