| description | Background: Component separation techniques have recently gained popularity for the repair of complex ventral hernias. Anterior and posterior component separation techniques offer similar myofascial medialization, with a differing complication profile. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy, patient morbidity and post-operative complications between anterior component separation (ACST) and transversus abdominis release (TAR) for large ventral hernias. Methods: Between December 2017 and September 2019, data was collected and analysed for patients undergoing ACST and TAR, in terms of demographics, peri-operative events, adverse events and hernia recurrence. Results: 25 patients each underwent ACST and TAR during our study period. Mean age was 53.5 and 52.8 years and mean BMI was 31.4 and 29.5 respectively. The mean defect area was 120.8 cm2 and 131.9 cm2, and average mesh size was 741.8 cm2 and 1429.04 cm2 respectively in the ACST and TAR groups. Four patients undergoing TAR had intra-operative complications with none in the ACST group. In the ACST group, 8 patients had an SSI, of which 5 patients needed operative intervention, while 3 patients in the TAR group had an SSI, all of whom were managed with bedside procedures. One patient in the ACST group had a recurrence. None of the patients in the TAR group had a recurrence. Conclusions: Component separation techniques are gaining popularity in treatment of large ventral hernias. While they have comparable outcomes with respect to recurrence, wound morbidity is more frequent and severe in the ACST group. |
