Beschreibung: Purpose We studied the effectiveness of biomechanically calculated abdominal wall reconstructions for incisional hernias of varying complexity in an open, prospective observational registry trial. Methods From July 1st, 2017 to December 31st, 2020, four hospitals affiliated with the University of Heidelberg recruited 198 patients with complex incisional hernias. Hernias were repaired using biomechanically calculated reconstructions and materials classified on their gripping force towards cyclic load. This approach determines the required strength preoperatively based on the hernia size, using the Critical Resistance to Impacts related to Pressure. The surgeon is supported in reliably determining the Gained Resistance, which is based on the mesh-defect-area-ratio, as well as other mesh and suture factors, and the tissue stability. Tissue stability is defined as a maximum distension of 1.5 cm upon a Valsalva maneuver. In complex cases, a CT scan of the abdomen can be used to assess unstable tissue areas both at rest and during Valsalva’s maneuver. Results Larger and stronger gripping meshes were required for more complex cases to achieve a durable repair, especially for larger hernia sizes. To achieve durable repairs, the number of fixation points increased while the mesh-defect area ratio decreased. Performing these repairs required more operating room time. The complication rate remained low. Less than 1% of recurrences and low pain levels were observed after 3 years. Conclusions Biomechanical stability, defined as the resistance to cyclic load, is crucial in preventing postoperative complications, including recurrences and chronic pain.
