- 18. Outcome of Componentseparation techniques Rafat Y Afifi Hernia 9(4),310-315, 2005 Massive ventral hernias are difficult to repair, numerous methods has been described with overall recurrence rate up to 33% after first repair and 44% after second repair, mostly occurring within 3 years of repair. Novitsky, Yuri W. et al: Annals of Surgery, Volume 264, Number 2, August 2016, pp. 226-232(7) December 2006 to December 2014. 428 consecutive PCS-TAR procedures were analyzed. Eighty (18.7%) surgical-site events occurred, of which 39 (9.1%) were surgical-site infections. Three patients required mesh debridement; however, no instances of mesh explantation occurred. Of the 347 (81%) patients with at least 1-year follow-up (mean 31.5 mo), there were 13 (3.7%) recurrences.

- 21. Summary • Midline fascialclosure is an essential component of ventral hernia repair • Large defect needs abdominal wall musculo-fascial release in order to prevent • Tension in suture line • To prevent abdominal compartment syndrome • Anterior component separation could be sufficient to provide musculo- fascial release <10 cm of defect and allows mesh placement in retro rectus space(Reeve-Stopa) • Posterior component separation + TR provides sufficient musculo-fascial release for > 10 cm defect and in complex cases and allows large mesh under cover of sheath-peritoneal complex avoiding gut contact. • Outcome in large series and meta analysis shows lower rates of wound related events and recurrences in both open and minimal access approaches.
- 22. Conclusion • Component separationtechniques are powerful tools in order to overcome challenges of complex large ventral hernias • Anatomical orientation of abdominal wall layers is the key to dissect in correct plane. • Use of MIS is promising in this field • Outcome of surgery depends on correct decision for correct techniques.

Editor's Notes
- #12 The “classic” anterior component separation technique is well described by Clarke “Midline scar excision is followed by extensive skin flap mobilization. The lateral border of the rectus muscle is located, as well as a point 1 cm lateral to the rectus, the external oblique aponeurosis and muscle are divided from the inguinal region to the costal margin. Lateral dissection deep to the external oblique allows creation of a “sliding myofascial flap” consisting of internal oblique and transversus muscles. Cephalad to the costal margin, where the rib cage protects against herniation, the lateral border of the rectus may be released to allow these muscles to be mobilized from the chest wall and apposed in the midline to “fill” the epigastrium. Attenuated tissue around the hernia is resected, and the posterior rectus sheath may also be incised longitudinally, if additional mobilization is desirable. The midline is then closed with a single layer of heavy monofilament suture” (7).
- #13 Novitsky et al. (9) have described the novel technique of transversus abdominis release (TAR) (Figure 1B): “The retromuscular plane is developed toward the linea similunaris, visualizing the junction between the posterior and anterior rectus sheaths. The perforators to the rectus muscle (branches of the thoracoabdominal nerves, penetrating the lateral edge of the posterior rectus sheath) are visualized and preserved. Starting in the upper third of the abdomen, about 0.5 cm medial to the anterior/posterior rectus sheath junction, the posterior rectus sheath is incised to expose the underlying transversus abdominis muscle. The muscle is then divided along its entire medial edge using electrocautery. This step is initiated in the upper third of the abdomen where medial fibers of the transversus abdominis muscle are easiest to identify and separate from the underlying fascia. This step allows entrance to the space between the transversalis fascia and the divided transversus abdominis muscle. Once similar release is performed on both sides, the posterior rectus sheaths are reapproximated in the midline with a running monofilament suture. The mesh is placed as a sublay in the retromuscular space and secured with sutures. The anterior rectus sheaths are then reapproximated in the midline to restore the linea alba ventral to the mesh”(9).
