Incisional hernia repair using Stoppa technique
Incisional hernia repair using Stoppa technique. Upper abdominal incisional hernias can be repaired with mesh extending above the coastal margins. Transfascial sutures secure the mesh circumferentially (A, B). Lower incisional hernias extend into the pelvis and the visceral sac holds the lower aspect of the mesh in place with the patient in the upright position; only a retropubic suture secures the lower aspect of the mesh (C).
