Abstract.

Background: Myofascial release (MFR) techniques, including retromuscular hernia repair, are often considered one-time repairs. We report recurrent ventral hernia repair (RVHR) in patients with prior MFR, focusing on redo-RM repair. Methods: Retrospective analysis of all patients undergoing RVHR after prior MFR. Primary outcomes were operative time, surgical site infection (SSI), surgical site occurrence (SSO), and 20-month recurrence. Results: 111 RVHR were performed after MFR. For patients with prior external oblique release (EOR, n = 31), transversus abdominis release (TAR) was used for repair in 13. For patients with prior TAR/PCS (posterior component separation) (n = 22), EOR (n = 2) and redo-TAR (n = 3) were employed with comparable results. Prior retromuscular (RM) repair was performed in 92 patients. Redo-RM (n = 32) and intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM; n = 38) were most common. Operative time was longer for redo-RM. SSI (12.5 vs 7.9%), SSO (40.1 vs 39.5%), and recurrence (18.8 vs 16.2%) were similar for redo-RM and IPOM repair. Conclusion: RVHR after prior MFR does not preclude additional MFR. Redo-RM VHR outcomes are similar to those repaired with other techniques.
