Abstract

Mesh repairs are widely accepted as a suitable option for ventral hernia repair. Among the various devices and surgical approaches used for ventral hernia repair, the UltraPro Hernia System (UHS) is considered an effective method of open repair for patients with medium ventral hernia defects between 3 and 5 cm in diameter. However, few clinical studies on this system have been reported. We describe a simple and safe UHS mesh technique for open ventral hernia repair, which was performed successfully under local anesthesia in 23 patients with medium ventral hernia defects. Minor postoperative complications included seroma (n = 3) and a superficial infection (n = 1). There was no incidence of recurrence in 12 months of follow-up. Our results show that the UHS is simple and easily reproducible for medium ventral hernia defects between 3 and 5 cm in diameter.
