Intraoperative fascial traction (IFT) for treatments of large ventral hernias
This study summarises a retrospective analysis of 50 cases treated with IFT. 94 % of the patients had a hernia width above 10 cm (W3 according to EHS). Mean defect size before traction was measured at 16.1 cm intraoperatively.
- 90% successful closure
- Low complication rate: 12% postoperative complications whereof 50% didn't need surgical intervention
- all patients received augmentation in sublay position
- No cases of abdominal compartment syndrome

Intraoperative Fascial Traction in Robotic Abdominal Wall Surgery; An Early Experience
The first article reporting of 3 cases combining robotic ventral hernia repair and intraoperative fascial traction. A retromusculular hernia repair was performed followed by a transcutaneous IFT.
- First cases showed promising results
- IFT is easily combinable with robotic hernia repair
- IFT facilitates robotic suturing of the hernia defect
- IFT can potentially be used in robotic repair for very large defects
