Abstract EN
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare two modalities of treating primary midline incisional hernias taking into consideration recurrence, complications and patient satisfaction.
Methods: A retrospective study of 64 patients who underwent repair for midline incisional hernia was conducted at King Hussein Medical Center, Queen Alia Military Hospital and Prince Ali Hospital between 2001-2004.
Follow up after surgery was reported up to two years.
Results: Among the 64 patients in total, 33 patients underwent suture repair and 31 underwent mesh repair.
Mean follow up was 22 months.
The recurrence rate was 42.4% (14 out of 33) in those who underwent suture repair and 19.3% (6 out of 31) in those who underwent mesh repair.
Conclusion: Mesh repair as a modality of treating primary midline incisional hernia is superior to suture repair regarding recurrence rate, complications and patient satisfaction.
