Results of a Prospective Cohort Study on Open Rives Technique of the Midline Incisional Hernia: Midline Closure and Mesh Overlap

Conclusions. Rives technique provides good mid-term results in a midline incisional hernia (10% of recurrence at 36 months), including wider hernias in the recurrent cohort. The authors believe that other techniques which allow midline closure and placement of bigger meshes should be considered, especially in those hernias classified as W3 on EuraHS classification (more than 10 cm on width size).PMID:34275369 | DOI:10.1177/15533506211033137
