“Modified Chevrel Technique: An Alternative to Component Separation Technique in Large Ventral Hernias or Difficult to Close Abdomen”

Abstract

Ventral hernias (VH) pose significant challenges for surgeons due to the risk of recurrence, complexities in aligning abdominal muscles, and selecting the most suitable layer for mesh augmentation. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of utilizing the anterior rectus fascia as a turnover flap in conjunction with onlay mesh reinforcement, a procedure known as the modified Chevrel technique (MCT). Here two cases discussed where modified chevrel technique were used.
