A novel reconstruction method for giant incisional XXXX : Hybrid laparoscopic technique.

@entity1 @entity281 @entity86 @entity547 @entity4037
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Laparoscopic reconstruction of @entity4037 is a popular technique today. @entity1 with large defects have various difficulties of laparoscopic approach. In this study, we aimed to present a new reconstruction technique that combines laparoscopic and open approach in giant incisional @entity547 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between January 2006 and August 2012, 28 @entity1 who were operated consequently for incisional @entity547 with defect size over 10 cm included in this study and separated into two groups. Group 1 (n = 12) identifies @entity1 operated with standard laparoscopic approach, whereas group 2 (n = 16) labels laparoscopic technique combined with open approach. @entity1 were evaluated in terms of age, gender, body mass index (BMI), mean operation time, length of hospital stay, @entity281 ( @entity281 ) and recurrence rate. RESULTS: There are 12 @entity1 in group 1 and 16 @entity1 in group 2. Mean length of hospital stay and @entity281 rates are similar in both groups. @entity86 formation was observed in six @entity1 for group 1 and in only 1 @entity1 for group 2. Group 1 had 1 @entity1 who suffered from recurrence where group 2 had no recurrence. DISCUSSION: Laparoscopic technique combined with open approach may safely be used as an alternative method for reconstruction of giant incisional @entity547 .
