Abstract
Background: Repair of large incisional hernias is challenging as primary fascial closure often cannot be achieved. The peritoneal flap hernioplasty, or ‘sandwich’ incisional hernia repair (SIHR), serves to close the fascial gap by utilisation of the thickened hernia sac which also isolates the mesh from intraperitoneal contents and the subcutaneous space. We report outcomes from utilisation of this technique in our institution.
