Abstract
A best evidence topic has been constructed using a described protocol. The three-part question addressed was: In patient undergoing open mesh repair of incisional hernia, is there any difference in the rate of seroma between Sublay and Onlay technique? The best evidence showed that Sublay repair has a lower seroma rate in comparison to onlay repair.
Highlights
This BET was designed using a framework outlined by the Interna tional Journal of Surgery [1]
You are consenting a 45 year old female with recurrent incisional hernia for open mesh repair the pervious operation was complicated with seroma, the patient is wondering which technique provide a lower seroma rate onlay or sublay mesh repair ?
Inclusion criteria: all original articles in children or adults which compare the incidence of seroma among the Onlay and Sublay mesh repair of incisional hernia
Summary
This BET was designed using a framework outlined by the Interna tional Journal of Surgery [1]. This format was used because a pre liminary literature search suggested that the available evidence is of insufficient quality to perform a meaningful meta-analysis. A BET pro vides evidence-based answers to common clinical questions, using a systematic approach of reviewing the literature.
