Abstract
The term "hernia" originates from Greek, meaning "to rupture" or "to break" and it specifically refers to a protrusion of an organ or tissue through a weakened area of the body. To compare intraoperative and postoperative outcomes of sublay and onlay meshplasty in the treatment of ventral hernias. The study was conducted at JLN Medical College and Hospitals in Ajmer, focusing on all electively operated cases for ventral hernias within the Department of General Surgery. A total of 100 patients were included in the study, with 50 individuals undergoing Onlay meshplasty and another 50 receiving Sublay meshplasty. The study spanned a duration from January 2023 to January 2024. The study found that patients in Group A (Onlay) had higher rates of complications, including seroma formation (30%), suture site infections (18%), and chronic pain (38%), compared to Group B (Sublay), which had lower rates of 10%, 4% and 10%, respectively, with significant p‐values indicating statistical relevance. Additionally, the mean duration of hospital stay was significantly longer for Group A at 10.08±3.36 days versus 6.82±2.39 days for Group B, while no recurrences were reported in either group. Compared to sublay mesh repair, individuals who undergo onlay mesh repair are more likely to experience complications.
