If the defect is too cephalad and precludes adequate space to create a peritoneal ap, it is better to perform an IPOM repair. In this case, two 5mm ports are placed midline above and below the umbilicus. The hernia contents are dissected free from the sac and reduced into the peritoneal cavity. The defect is then measured and closed. Mesh choice in this case should be a dual-sided mesh with an adhesion bar­rier on one side and one side that promotes tissue ingrowth. Mesh size should account for 3–5cm overlap of the hernia defect. The mesh is introduced into the abdomen and placed ush against the abdominal wall, covering the closed defect. The mesh is then secured to the abdominal wall with inner and outer circular rows of tacks (or sutured laparoscopically/robotically) to prevent any intraperitoneal con­tents from sliding between the mesh and the abdominal wall (Figs.25.4 and 25.5).

Flank Hernias
Anatomy andPathophysiology
Flank, or Lumbar hernias, can generally be divided into three categories based on the anatomic location. The rst is a hernia through the inferior lumbar, or Petit’s, triangle. It is eponymously named after its discoverer, who rst described a strangu­lated hernia through this defect in 1738 [12]. It is an upright triangular space bor­dered by the external oblique muscle anterolaterally, latissimus dorsi muscle posteromedially, and the iliac crest inferiorly. The “oor,” or most anterior aspect, of the triangle, is the internal oblique muscle and lumbodorsal fascia. This anatomic triangle is observed in approximately 63–82.5% of cadavers, and the size varies greatly depending on the origins of the external oblique and latissimus dorsi mus­cles. The more lateral the external oblique and more medial the latissimus dorsi muscles insert into the iliac crest, the larger Petit’s triangle becomes, which may cause increased risk of hernia formation [13].
The second type of ank hernia is one through the superior lumbar, or Grynfeltt’s, triangle, also eponymously named after its discoverer, who rst described borders of the superior lumbar triangle in 1866 [12]. It is an inverted triangular space bounded by the internal oblique muscle anteriorly, the sacrospinalis muscle posteri­orly, and the 12th rib and serratus posterior inferior muscle superiorly [13]. The oor of the triangle is also formed by the lumbodorsal fascia [12]. A common site of herniation through this triangle is where the 12th intercostal neurovascular pedi­cle penetrates the lumbodorsal fascia [14]. There are several other anatomic factors that contribute to the development of a hernia at this location, mainly the length and angle of the 12th rib as well as the size of the quadratus lumborum and serratus posterior muscles. A short, obese person with more horizontal ribs, and therefore a larger Grynfeltt’s triangle, is at higher risk for developing a hernia through this space [14] (Fig.25.6).
The third type of ank hernia is a large, diffuse hernia, which can be either con­genital or acquired (trauma or incisional). Any hernia protruding through the space bordered by the costal margin superiorly, iliac crest inferiorly, the erector spinae muscle medially, and the external oblique muscle laterally, not conned to the tri­angles described above, falls into this category of ank hernia [
14] (Fig.25.7).
Etiology andEpidemiology
There are two main etiologies for ank hernias, congenital and acquired. Congenital hernias account for approximately 20% of all ank hernias and appear in infancy, typically associated with other malformations [15]. The other 80% are acquired, 55% of which are primary or spontaneous [16]. Risk factors for these hernias, as with anterior abdominal wall hernias, are any conditions that lead to increased intra­abdominal pressure, disorders of collagen synthesis, and obesity. The remaining of the acquired hernias are secondary hernias, either due to trauma, typically

Incisional hernias can happen after nephrectomies, adrenalectomies, aortic aneurysm repairs, or any other operation requiring a ank incision [15]. An infectious etiology for a ank hernia is exceedingly rare and becoming less com­mon, likely due to improved treatment of infectious diseases. Some possible

infectious processes that can cause ank hernias are osteomyelitis of the iliac crest or ribs, lumbar abscesses, hepatic abscesses, or superinfected retroperitoneal hema­tomas [15].
Surgical Technique
Open Repair
There is an overall paucity of data to guide optimal management of ank hernias. One prospective cohort study published in 2012 comparing laparoscopic to open repair showed laparoscopic repairs were associated with a shorter hospital stay (2.5 vs. 5.1 days, p < .001), fewer days requiring pain medication (6.8 vs. 15.9, p<.001), and comparable recurrence rate at 5years. However, the size of the her­nias in the open group were also larger (14.5 vs. 11.7cm, p=.01), and therefore the study concluded that laparoscopic repair is likely preferred, unless the hernia is greater than 15cm [18].
Depending on the desired approach, the patient can be placed in the lateral decu­bitus position for a posterior approach or supine for an anterior retroperitoneal approach. This decision is governed by hernia location, size, and surgeon prefer­ence. Either an oblique or transverse incision (or through the prior incision, for an incisional hernia) is made over the site of the hernia. Hernias through the superior triangle are found deep to the latissimus dorsi muscle, and inferior triangle hernias are not covered by a muscular layer. Safe, meticulous dissection is required in either case to avoid inadvertently entering the hernia sac. The sac is dissected free from all surrounding tissue and then reduced into the peritoneal cavity [13]. A synthetic mesh (polypropylene, ePTFE, polyester, etc.) is then placed in the preperitoneal space with 5cm overlap of the defect in all directions. The mesh is then xed to the lumbodorsal fascia using nonabsorbable suture where possible. In the case of a hernia through the inferior triangle, inferior xation sutures will need to be placed through the periosteum of the iliac crest. For hernias through the superior triangle, superior xation sutures will need to be placed through the periosteum of the 12th rib, taking care to avoid injuring the neurovascular bundle that runs inferior to the rib [18]. After the mesh is secured, the fascia should be closed without tension, if possible.
MIS Repair
For an IPOM repair, the patient is placed in the semi-lateral decubitus position with a 45-degree elevation, allowing the patient to be rotated to either a fully at or full lateral position. Access to the peritoneal cavity can be either via Veress needle or open Hasson technique at the umbilicus, where a 10mm port is placed. Additional 5 mm ports are then placed midline both superior and inferior to the umbilicus. After safe access to the abdomen is obtained, the hernia contents are reduced, lysing adhesions as necessary. Medial mobilization of the colon at the peritoneal reection may be necessary for adequate exposure of the hernia defect, until the psoas muscle is fully exposed. For inferior triangle defects, the dissection should extend inferiorly

to Cooper’s ligament. For superior triangle defects, dissection extends to the dia­phragm superior to the costal margin. During dissection, care needs to be taken to identify and preserve retroperitoneal structures as well as the lateral femoral cutane­ous nerve at the anterior superior iliac spine. After the defect is fully exposed with enough of a landing zone to have 5cm overlap of the defect in all directions, the defect is measured and appropriate mesh size chosen. Any mesh with an adhesion barrier (polyester, polypropylene, ePTFE) can be used. An attempt at closing the hernia defect should be made, either with intracorporeal suture or transfascial sutures. Depending on the size of the defect, this may be difcult to do without ten­sion. Thus, one must use judgment in this portion of the case. Adequate mesh xa­tion can be challenging due to the bony borders of the hernia defects. For superior triangle hernias, the superior aspect of the mesh can be secured with intracorpore­ally placed suture, tacking the mesh either to the diaphragm or the periosteum of the 12th rib. As with open repairs, care needs to be taken to avoid damaging the neuro­vascular bundle that runs inferiorly along the rib. For inferior defects, the mesh can either be xed to Cooper’s ligament or directly to the iliac crest by one of two methods. One possibility is to drill a hole into the iliac crest and then pass a suture through the hole and then through the mesh [19]. Another possibility is to use tita­nium bone anchors (Mitek GII, JuggerKnot) that are drilled directly into the iliac crest. There are two strands of polyester suture attached to these anchors that can then be passed through the mesh and tied intracorporeally to secure the inferior part of the mesh [20]. After the mesh is secured to the bony structures, the remainder of the mesh can be secured using a laparoscopic tacking device, placing tacks circum­ferentially in the mesh (Fig.25.8).
A second MIS option is a TEP repair. The patient is placed in full lateral decubi­tus position. A 12mm incision is then made in the midaxillary line halfway between the costal margin and the iliac crest. The incision is then taken down to the

peritoneum using a muscle-splitting technique. Either using blunt nger or balloon dissection, a plane is created between the transversalis muscle and the peritoneum. A 12mm port is then placed, and then two 5mm ports are placed superiorly and inferiorly in relation to the 12mm port in the midaxillary line under direct visualiza­tion. The hernia sac is then dissected free, and the hernia is reduced back into the abdominal cavity, taking care to not violate the peritoneum. If the peritoneum is not violated, any mesh without an adhesion barrier can be used (polypropylene, ePTFE, polyester). Again, the mesh needs to be sized for at least 4–5cm overlap with the hernia defect. The mesh is then placed into the preperitoneal space and secured to the bony structures and lumbodorsal fascia in a similar manner to described above [21] (Fig.25.9).
Suprapubic andSubxiphoid Hernias
Anatomy andPathophysiology
The incidence of incisional hernia after laparotomy is approximately 11–20% [22,
23]. Suprapubic and subxiphoid hernias are both typically incisional hernias, typi-
cally located in the midline. Suprapubic hernias are located within 3–4cm superior to the pubic symphysis [23]. They can occur after low midline laparotomies, Pfannenstiel and other incisions used for gynecologic, colorectal, or urologic proce­dures, or suprapubic catheterization [24]. These are challenging hernias to repair due to their proximity to bony and vascular structures, as well as the bladder.
The subxiphoid space is bordered by the sternum and ribs superiorly, the rectus and linea alba anteriorly, and the diaphragm posteriorly and inferiorly [25]. Subxiphoid hernias are dened as being within 3–4 cm inferior to the xiphoid

process. They typically occur after median sternotomy after a wide variety of car­diac procedures. Like suprapubic hernias, they are challenging due to their proxim­ity to bony structures, making mesh xation difcult. When dealing with these hernias, care must be taken to avoid injuring the heart, diaphragm, and neurovascu­lar bundles that run inferiorly to the ribs.
Etiology andEpidemiology
The most common procedure leading to a suprapubic hernia is a radical prostatec­tomy, but similar hernias can occur after any procedure involving the uterus, blad­der, or sigmoid colon/rectum requiring incisions close to the pubic symphysis [26]. The incidence of suprapubic hernias quoted in the literature is comparable to other abdominal wall incisional hernias.
Reported incidence of subxiphoid hernias is approximately 1–4.2% after median sternotomy. However, it is difcult to estimate as most of these hernias do not cause symptoms and are underreported by patients [25]. Patient-related and technical fac­tors have been implicated in the development of these hernias, such as disorders of collagen synthesis, obesity, age, and wound infection [27].
Surgical Technique
Open Repair
As with other incisional hernias, there are several different options for suprapubic and subxiphoid hernia repair and mesh placement. Primary repair should only be used in specic clinical circumstances, such as gross contamination in an emer­gency setting. A variety of different mesh placements are possible, including both onlay, mesh placed above the fascial defect, and underlay, mesh placed below the fascial defect. Underlay mesh placement can either be retromuscular, preperitoneal, or intraperitoneal (must use a dual-sided mesh). Theoretically, underlay mesh place­ment is preferable, as it may be protective against mesh infection in the event of a supercial wound infection [28]. Preperitoneal underlay mesh technique for both suprapubic and subxiphoid hernias will be described below.
For suprapubic hernia repairs, the patient is placed in a supine position, and a three-way Foley catheter is placed to allow for intraoperative bladder distension to aid in safe dissection around the bladder [29]. A vertical midline incision is then made over the hernia. For preperitoneal mesh placement, if possible, entering the hernia sac should be avoided, and the hernia sac should be completely dissected from all surrounding attachments and inverted into the abdomen. The peritoneum is dissected free from the posterior fascia to allow enough space for mesh placement. If the peritoneum is entered, and there is no plan to place a dual-sided mesh, the defects in the peritoneum should be closed with absorbable suture. Dissection should be carried out in all directions to allow for at least 3–5cm overlap of the mesh. Knowledge of lower abdominal anatomy is essential when dissecting

inferiorly, and care needs to be taken to avoid dissection into the bladder, as well as the abundant neurovascular structures near the pubic symphysis. After dissection is complete, the defect should be measured and an appropriate size mesh is chosen. As with other hernia repairs, the choice of mesh material is per surgeon preference, most commonly polypropylene, polyester, or ePTFE meshes are chosen. The main challenge of this repair is inferior mesh xation, as the defect is typically very close to the pubic symphysis, and this is typically the area of highest recurrence [28, 29]. There are two options for inferior xation of the mesh. The rst is using monola­ment suture to x the mesh directly onto the pubis and Cooper’s ligament [28]. The second is using bone anchor xation. Using a cordless drill with a 3mm drill bit, entry xation points are made into the pubic bone or iliac crest. Then, bone anchors are placed in the xation points. There are two strands of polyethylene suture attached to the anchors, which are passed through the mesh and tied down, securing the mesh to the pubis or iliac crest [29]. With the mesh secured inferiorly, the rest of the mesh is then secured with transfascial sutures.
In open subxiphoid hernia repairs, an upper midline incision is made as in the suprapubic hernia repair. Careful dissection is performed around the hernia sac to avoid entering the peritoneum. Any defects made need to be subsequently closed with absorbable suture. The hernia sac should be dissected circumferentially and reduced into the abdomen through the fascial defect. The peritoneum is then care­fully dissected from the posterior rectus sheath, until there is adequate space for synthetic mesh placement with 3–5cm overlap of the defect. Superior dissection may be difcult, due to a scarred xiphoid process, which may need to be removed for adequate exposure of the defect [25]. After the dissection, the mesh is placed in the preperitoneal space. As with suprapubic hernias, mesh xation in subxiphoid hernias superiorly can be challenging, due to the proximity to the costal margin and sternum. The most superior aspect of the mesh may need to be placed intraperitone­ally and sutured to the surface of the diaphragm to obtain adequate overlap of the hernia defect [30]. The remaining mesh should be secured with transfascial sutures in a circumferential fashion.
MIS Repair
Laparoscopic TAPP repair of suprapubic hernia is a durable option as one prospec­tive study of patients undergoing repair between 1996 and 2004 showed a 5.5% recurrence rate with a mean follow-up of 21.1months [24]. In this technique, the patient is placed in the supine position, and a three-way Foley is placed. Intraperitoneal access can be achieved via Veress needle, open technique or optical trocar per surgeon preference and patient factors. Three ports are used, typically with a 12mm port at the umbilicus, and two 5mm ports on either side of the umbi­licus laterally. The hernia contents are dissected free from the hernia sac, and any other intraperitoneal adhesions preventing reduction of hernia contents are lysed using a combination of blunt and sharp dissection. To provide adequate exposure of the pubic bone, Cooper’s ligaments, and the inferior epigastric and iliac vessels, a peritoneal ap is created similar to laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairs. The perito­neum is incised horizontally starting at the median umbilical fold, long enough to

be able to place the mesh, and the dissection is then carried inferiorly. The hernia defect is then measured, and an appropriately sized (3–5cm overlap with the defect) synthetic mesh is chosen, usually ePTFE or a dual-sided composite polyester mesh. Sutures may be placed on the mesh to aid in manipulation and placement beneath the hernia defect. The mesh is introduced into the abdomen and positioned with inferior overlap of the pubis to ensure good coverage of the defect and reduce chances of recurrence near the pubic bone. Tacks are then placed through the mesh onto the pubic bone and Cooper’s ligaments bilaterally for inferior mesh xation. Care needs to be taken when placing tacks in the pubic bone and Cooper’s liga­ments, as tacks placed too lateral and anterior can damage neurovascular structures. Tacks are then placed circumferentially to further secure the mesh and prevent any intra-abdominal contents from slipping underneath the mesh (Fig.25.10).
The rst published report of laparoscopic subxiphoid hernia repair was in 2001, ten patients underwent IPOM repair using ePTFE mesh, with one recurrence in a range of 20–42-month follow-up [31]. The patient is placed in a supine, split-leg position. The peritoneum is entered either with a Veress or open technique, and a 12mm port is placed either supra- or infra-umbilically, depending on the caudad extent of the hernia. Two 5mm ports are then placed in the midclavicular line bilat­erally on either side of the umbilicus. Hernia contents are then dissected free from the sac, in combination with taking down the falciform ligament to the hepatic veins. If possible, the hernia defect is then closed either transabdominally or intra­corporeally. Mesh size is chosen to allow for at least 3–5cm overlap of the defect in all directions; synthetic mesh choice is either a dual-sided polyester or ePTFE mesh. Sutures can be placed in the mesh to help with intra-abdominal manipulation. The mesh is placed into the abdomen and pulled ush against the abdominal wall. The most cephalad portion of the mesh is then secured to the diaphragm either using tacks or laparoscopic suturing [31, 32]. At this point, care must be taken to avoid placing tacks or sutures too deep through the diaphragm, risking cardiac or other intrathoracic injury. After the mesh is secured superiorly to the diaphragm, an outer and inner crown of tacks is placed through the mesh into the abdominal wall cir­cumferentially, completing the repair.

Conclusion
The hernias described above are rare defects with scarce literature to guide man-
agement. They present unique challenges in diagnosis and adequate mesh xa-
tion due to proximity to bony structures. However, despite their rarity and
complexity, the essential tenets of hernia repair still apply: reduction of hernia
contents, tension-free closure of the defect (when possible), and covering the
defect with an appropriately sized mesh. These steps are paramount to perform-
ing a durable hernia repair, regardless of the chosen approach (open vs. MIS,
TAPP vs. TEP vs. IPOM, laparoscopic vs. robotic).
