Atypical Hernias
and colleagues28evaluated a few patients undergoing primary repair (14), laparo­scopic repair with mesh (10), and open repair with mesh (21), with recurrence rates of 43%, 30%, and 33%, respectively. These investigators also reported that previous sternal wound infection was a risk factor for recurrent hernias after repair, with 6 of 16 patients with recurrences also having a previous sternal wound infection.
28
Data related to incidence and ou tcomes of flank hernias, resulting mostly from traumatic injuries and incisions, are also a mixture of open and l aparoscopic cases. Although not true hernias, there are data related to the incidence of flank bulging after retroperitoneal incisi ons and possible mechanism of this occu rrence. Chatter­jee and colleagues tomy an d reported 49% of patients complaining of flank bulging. Gardner and colleagues
30
29
evaluated 70 patients undergoing flank incisions for nephrec-
performed an analysis of flank bulge using neurophysiologic testing, cadaver dissection, and clinical data on 63 patients. T hese investigators reported an 11% incidence of flank bulge and showed that this phenomenon is related to intercostal nerve injury with subsequent paralysis of the abdominal wall muscula­ture. Da ta from series (>1 patient) on open and laparoscopic repair of fl ank hernias are shown in Table 3. In general, these series rep ort on standard techniques of the open an d laparoscopic repair of the flank hernia, adhering to the principles of wide overlap of mesh with appropriate fixation. However, because o f patient factors, slight differences in techniques, and use of mesh, there is some variability in the outcomes.
A few other published reports on the topic of atypical hernia repair deserve mention, although they do not fit specifically into 1 category of hernia repair. Ferrari and colleagues
31
reported on a series of 39 patients undergoing laparoscopic repair of suprapubic (18), subxiphoid (15), and lateral hernias (6). These investigators showed acceptable outcomes, with a 3% conversion rate, 18% complication rate, mean hospital stay of 5.1 days, and at a mean follow-up of 38 months, a 7.7% recurrence rate. There are also 2 reports on the use of bone anchor fixation for atypical hernias. Carbonell and colleagues
19
reported on 10 patients undergoing open retromuscular repair of lumbar hernias with the use of bone anchors for fixation. These investigators reported excellent outcomes, with a mean hospital length of stay of 5.2 days, no post­operative complications, and at a mean follow-up of 40 months, no recurrences. and colleagues
20
evaluated bone anchor fixation in laparoscopic repairs in 30 patients,
19
Yee
with 17 suprapubic, and 13 lateral. These investigators reported an average length of hospital stay of 5.2 days, 23.3% complication rate, 3.3% mortality, and a 6.7% recur­rence rate at a mean follow-up of 13.2 months.

SUMMARY
Atypical hernias or hernias located at the abdominal borders can be challenging to repair. Thorough knowledge of anatomy, appropriate preoperative planning, and reli­ance on the principles of hernia repair, including wide mesh overlap and fixation, ensure successful outcomes. Many options for repair, including technique and mesh choice, are available for the surgeon. The hernia surgeon should be well versed in the open and laparoscopic approaches and apply them based on the individual clin­ical presentation. Long-term outcomes related to suprapubic, subxiphoid, and lateral hernia repairs are limited; however, open and laparoscopic repairs using wide mesh overlap and adequate fixation have acceptable outcomes and recurrence rates. Future research will likely focus on comparative studies based on patient factors, techniques, mesh, and cost to help surgeons choose the appropriate repairs for indi­vidual patients.

KEY POINTS

Reconstruction of the gastrointestinal tract and an associated abdominal wall defect is not
an operation to be undertaken on an occasional basis.
Patients with enterocutaneous fistulas have complex physical and psychological health
problems, which need to be fully addressed preoperatively by a multidisciplinary team.
Definitive reconstructive surgery should never be undertaken until the patient’s condition
has been optimized, with particular regard paid to eradicating sepsis and restoration of nutritional status.
Preoperative assessment of the gastrointestinal tract and abdominal wall should be
undertaken, to enable a detailed plan to be devised for reconstruction of both.
Definitive reconstructive surgery may require several, staged procedures.Large complex abdominal wall defects continue to present exceptionally challenging
problems and may be best addressed by plastic surgical reconstruction and staged reconstruction of the gastrointestinal tract.
Newer approaches, including biologic implants, may offer alternatives for reconstruction
of large contaminated abdominal wall defects in patients with enterocutaneous fistulas but have not yet been adequately evaluated.

INTRODUCTION

Reconstruction of a large contaminated abdominal wall defect represents a significant challenge, even for the experienced surgeon. Perhaps the most extreme example of the difficulties and complexities associated with these procedures is that of the large abdominal wall defect associated with an enterocutaneous fistula.

management of a complex abdominal wall defect in the setting of enterocutaneous fistulation involves a series of important issues, including the following:
Management of abdominal sepsisOptimization of nutritional status, to facilitate definitive reconstructive surgery
and postoperative healing
Detailed assessment of intestinal anatomyControl of underlying medical disease (especially inflammatory bowel disease)Preservation of intestinal length and avoidance of short bowel syndrome after
reconstructive surgery
Creation of (often multiple) bowel anastomoses or stomasAbsence of abdominal musculature and skin cover as a result of fistula-related
wound infection and necrosis
Significant contamination of the operative field with enteric organisms and their
associated biofilm
Loss of abdominal domain and the potential for abdominal hypertension after
abdominal wall reconstruction
Inability to use many prosthetic materials because of the degree of contamina-
tion, and unproven efficacy of those materials that are available
Psychological support, especially for patients with enteroatmospheric fistulation
and prolonged hospitalization
Surgery to take down enterocutaneous fistulas and reconstruct sizable complex abdominal wall defects is technically challenging and relatively high risk, even in expert hands. Attention to detail is vital if acceptable results are to be obtained, and the complex, multifaceted nature of the care lends itself to a multidisciplinary team approach. Awareness of these issues in the United Kingdom has led to the establish­ment of nationally designated acute intestinal failure units, offering specialized treat­ment of patients with enterocutaneous fistulas.
ACUTE INTESTINAL FAILURE AND ENTEROCUTANEOUS FISTULATION
Many patients with enterocutaneous fistulas have intestinal failure, a condition charac­terized by dependence on the parenteral provision of fluids/electrolytes or nutrition for the maintenance of health (Table 1).
Acute intestinal failure, which is reversible, is distinguished from chronic intestinal failure (short bowel syndrome), which is not.

Acute intestinal failure is usually further subclassified into type 1 (which is self-limiting, usually within 14 days) and type 2 in­testinal failure, which is also capable of resolution, but over a longer time course. Most patients with type 1 intestinal failure have simple ileus or postoperative intestinal obstruction, whereas intestinal failure occurring in patients with enterocutaneous fis­tulas is usually type 2 intestinal failure, requiring many months of treatment and, frequently, major reconstructive surgery before nutritional autonomy is restored. Management of patients with type 2 intestinal failure is best undertaken by dedicated teams of health professionals, comprising surgeons, physicians, nurses, enterostomal therapists, dieticians, pharmacists, clinical biochemists, and psychologists.

CAUSE AND CLASSIFICATION

2,3
An intestinal fistula is an abnormal communication between the intestinal tract and another epithelialized surface, usually the skin. Intestinal fistulas can be internal, communicating with other loops of bowel or another hollow viscus (eg, bladder or va­gina) or external, communicating with the skin (enterocutaneous). When fistulation

Usually postoperative (eg, ileus, small
bowel obstruction)
Intestinal fistula, high-output stoma Postoperative septic and metabolic
complications
Short bowel syndrome after multiple
resections or severe intrinsic disease
occurs in an open abdomen, leaving open loops of bowel exposed within the wound, the fistula is said to be enteroatmospheric (Fig. 1). Simple fistulas open directly onto the skin surface, whereas complex fistulas involve abscess cavities or another viscus.
Enterocutaneous fistulas are often classified according to the daily volume of intes­tinal effluent. High-output intestinal fistulas produce greater than 500 mL of fluid per day, and treatment usually requires parenteral nutrition.
Intestinal fistulation may result from intrinsic disease of the gastrointestinal tract or as a consequence of complications of abdominal surgery (Table 2).
4
Any operation in which dissection of the small intestine occurs may result in post­operative intestinal fistulation. More than three-quarters of enterocutaneous fistulas develop as a consequence of surgery, usually because of breakdown of an intestinal anastomosis or an enteric injury.
4
Up to half of postoperative small bowel fistulas occur after surgery in which no resection or anastomosis has been performed. Division of abdominal adhesions, resulting in unplanned enterotomy and postoperative enteric leakage, either as result of unrecognized small bowel injury, or from an enterotomy repair, account for many of these cases. Avoiding accidental bowel injury is therefore crucially important when undertaking reconstructive surgery (see later discussion).

Enteroatmospheric fistulation almost always results from management of the open abdomen. Although open abdominal management as part of damage control laparot­omy for trauma and severe abdominal sepsis has been reported to be beneficial,
5–7
allowing improved sepsis control, facilitating inspection of the abdominal contents, and avoiding abdominal hypertension, a potentially disastrous consequence of open abdominal management is the danger of injury to the exposed viscera. The open abdomen seems to be an inherently fistulogenic environment,
8
especially in the setting of abdominal sepsis. Although negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) seems to be safe when used for short-term wound care after damage control laparotomy, with fis­tulation reported in 5% or less of patients, more common when NPWT is used for the management of abdominal sepsis, with an incidence varying between 10% and 21%. Fistulation in the open abdomen is particularly difficult to manage and significantly increases mortality.

PREOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT
Reconstructive surgery for a patient with an enterocutaneous fistula should not be un­dertaken until the patient’s condition is optimized. This optimization requires a detailed appraisal of the patient’s fitness for surgery, eradication of sepsis, correction of nutri­tional depletion, and assessment of local, abdominal conditions that are likely to determine the timing of, and techniques used for, reconstructive surgery. It is helpful to deal with issues that limit the patient’s suitability for surgery in order of their impor­tance with regard to threat to life. These management principles may be usefully sum­marized with the acronym SNAP:
Sepsis: elimination of sepsis and provision of skin careNutrition: appropriate, effective, and uncomplicated nutritional supportAnatomy: definition of the anatomy of fistulas, proximal and distal gastrointestinal
tract, and the abdominal wall
Procedure: planning and undertaking the surgical procedure to take down the
fistula and close the associated abdominal wall defect (where appropriate)
