Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Onlay Meshplasty   Onlay meshplasty is the standaed of care that is being implemented in JIPMER owing to its technical feasilibity and lesser duration. In onlay mesh repair, the peritoneal surface and fascia were closed with polypropylene sutures. The subcutaneous tissue was released to place the mesh on the anterior aspect of the fascia. The mesh was placed on the anterior aspect of the fascia with at least 5 cm overlapping the fascial edges at all sides and was fixed to the fascia with polypropylene sutures. In all patients, a vacuum drain was placed above the mesh, and the skin and subcutaneous tissue were closed with absorbable sutures. Post operative outcome will be measured in terms of pain , ssi ,seroma formation , recurrence , length of hospital stay , duration of drain kept in situ etc  
Intervention  Sublay Meshplasty   Sublay meshplasty is a novel , less explored technique which we are trying to introduce. In sublay mesh repair, the posterior aspect of the rectus muscle was dissected and a polypropylene mesh was placed below the rectus muscle. The mesh was fixed to the posterior rectus sheet using polypropylene sutures. If the fascia could be closed without tension, it was sutured to the closest part of the mesh. In all patients, the mesh was placed so that at least 5 cm overlapped the fascia at all sides. Post operative outcome will be measured in terms of pain , ssi ,seroma formation , recurrence , length of hospital stay , duration of drain kept in situ etc

Brief Summary   Ventral hernia repair is among the most frequently performed surgical operation globally and the two operative techniques most frequently used in cases of ventral hernia are the onlay and sublay repair.

The repair of ventral hernias has always been a big challenge to the surgeons. 

Different mesh placement techniques has been followed. Onlay (Overlay) repair places the mesh directly on the anterior fascia. Inlay repair places the mesh inline with the hernia defect and secures the mesh circumferentially to the edges of the fascia. Sublay repair refers to retro rectus or preperitoneal mesh placement. Intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) refers to an intraperitoneal mesh position.  

Mesh hernioplasty method was considered as a golden choice to prevent or minimize incidence of recurrence but the question is where surgeons should put the mesh sublay or onlay? Although, it remains uncertain as to which repair technique has shown to be more successful.

This study aims to compare Onlay with Sublay mesh repair for open incisional hernia and evaluate outcomes related to post-operative complications, recurrence of hernia, length of hospital stay etc.
