| Abstract |
Repair of a large abdominal wall incisional hernia is a difficult surgical problem with recurrence being a common complication. In addition, other complications such as hematomas, seromas, and sinus formation result from the use of foreign material. A new technique to obviate these complications was used in 60 patients with large incisional hernias repaired over the last 15 years. Marlex polypropylene mesh was used for repair, sandwiched between 2 layers of peritoneum of the overstretched hernia sac. There was no operative mortality and no recurrence in follow up from 3 years to 7 years. Postoperative complications encountered could be managed conservatively, without necessitating any major surgical procedure or mesh removal. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 January 2024.
All research outputs
#4,694,486
of 22,780,165 outputs
Outputs from World Journal of Surgery
#807
of 4,225 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#2,090
of 18,394 outputs
Outputs of similar age from World Journal of Surgery
#1
of 2 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,780,165 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 76th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,225 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.6. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 18,394 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
