Managing a large incisional hernia in an obese and immunosuppressed patient: A case report
This case demonstrates the use of a multilayer reconstruction approach that combines a biologic mesh and the reuse of the hernia sac, offering a viable option for managing complex hernias in high-risk, immunosuppressed patients. This technique minimizes infection risk and provides stable long-term outcomes, even in challenging clinical settings.
