Joon BNR, Arafat Y. Laparoscopic repair of subxiphoid hernia post-CABG repair. J Case Rep Images Surg 2019;5:100066Z12BJ2019.ABSTRACT
Subxiphoid hernia as a complication of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is uncommon. Coronary artery bypass graft subxiphoid hernia mainly occurs in patient who is elderly, high body mass index (BMI) and who has a lot of multiple comorbidities that can impact on healing. However, there are limited studies on the best approach to manage subxiphoid hernia; be it open or laparoscopic and the multiple variants of techniques being described. Due to its anatomic location, repairing subxiphoid hernia can sometimes posed difficulty to the most experienced surgeon, furthermore with a high complication rate. I present a case that I have gathered in a regional hospital who had a laparoscopic repair with a prosthetic mesh placed intraperitoneally (IPOM).
Keywords: Laparoscopic repair, Post-CABG, Subxiphoid hernia
