Hernia patients with a history of recurrent bowel obstructions, chronic bowel dysmotility, and bowel distension have few options for return to a "normal" life. Return of the bowel and adhesiolysis seems the logical surgical solution, but the return of a swollen distended bowel into the abdominal cavity would put patients at a high risk for the development of abdominal compartment syndrome. Hernia repair with large pieces of mesh under tenuous skin flaps to incorporate the bowel into the abdominal cavity has its own set of devastating complications, including mesh infection, extrusion, and fistula formation.
