AB Massive hernias of the abdominal wall present a major challenge to the general surgeon. In some extreme cases of patients with severe cardio-respiratory disease, the repair of such hernias may be impracticable. In these cases, we believe the volume transposition technique is appropriate. In this approach, the hernia volume is calculated and the wall repaired with mesh to accommodate the estimated volume of the hernia sac, thus avoiding any increase in intra-abdominal pressure. We believe this technique is simple, reproducible and useful in cases that are inoperable due to cardio-respiratory problems that make any loss of lung volume unacceptable.
