Brief summary
This is a multicentric prospective randomized study comparing technique of tension-free repair with placement of a bovine pericardium bioprosthesis (Tutopatch® and Tutomesh®) to current conventional surgical techniques in potentially contaminated hernia repair and abdominal wall reconstruction. The hypothesis is that using Tutomesh® prostheses reduces the risk of postoperative complications at 30 days in the treatment of incisional hernias or complicated abdominal wall hernias (ref early complications) for potentially contaminated fields.
Interventions
PROCEDUREConventional technique
Conventional technique to repair potentially contaminated incisional or abdominal wall hernias
PROCEDURETechnique Tutomesh®
Technique of abdominal wall reconstruction or hernia repair strengthened by Tutomesh® in potentially contaminated environment.

Exclusion criteria
* Patient with major anesthetic risk (ASA 4) * Patient suffering from immunodepression or under immunosuppressor treatment (corticoids…) * Patients already enrolled in another study * Patient suffering from severe disease not allowing a 1-year follow-up * Patient refusing to be enrolled after consulting the information letter * Patient presenting with a too large incisional hernia, superior to 140x200 mm * Pregnancy
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| risk of postoperative complications: occurrence of complications related to pathology or surgery will be evaluated with the report of adverse events and emergency visits | 30 days |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| recurrence risk: Assessment of relapse thanks to emergency visits and to adverse events' report | 1 year |
| the impact on postoperative pain: Assessment of postoperative pain by postponing analgesics | 1 year |
| the socio-economic impact will be evaluated with the concomitant treatment and hospitalisations. | 1 year |
| the impact on patients' quality of life: The evaluation of patient's quality of life will be done with the questionnaire quality of life SF12 | 1 year |
