    Objective: To carry out a comparative study between the use of tubular drains in closed suction system and the use of progressive tension sutures in patients with large incisional hernias, undergoing hernia repair with onlay positioned mesh, in order to evaluate the post operative seromas and wound infection as endpoints. Methods: From May to December 2012, forty two patients with incisional hernias (5 -15 cm length) underwent surgical repair with onlay placement of mesh as described by Chevrel, at Western Parana University Hospital. After mesh placement, patients were electronically randomized in two groups. In group I, closed suction subcutaneous drains were used in the patients. In group II, progressive tension stitches were used, as described by Pollock. Patients were clinically evaluated regarding seromas and wound infection during the first 30 days after surgery. Ultrasound of abdominal wall was used in the following periods: 4 -6 postoperative days (early period), 14 – 15 postoperative days (intermediary period) and 29 – 30 postoperative days (late period) to evaluate seroma formation. Results: Both groups were similar in regard to gender, age, body mass index, smoking, cardiologic risk factors, serum albumin levels, hernia size, subcutaneous thickness, hernia defect area, surgical time and seroma incidence in the early, intermediary or late periods. The highest incidence of seromas detected by ultrasound was in the intermediary period (52.4%), although 33.4% were clinically detectable. There was no statistical difference among incidences of seroma in non period between the studied groups. Wound infection rate in nine patients was 21.4%. There was no statistical difference in wound infection between the studied groups. The results of univariate tests have shown that the presence of infection on the 30th postoperative day was not associated to the use of drain or progressive tension sutures. Conclusion: There was no significant difference in incidence of seromas, either detected clinically or by ultrasound, as well as in wound infection incidence between the groups using closed suction subcutaneous drains or progressive tension sutures, in patients undergoing large incisional hernia repair using onlay technique.
