While offering similar clinical benefits at 1 year, a medium-weight polypropylene mesh was no better for pain control than a heavy-weight mesh in patients who underwent open retromuscular ventral ...
Among patients undergoing incisional hernia repair, the use of mesh to reinforce the repair was associated with a lower risk of hernia recurrence over 5 years compared with when mesh was not used, ...
Not fixating the mesh in open retromuscular ventral hernia repair (RVHR) was noninferior to fixation, a single-center clinical trial found. Hernia recurrence rates at 1 year were similar between the ...
The type of Abdominal repair surgery chosen will depend on size, location and the accompanying complications of the Hernia. This is the surgery of choice for all irreducible or strangulated hernias.
Among patients undergoing incisional hernia repair, the use of mesh to reinforce the repair was associated with a lower risk of hernia recurrence over 5 years compared with when mesh was not used, ...
A randomized multi-centre trial comparing the cost-effectiveness of two surgical techniques for the repair of incisional hernias: laparoscopic vs. conventional open repair. The following patients will ...
Using surgical mesh instead of stitches alone when repairing abdominal hernias appears to reduce the chances the problem will return, a new study suggests. But mesh use is linked to other surgical ...
Laparoscopic incisional hernia repair is as effective as open repair, with similar recurrence rates, according to a multicenter randomized controlled trial of 194 patients. Hasan H. Eker, MD, a ...
