Background It is unclear whether a history of surgical site infection is associated with
developing a new infection after subsequent operations. We aim to investigate the impact of …

Introduction The long-term recurrence rate of ventral hernia repair is 20–50%, with a higher
rate of recurrence in cases that do not use mesh. Previous teachings have cautioned against …

Introduction Open tension-free hernioplasty using prosthetic meshes dramatically reduced
recurrence rates after hernia or incisional hernia repair and has become the rule. Mesh …

Background Patients undergoing ventral hernia repair (VHR) with biologic mesh (BioM)
have higher hospital costs compared with synthetic mesh (SynM). This study compares 90-d …

Introduction The incidence of deep infection using a synthetic mesh in inguinal hernia repair
is low and reported to be well below 1%. This is in contrast to incisional hernia surgery …

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate which mesh type yields lower recurrence
and complication rates after ventral hernia repair. Summary Background Data: More than …

Aim The aim of this paper was to provide a narrative review of surgical site infection after
hernia surgery and the influence of perioperative preventative interventions. Methods The …

Objective To evaluate the impact of mesh use on outcomes following ventral hernia repairs
and simultaneous bowel resection. Design Retrospective review. Setting Teaching …

Objective: To analyze and compare postoperative occurrences following ventral hernia
repairs (VHRs) using mesh in clean-contaminated and contaminated wounds. Background …

Background Despite 100,000 ventral hernia repairs (VHR) being performed annually, no
gold standard for the technique exists. Mesh has been shown to decrease recurrence rates …
