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 …

Importance Biologic mesh is widely used for reinforcing contaminated ventral hernia repairs;
however, it is expensive and has been associated with high rates of long-term hernia …

Background Controversy remains about appropriate mesh selection during ventral hernia
repair (VHR) in a contaminated field. Fear of mesh infection has led to increased use of …

Background: Many surgeons utilize biologic mesh for elective complex ventral hernia repair
(VHR; large hernias, contaminated fields, or patients with comorbid conditions). However, no …

Background Repair of grade 3 and grade 4 ventral hernias is a distinct challenge, given the
potential for infection, and the comorbid nature of the patient population. This study …

Background The current standard of treatment for most ventral hernias is a mesh-based
repair. Little is known about the safety and efficacy of biologic versus nonbiologic grafts. A …

Purpose The use of mesh is a common practice in ventral hernia repair (VHR). Lack of
consensus on which prosthetic material works better in different settings remains. This meta …

Purpose We used an evidence-based approach to determine whether the promotions and
claims of superiority of biologic mesh over synthetic mesh use in ventral hernia repairs …

Background Biologic mesh choice in ventral hernia repair is challenging due to lack of
prospective data. This study examines long-term, single-center biologic mesh outcomes …

Background Contaminated operative fields pose significant challenges for surgeons
performing ventral hernia repair. Although biologic meshes have been utilized increasingly …
