Background: Poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB) is a fully resorbable, biologically-produced
polymer with a strength and flexibility comparable to permanent synthetic polymers. The …

Purpose Selection of an appropriate mesh reinforcement for hernia repair in contaminated
fields is a significant problem for surgeons. To date the proper mesh for contaminated fields …

Purpose Ventral hernia repair (VHR) can be augmented with biosynthetic poly-4-
hydroxybutryate mesh (P4HB). Long-term outcomes, including quality of life outcomes, after …

Purpose/background Despite the growing use of bioabsorbable mesh in ventral hernia
repairs (VHR), the evidence of its impact on patient outcomes remains limited. This study …

Results Fifty-five patients were included with a mean age of 54.5 years, a body mass index
of 34 kg/m 2, and a defect size of 356.9±227.7 cm 2. Median follow-up time was 49 months …

Background: Incisional hernia (IH) after abdominal surgery is a frequent surgical
complication. Risk factors associated with IH are midline incisions, patients with an …

Objective: To assess the 5-year recurrence rate of incisional hernia repair in Ventral Hernia
Working Group (VHWG) 3 hernia with a slowly resorbable mesh. Summary Background …

Purpose Hernia recurrence is a primary metric in evaluating the success of ventral hernia
repair (VHR). Current screening methods for hernia recurrence, including the validated …
