Prophylactic, synthetic intraperitoneal mesh vs no mesh implantation in patients with fascial dehiscence
Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery Jul 26, 2018
Jakob MO, et al. - Researchers performed a comparison of outcomes of implantation of non-absorbable intra-abdominal meshes with primary closure of facial dehiscence (FD) in this retrospective study. Subgroup analysis was performed to assess the outcomes of different mesh materials. They analyzed a total of 119 consecutive patients with FD who were operated (70 mesh group and 49 no mesh group) between 2001 and 2015. Findings revealed a decrease in an incisional hernia with a low rate of mesh-related morbidity in relation with implantation of a polypropylene but not with polyester-based mesh in patients with FD.
