Our analysis provided an overview of 5 biological meshes currently available on the market. The different types of meshes showed a marked statistical variability in the clinical outcomes. Hence, nearly all comparisons between different meshes in the two clinical end-points did not reach statistical significance. One exception was represented by the finding that cross-linked meshes had a significantly lower recurrence rate at 12 months than non-cross-linked meshes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
