“…Five studies reported fascial closure in 89.3% ( n = 626) of the patients. The fascial closure rate ranged from 40 to 100% in the included studies [8, 9, 16, 18, 19]. Five studies reported on component separation, with a component separation technique performed in 52.2% of patients ( n = 283) [8, 15, 17–19].…”

“…The mean BMI of the included patients was relatively high, from 26.9 (standard deviation, SD:5.7) to 38.6 (SD:9.6). Four studies were randomized controlled trials [8][9][10]18] while the remaining six were retrospective [13][14][15][16][17]19]. Nine studies reported the wound class in detail, and 30.1% of the patients had clean wounds (n = 346).…”

“…Five studies reported the location of the mesh [13,14,[17][18][19], and the majority of the mesh position were retro muscular (n = 357, 70.6%), followed by preperitoneal (n = 106, 20.9%). The surgical approach was open in six studies [8,9,[16][17][18][19], one study used both open and laparoscopic surgical techniques [10], and three studies did not report this. Overall, there was considerable variation in fascial closure rates across studies, as well as in component separation rates.…”

“…The results of the ROBINS-I and ROB2 showed that most of the included studies were of moderate quality [9,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Common sources of bias for non-RCTs included the selection of participants and missing data.…”

“…Finally, we identified 10 studies with 1305 patients based on the previously established inclusion and exclusion criteria (Fig. 1) [8][9][10][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. The one of the most common reason for exclusion was that the studies had an apparent difference at baseline between the biological and synthetic mesh groups.…”

Aim To compare the efficacy and safety of synthetic and biological meshes in ventral hernia repair (VHR) and abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR). Methods We screened all clinical trials that reported the application of synthetic and biological meshes in VHR and AWR using Medline, Web of Science, and Embase (Ovid). Only comparative studies with similar baselines such as age, sex, body mass index, degree of wound contamination, and hernia defects between the intervention and control groups were included. Effect sizes with 95% confidence were pooled using a random-or fixed-effects model based on the size of heterogeneity. A sensitivity analysis was performed to test the stability of the results. Results Ten studies with 1305 participants were included. Biological meshes were associated with significantly higher recurrence rate (OR, 2.09; 95% CI 1.42-3.08; I 2 = 50%), surgical site infection (OR, 1.47; 95% CI 1.10-1.97; I 2 = 30%), higher re-admission rate (OR, 1.51; 95% CI 1.05-2.17; I 2 = 50%), and longer length of hospital stay (SMD, 0.37; 95% CI 0.10-0.65; I 2 = 72%). Similar surgical site occurrence, re-operation rate, and mesh explantation rate were observed among biological and synthetic meshes. Biological meshes have no difference in recurrence rate as compared to synthetic meshes, between the clean-contaminated, and contamination-infected fields (OR, 1.41; 95% CI 0.41-4.87 vs 3.00; 95% CI 1.07-8.46; P = 0.36). Conclusion Synthetic meshes are a safe alternative to biological meshes for VHR and AWR. Considering the high cost of biological meshes, synthetic meshes are more appropriate for the VHR and AWR.

Background While many studies evaluated outcomes of abdominal wall reconstruction with biologic mesh, longterm data is lacking. In this study, we sought to analyze the outcomes of complex AWR with biologic mesh in a robust cohort of patients with a mean follow up of 8 years. Methods We conducted a longitudinal study of AWR patients from 2005 to 2019. Hernia recurrence was the primary outcome, and surgical site occurrence was the secondary outcome. Predictive/protective factors were identified using a Cox proportional hazards regression models. Results We identified 109 consecutive patients who met the inclusion criteria. Patient's mean (± SD) age was 57.5 ± 11.8 years, mean body mass index was 30.7 ± 7.2 kg/m 2 , and mean follow-up time was 96.2 ± 15.9 months. Fifty-six percent had clean defects, 34% had clean-contaminated defects, and 10% had contaminated/infected defects. Patients had a mean defect size of 261 ± 199.6 cm 2 and mean mesh size of 391.3 ± 160.2 cm 2 . Nineteen patients (17.4%) developed HR at the final follow-up date. Obesity was independently associated with a four-fold higher risk of HR (hazard ratio, 3.98; 95%CI, 1.34 to 14.60, p = 0.02). SSOs were identified in 24.8% of patients. A prior hernia repair was associated with a three-fold higher risk of SSOs (Odds ratio, 3.13; 95%CI, 1.10 to 8.94, p = 0.03). No patient developed mesh infection. Conclusion These longitudinal data demonstrate that complex AWR with biologic mesh provides long-term durable outcomes with acceptable HR and SSO rates despite high contamination levels, patients complexity, and large defect size.
