Comparative Study between Heavy-weight Mesh and Light-weight Mesh in Ventral Hernia Repair

Abstract: A ventral hernia occurs when the contents of a body cavity bulge out of the area where they are normally contained. These contents, usually portions of intestine or abdominal fatty tissue, are enclosed in the thin membrane that naturally lines the inside of the abdominal cavity (peritoneum) .This work aims to study and compare the outcome of using heavy-weight mesh and light-weight mesh in ventral hernia repair.: In our study, The number of patients was 120 which were divided randomly in repair using lightweig… Show more

“…However, a longer operative time was reported for LWM, while there was no considerable difference between the two groups in terms of chronic pain, postoperative complications, and recurrence after 6 months of follow-up. In contrast, RezK et al [43] have compared LWM and HWM for ventral hernia repair, obtaining better clinical outcomes for the LWM group. Specifically, LWM use reduced chronic pain and foreign body sensation, less frequent complications (i.e., seroma and infection), and lower recurrence rates.…”

“…The author proves that laparoscopic prosthetic ventral hernioplasty reduces the volume of the wound defect compared to the open method, is important in patients with comorbidities, and is safe, especially when the ePTFE mesh is used. Compared with conventional open hernioplasty, the laparoscopic technique can reduce the patient's hospitalization time, reduce the number of common postoperative complications as well as frequent complications (seroma development, infection), and facilitate a quicker return to routine activities [11,12]. The use of self-adhesive nets during laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal approach for small and medium ventral hernias is safe and effective, with low postoperative pain, rapid functional recovery, and high overall satisfaction after surgery without increasing recurrence in the short term [13].…”
