“…First [8,49], by understanding the need to advocate placing more transabdominal sutures for these patients, and thus observing less mesh shrinkage with sutures, especially during the early phases of reliable mesh integration into the abdominal wall, and since their benefits outweigh the increased pain in the immediately post-op period [5,6,12,21,26,39,[49][50][51][52][53].…”

Our long series confirms the unexpected high rate of feasibility in the suturing concept or augmentation technique, and confers additional benefits to the conventional advantages of LIVHR in terms of reducing the overall morbidity, with a low rate of recurrences. Based on our experience and study, the current best indications for a successful LIVHR procedure should be tailored upon the limitations of the defect's width and proper patient selection, to restore adequately the optimal functionality of the abdominal muscles and provide better functional and cosmetic outcomes.

“…Closure of the fascia is an important factor in OVHR. Several studies have shown that failure to close fascia results in higher rates of hernia recurrence [17,18], though this may simply be a surrogate marker indicating the complexity of these cases. Whether the restoration of a functional abdominal wall has any relevant clinical impact is not clear.…”

“…Mesh reinforcement for VHR is a well established [16], and OVHR typically involves closure of the defect, which has been shown to decrease the risk of recurrence [17,18]. The addition of any of the various myofascial releases can decrease abdominal wall tension and aid in reapproximation of the defect.…”

“…46 Hernia recurrence rates following biologic mesh reinforcement vary widely with the current literature, supporting rates of 5%-66%. This variability may be attributed to surgical technique (bridging technique associated with higher recurrence rates independent of mesh product 47 ), location of mesh placement, patient characteristics, hernia size, surgical complexity, and length of follow-up with very few studies citing a mean follow-up time greater than 2 years.…”

Background: Mesh reinforcement significantly decreases rates of recurrence following ventral hernia repair. Historically, biologic mesh was touted as superior in the setting of infection; however, selecting the appropriate mesh for a given clinical scenario is often a matter of debate. The purpose of this review is to highlight a number of the more commonly used biologic mesh products with a review of outcomes from the current literature. Methods: Outcomes following abdominal wall reconstruction using biologic mesh were reviewed for acellular cadaveric human dermis, cross-linked porcine dermis, non-cross-linked porcine dermis, porcine small intestine submucosa, acellular bovine pericardial, and acellular bovine dermal mesh. Studies with rigorous methods, adequate patient samples, and sufficient follow-up were selected for review. Results: Hernia recurrence rates following biologic mesh reinforcement vary widely. Porcine small intestine submucosa and bovine pericardium were associated with the lowest hernia recurrence rates. Porcine cross-linked dermal mesh products resulted in higher rates of adhesion formation and lower rates of tissue incorporation compared to non-cross-linked porcine mesh. Conclusion: Successful ventral hernia repair can be achieved with acceptable complications rates for each of the reviewed mesh products. Biologic meshes have an advantage over synthetic mesh in contaminated wounds but their use may not be cost-effective in all patient populations. Those with and/or at high risk for wound complications may also undergo repair with biologic mesh.
