Study of the biomechanical response of a prosthetic mesh secured with penetrating and non-penetrating fixations in IPOM ventral hernia repair

ConclusionThis study demonstrated that a mesh glued to the peritoneum exhibited higher bulging and a behavior of the repair less stiff compared to when it was sutured to the myofascial structure of the AW, particularly for high intra-abdominal pressures. However, the impact of these differences remains to be evaluated over time. Further preclinical investigations are needed to quantify their impact post-operatively.
