Open mesh vs. suture umbilical hernia repair: systematic review and updated trial sequential meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

ConclusionsElective UH mesh repair seems to be associated with reduced risk of postoperative recurrence compared to simple suture repair with a statistically significant timely trend endorsed by the TSA. Definitive considerations concerning the cumulative effect for seroma, haematoma, and wound infection are premature. Further studies are warranted to endorse these results and deeply investigate the timely tendency variations.
