Use of a bioabsorbable mesh in midline laparotomy closure to prevent incisional hernia: randomized controlled trial

ConclusionThe bioabsorbable mesh significantly prevented IH during the first year. Not reliable conclusions can be drawn across the second year. This may suggest that the any of the closing technique assessed in this study would have a “palliative” transient effect for preventing IH in the long-term.
