Slowly resorbable biosynthetic mesh: 2-year results in VHWG grade 3 hernia repair

ConclusionAfter 2  years of follow-up, hernia repair with biosynthetic mesh shows manageable SSO rates and favorable recurrence rates in VHWG grade 3 patients. No statistically significant improvement in quality of life or reduction of pain was observed. Few patients report lasting presence of mesh sensation. Result s of biosynthetic mesh after longer periods of follow-up on recurrences and remodeling will provide further valuable information to make clear recommendations.Trial registrationRegistered on clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02720042), March 25, 2016.
