A Systematic Review Examining the Experimental Methodology Behind In Vivo Testing of Hiatus Hernia and Diaphragmatic Hernia Mesh
DiscussionIn vivo studies assessing mesh for HH and DH repair are uncommon. Within this relatively young field, we encourage surgical and materials testing institutions to discuss its standardisation. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery)

Events, care, and outcomes after hernia mesh explantation for infection
Mesh explantation for infection after hernia surgery sets a cascade of events that has not been previously described. The purpose of this study is to review the care of these patients and outcomes. (Source: American Journal of Surgery)

Fascial defect closure versus bridged repair in laparoscopic ventral hernia mesh repair: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
ConclusionsBoth techniques were detected to have equal safety profile and do not differ in risk of recurrence, seroma formation, risks of clinical or radiological eventration. Giving uncertainty and clinical equipoise, another RCT examining FDC vs no-FDC laparoscopic mesh repair separately for primary and secondary hernias using narrow inclusion criteria for hernia size on well-defined population would be ethical and pragmatic.Prospero registrationCRD42021274581.

A Pilot Study to Determine the Impact of Adipose Tissue Attachment to Polypropylene Fibers In Hernia Mesh
CONCLUSION: Adipose tissue attachment does occur in knitted and woven polypropylene hernia meshes. The presence of adipose tissue may contribute to an increase in oxidative changes in knitted polypropylene hernia mesh fibers.PMID:34352925 | DOI:10.52198/21.STI.39.HR1470 (Source: Surgical Technology International)

Short-Term Outcomes Following Removal of Infected Hernia Mesh
Am Surg. 2021 Jul 15:31348211024189. doi: 10.1177/00031348211024189. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere are limited studies regarding outcomes of replacing an infected mesh with another mesh. We reviewed short-term outcomes following infected mesh removal and whether placement of new mesh is associated with worse outcomes. Patients who underwent hernia repair with infected mesh removal were identified from 2005 to 2018 American College of Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. They were divided into new mesh (Mesh+) or no mesh (Mesh-) groups. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyse...
