Long-term patient-reported outcomes and quality of the evidence in ventral hernia mesh repair: a systematic review
ConclusionThis analysis suggested that a minor subset of PROMs improved in patients undergoing large-sized incisional and medium-sized parastomal hernia repair. High-quality studies are imperative in this extremely often conducted surgical procedure.Trial registrationThe review was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42018096671,https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/display_record.php?RecordID=96671).

In-vivo evaluation of a reinforced ovine biologic: a comparative study to available hernia mesh repair materials
ConclusionsThe current study shows a favorable response to reinforced biologics, which were associated with an initial inflammatory response, resolving by later time points, followed by active remodeling, and the formation of new morphologically functional collagen. (Source: Hernia)

Closure of the fascial defect during laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair: a randomized clinical trial.
CONCLUSION: Closure of the fascial defect in laparoscopic umbilical hernia IPOM repair significantly reduced early seroma formation and long-term recurrence without inducing side-effects such as pain, or other early or late PROMs. Registration number: NCT01962480 ( https://www.clinicaltrials.gov).

Incisional hernia repair in a high-fidelity silicone model for open retro-muscular mesh implantation with preparation of the fatty triangle: validation and educational impact study
ConclusionsThe model covers all relevant aspects involved in median-open retromuscular incisional hernia mesh repair. Performance differences between beginners and experts confirm construct-validity and thereby realism of the model. It enables to efficiently improve and practice technical skills of the demanding surgery. (Source: Hernia)

Recurrence of infection and hernia following partial versus complete removal of infected hernia mesh: a systematic review and cohort meta-analysis
ConclusionsThis meta-analysis found significantly increased rates of infection recurrence in patients undergoing partial removal of infected hernia mesh as compared to complete removal. Complete removal of infected hernia mesh may be associated with increased rates of hernia recurrence. Further longitudinal observational studies are needed to confirm these findings. (Source: Hernia)

Do we really need three-dimensional convex inguinal hernia meshes?
ConclusionsFor about one-third of patients a commonly used flat hernia mesh is adequate, for the rest of the cases one of 3 convex-shape meshes is sufficient. (Source: Hernia)

Different etiopathogeneses in early-onset and late-onset inguinal hernia mesh infections in a prospectively evaluated cohort.
CONCLUSIONS: Early-onset hernia mesh infection is mostly caused by St.aureus through exogenous contamination, whereas its late-onset counterpart might be a result of hematogenous or contact spread of intestinal flora.

Biofilms and effective porosity of hernia mesh: are they silent assassins?
ConclusionsWe discuss the two concepts of effective porosity and biofilm and propose potential measures to reduce mesh-related complications. This includes choosing mesh with superior mesh construct and technical nuances in implanting mesh to improve effective porosity. Furthermore, measures to reduce bacterial biofilm and its consequences are suggested. (Source: Hernia)

Effect of direct defect closure during laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair ( “TEP/TAPP plus” technique) on post-operative outcomes
ConclusionDirect defect closure has proven to be effective in reducing recurrence and seroma formation post-operatively in patients undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Randomized controlled trials will be required to further evaluate these outcomes. (Source: Hernia)

[Preperitoneal Umbilical Hernia Mesh Plasty (PUMP): Indications, Technique and Results].
CONCLUSION: Surgeons must work with the implant that best suits their patients' needs and that also provides good results and adequate working comfort. The PUMP technique performs well for ventral hernias sized between 2 and 4 cm without the need of midline reconstruction due to diastasis of the rectus muscles. It enables a local extraperitoneal mesh augmentation without the risk of intraperitoneal complications. PUMP repair lowers the risk of recurrence in comparison with suture repair without increasing the risk of complications.

Transabdominal supra-diaphragmatic self-attached mesh for recurrent type IV diaphragmatic hernia on emergency setting: Case report
ConclusionsTransabdominal supradiaphragmatic self-attached mesh for recurrent diaphragmatic hernia can be considered to be an alternative treatment for recurrent diaphragmatic hernia in an emergency setting because this procedure is relatively easier, safer, causes fewer postoperative complications, and can prevent recurrence.
