Lessons learnt from the construction and implementation of a prospective ventral hernia database
ConclusionRegistry compliance was low and highly variable. Lack of interest, incentives, oversight, and surgeon turnover are possible factors for noncompliance. Building a registry with these factors in mind, providing timely feedback, and conducting frequent audits may improve compliance. (Source: Hernia)

Mesh vs. non-mesh repair of type I hiatal hernias: a propensity-score matching analysis of 6533 patients from the Herniamed registry
ConclusionsOur data demonstrate that mesh-reinforced laparoscopic type I hiatal hernia repair in larger defects is associated with significantly lower rates for recurrence, pain on exertion and pain requiring treatment. (Source: Hernia)

Does crural repair with biosynthetic mesh improve outcomes of revisional surgery for recurrent hiatal hernia?
ConclusionsLaparoscopic revisional surgery for recurrent HH is safe and effective. Selective use of biosynthetic mesh may protect from early recurrence and has the potential to reduce re-herniation in the long-term. (Source: Hernia)

A comparison of patient-reported outcomes in patients undergoing abdominal wall repair with either synthetic or biosynthetic mesh: a pilot study
ConclusionAfter VIHR, patients have low CCS scores, indicating good quality of life outcomes, in the short to medium term irrespective of the mesh used. However, biosynthetic mesh had lower CCS scores in the medium term. This may help surgeons and patients make better informed decisions about which mesh to use in their individual circumstances.

Revisiting large complex ventral hernia repair: multimodal hybrid technique deploying preoperative Botulinum Toxin A injection, laparoscopic anterior components separation and open mesh repair
We describe here our multimodal technique combining BTA injection, laparoscopic anterior components separation (LACS) and open mesh repair. Ten consecutive cases performed over 3 years were studied. A standardised technique was used with a reasonably short learning curve. Patients who generally fit for general anaesthesia were offered surgery after detailed preoperative imaging work up and informed consent. Demographic details, preoperative risk stratification, intraoperat ive and postoperative outcomes were recorded and analysed. A structured step by step management strategy was adopted. Total ten (n = 10) cases wit...

Open transversus abdominis release in incisional hernia repair: technical limits and solutions
AbstractIntroductionIncisional hernias with a defect width of more than10 cm are considered complex. The European Hernia Society guidelines recommend that such hernias should only be repaired by surgeons with experience of component separation. The standard component separation technique now is posterior component separation with transversus abdominis release (PCSTAR). Questions are raised about the limits of this technique.MethodsA literature search of publications on PCSTAR was performed for any references to the limits of this technique in open incisional hernia repair. We found 26 publications relevant to answer this...

A Personalized Evolution in Hernia Care
The seminal article by Luijendijk et al from 2000 on hernia repair noted a 3-year cumulative recurrence rate following hernia repair of 46% without mesh and 23% with mesh. The Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative (ACHQC; formerly the Americas Hernia Society Quality Collaborative), born in 2012 in hopes of providing deeper insight into the true long-term outcomes, collects prospective data from surgeons across a variety of variables and is beginning to bear fruit of the labor of surgeons whose interest in hernia repair reaches far enough to participate in data collection. The collaborative uniquely uses patient-repor...
