Letter Regarding: “Mesh Type With Ventral Hernia Repair: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Trials”
We read the article by Siddiqui et al. titled “Mesh Type With Ventral Hernia Repair: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Trials” published in the Journal of Surgical Research with great interest.1 The authors performed a meta-analysis to compare the outcomes of biologic versus synthetic meshes for ventral hernia repair. Their analysis included four randomized controlled trials with a total of 758 patients, demonstrating significantly higher rates of major complications, hernia recurrence, and surgical site occurrences with the use of biological mesh than with synthetic mesh.

Reasons for conversions in thoracoscopic repairs of neonatal congenital diaphragmatic hernias: a systematic review
ConclusionsNeonatal thoracoscopic repair for CDH is associated with conversion in 20% of cases. Based on available data, defect size and patch repairs have been identified as the predominant reasons, followed by technical difficulties to reduce the herniated organs and ventilation related issues. However, data specifically relating to conversion is poorly documented in a high number of reports (40%). Accurate data reporting in future will be important to better estimate and quantify reasons for conversions in neonatal thoracoscopy for CDH. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Clinical outcomes of triclosan-coated barbed suture in open hernia repair: a retrospective cohort study
ConclusionsThis study showed that patients who underwent open hernia repair appeared to recover equally well regardless of the suture type. In addition, the use of barbed TCS was associated with significantly reduced risk of perioperative complications and hospital length of stay. (Source: Hernia)
