Prophylactic mesh augmentation in emergency laparotomy closure: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials with trial sequential analysis
ConclusionsMesh augmentation in emergency laparotomy decreases incisional hernia and fascial dehiscence incidence. Despite the risk of seroma, prophylactic mesh augmentation appears to be safe and might be considered for emergency laparotomy closure. Further studies evaluating long-term outcomes are still needed.

The enigma of incisional hernia prediction unraveled: external validation of a prognostic model in colorectal cancer patients
ConclusionThe hernia prediction model demonstrated moderate performance in the external validation. Its potential generalizability, specifically in those undergoing colorectal surgery, may suggest utility in identifying and managing high-risk hernia candidates. (Source: Hernia)

Component separation repair of incisional hernia: evolution of practice and review of long-term outcomes in a single center
ConclusionComponent separation repair techniques result in good long-term outcomes with acceptable complication rates. They can be performed simultaneously with gastrointestinal procedures with low morbidity. Appropriate patient selection and use of appropriate mesh are important. (Source: Hernia)

Strength of small-bites abdominal wall closure using different suturing methods and materials in an experimental animal model
ConclusionBased on tensile force, both interlocking and running suture techniques using polydioxanone, and running sutures using barbed polydioxanone or suturable mesh, seem to be suitable for abdominal wall closure. Tensile strength was significantly higher in infra-umbilical abdominal walls compared to supra-umbilical. Barbed glycolic acid and trimethylene carbonate should probably be discouraged for fascial closure, because of increased risk of suture failure. (Source: Hernia)
