This study compares short term outcomes of patients undergoing a hernia repair with heavy weight mesh vs medium weight mesh in clean-contaminated and contaminated cases.
The Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative was queried for patients undergoing open retromuscular hernia repairs with both heavy weight polypropylene (PP) mesh and medium weight PP mesh in cases where there was clean-contaminated and contaminated surgeries. The short term outcomes were then evaluated including wound infections, readmissions, recurrences of the hernia, and quality of life scores.
