Long-term Follow-up of Incisional Hernia Repaired With Intraperitoneal Mesh

Randomized Study of Long-term Follow-up of Incisional Hernia Repaired With Intraperitoneal Mesh Versus On-lay Mesh Repair

• Status: Completed
• Phase: Phase 1
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 80 (actual)
• Sponsor: Cirujanos la Serena · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 35 Years – 75 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The intraperitoneal repair has been proven safe for the repair of incisional hernia and is accepted, together with the subfascial or retromuscular repair as the "gold-standard" for the repair of incisional hernia. However no studies have convincingly proven that this approach is better than the on-lay repair. The authors believe that the intraperitoneal repair performs better than the on-lay repair for incisional hernia.
