- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The primary outcome measure is the possible advantage of a biological mesh compared to the synthetic mesh, expressed in recurrence, morbidity, durability of the mesh (measured in the time passed postoperatively) and postoperative complications (measured in sepsis, reoperation and fistulation).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The secondary outcome measure is the cost analysis of the biological mesh compared to the synthetic mesh determined in comparison with the case-matched control group.
