Long-term Follow-up of Incisional Hernia Repaired With Intraperitoneal Mesh
- Conditions
- Incisional Hernia
- Interventions
- Device: Implant of a prosthetic mesh
- Registration Number
- NCT00891254
- Lead Sponsor
- Cirujanos la Serena
- Brief 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.
