Comparing Short-Term Outcomes of Ventral Hernia Repair Using Heavyweight Non-Woven Polypropylene Mesh With Heavyweight Knitted Polypropylene Mesh
Retromuscular hernia repaired with non-woven polypropylene mesh showed no difference in readmission, reoperation, hernia recurrence, and overall SSI, SSO, and SSOPI when compared with knitted polypropylene. There were significantly more deep SSIs in the NWP group; however, in all cases, the mesh was salvaged with local wound care, and all patients made a complete recovery. In the short term, the use of NWP mesh appears to be safe, with outcomes comparable to KP mesh.
