Interim analysis of single – centre randomised controlled trial on incisional hernia repair with vs without synthetic mesh fixation

No mesh fixation on "sublay" hernia repair does not worsen the patient's postoperative condition. It does not increase postoperative pain, worsen the quality of life, or increase the risk of postoperative complications. On the 10th postoperative day, the non-fixed mesh group had less postoperative pain, however, later the pain was equal. A lower number of seromas was also observed in this group after 6 months. However, the operative time in the group without mesh fixation was significantly shorter.
