“Long-term outcomes of ventral hernia repair using heavyweight non-woven polypropylene mesh”
Our early experience with Surgimesh WN indicates it is a safe and effective for VHR. NWP mesh is especially useful given the 50cmx50cm available for large VHRs. Long term follow-up in larger cohorts is needed to support these findings and explore potential advantages of NWP.
