Long‐Term Outcomes After Slowly Resorbable P4HB Mesh Implantation: A Multicenter Analysis From European Registry
P4HB mesh demonstrated a favorable long-term safety profile after complete resorption, with low rates of mesh-related complications, even in high-risk patients. Hernia recurrence remains an important secondary outcome and is strongly influenced by patient risk factors and surgical technique. These findings support a tailored, risk-stratified approach to the use of biosynthetic meshes in IH repair.
