Using prophylactic preperitoneal Prolene mesh during wound closure in open bariatric surgery is safe and effective in preventing incisional hernia development.
The preperitoneal mesh placement during the repair of paraumbilical hernias is superior to the preaponeurotic placement, because it is associated with fewer complications, less pain and a shorter time of return to normal daily activities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
