Background: Dynamesh is a Polyvinylidene fluoride-coated polypropylene mesh. Its main use is for ventral hernia repairs as an on-lay mesh. The mesh was designed to have similar elasticity to the abdominal wall. It is reported to have good anti-adhesive properties while the large pores ensure rapid integration into the abdominal wall. A small series last year reported a high rate of complications with such a mesh. We have used this mesh with few anecdotal concerns and therefore present a more formal retrospective study of complications in our series.
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.
