Abdominal wall hernia repair with a composite ePTFE/polypropylene mesh: clinical outcome and quality of life in 152 patients

Abstract

The intraperitoneal placement of this composite mesh is associated with a high level of patient satisfaction as well as low rates of both recurrence and infection.

Outcome of Mesh Anchoring Using Stainless Steel Skin Staples Versus Polypropylene Suturing in Lichtenstein’s Tension Free Inguinal Hernia Repair

“…These result are also observed in the study of Shaikh et al 16 Less postoperative pain helped in early recovery and return to work as observed in other studies. [17][18] This result was supported by Shaikh and his colleagues 16 This decrease in the postoperative pain helped in early recovery and return to work. 17,18 …”

A Patient-Centered Appraisal of Outcomes following Abdominal Wall Reconstruction

“…25,27 Open repairs with mesh were also associated with lower pain scores with activity and rest than preoperative pain scores. 26 An open suture repair versus open mesh repair did not show any difference in pain. 19 However, certain studies were inconsistent with such findings.…”

“…17,21 Overall long-term pain after hernia repair was rare, regardless of whether patients underwent component separation or subcutaneous mobilization of flaps. [13][14][15]18,20,23,25,26 Patients were more likely to report moderate to severe sensory pain if they developed a recurrent hernia. 21,26 Pain scores varied in differing circumstances when repair incorporated mesh.…”
