Ventral hernia repair is frequently performed with one of a number of mesh products, usually with good results. The current emphasis on laparoscopic repair has resulted in multiple composite mesh products for use in the peritoneal cavity. The addition of a second layer of more inert material to the mesh is intended to prevent adhesions with the underlying viscera, and multiple studies demonstrate effectiveness in doing this. Despite this, occasional complications may still present. We present the case of a 65-year-old man coming to our clinic 5 years after a third ventral hernia repair/revision with composite mesh.

“…These modifications have led to various improvements in mesh-related complications, although long-term outcomes of their use are lacking, with very few comparative studies. Amid (2001) developed a helpful classification system to further characterize various permanent synthetic mesh materials. Table 2 summarizes this classification system with selected currently available permanent synthetic and composite mesh with associated characteristics.…”
