“…Gemici et al investigated the recurrence rate of full‐thickness mesh (Prolene a PPL prolene mesh) fixation in incisional hernia repair in a total of 154 subjects (107 females and 47 males). The mean age of patients was 52.6 years, the mean follow‐up time was 54 months (SD 22.8 months), and average operation times was 128 minutes.…”

“…Gemici et al and Droeser et al investigated the use of PPL prolene mesh in inguinal abdominal hernias. Gemici et al found that the implanted full‐thickness mesh enabled fibrous wound healing, which was suggested to prevent the migration of the mesh and reduced the occurrence of a hernia.…”

“…Gemici et al 21 Both studies support the use of PPL prolene mesh in midline abdominal hernias, which makes the results comparable; however, the long-term efficacy of the intervention is unclear, and therefore, further studies with a longer followup period would be useful to determine the long-term outcomes.…”

“…The advantages of this technique are that it is simple to administer, and forms can be mailed to patients, increasing the response rate; however, it is common for a patient to miss items from the questionnaire and thus have incomplete results, and some items have been questioned for their relevance to elderly populations. 20 Gemici et al 21 investigated the recurrence rate of fullthickness mesh (Prolene a PPL prolene mesh) fixation in incisional hernia repair in a total of 154 subjects (107 females and 47 males). The mean age of patients was 52.6 years, the mean follow-up time was 54 months (SD 22.8 months), and average operation times was 128 minutes.…”

“…A common factor across the studies in this review was a female preponderance for mesh failure. 21,26,28 Existing epidemiological data for England indicate that more women have bariatric surgery, 22 which could explain the higher ratio of females requiring more elective hernia repair. It would be interesting to examine this aspect in subsequent studies to determine if female gender presents a specific risk factor.…”

Following abdominal wall surgery, incisions are commonly sutured, stapled, or glued together by primary intention. Developments within the field of tissue engineering have led to the use of prosthetic meshes, with over 20 million meshes implanted each year worldwide. The function of the mesh is to hold together abdominal wall incisions and repair abdominal hernias. This has been demonstrated to be highly effective in some individuals; however, some patients have experienced postoperative complications, including dehiscence with further abdominal herniation (viscera protruding through the abdominal wall). Little is currently known about why these complications occur in a subset of patients who have had prosthetic mesh implants in abdominal wall repairs; therefore, this literature review examined existing studies identified via six electronic databases. A total of 463 studies were identified, of which 13 were included in this review. The results identified that the prosthetic mesh is highly successful in a large proportion of patients who have had a had a hernia repair in a range of locations; however, the prosthetic mesh has long-term complications, with rejection being observed in a subset of patients. The reason why the prosthetic is being rejected is still largely unknown, and therefore, further investigation needs to be carried out.
