Quality of life and surgical outcomes of robotic retromuscular ventral hernia repair using a new hybrid mesh reinforcement

Comparison of Hybrid Versus Synthetic Mesh in Robotic Rives-Stoppa Ventral Hernia Repair

“…On the other hand, hybrid meshes have offered low recurrence rates with an excellent safety profile in high-risk patients. 8 , 9 , 21 Therefore, this study focused on evaluating the clinical outcomes of hybrid material in contrast to synthetic meshes in patients undergoing rRS VHR.…”

“… 9 This finding was consolidated by a study we have previously published, where no recurrence, nor surgical site infections were noted. 8 …”

“…Gore & Associates Inc., Newark, DE, USA) (Synecor TM Pre), a biosynthetic mesh, has been suggested to provide favorable midterm outcomes in high-risk patients. 8 , 9 It is composed of three layers: a monofilament polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) layer inserted between two bioabsorbable layers.…”
