Which Mesh is Best? Outcomes for Abdominal Ventral Hernia Repair Patients Projected by New Research Model

Repair of ventral hernias -- hernias of the abdominal wall -- is among the most commonly performed operations, but not all meshes used in these procedures are created equal, with varying outcomes and costs for each option, according to researchers from the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. The researchers developed a new model to project the performance of different mesh types for patients undergoing ventral hernia repair (VHR). Their findings are published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons (JACS).
