Quantifying fascial tension in ventral hernia repair and component separation

A. S. Levy et al.

Summary: Excessive fascial tension is a major cause of ventral hernia recurrence. A technique for intra-operative measurement of fascial closing tension was demonstrated, showing a significant decrease in tension following Component Separation. The method proved to be accurate, simple, and reproducible, providing critical data for intraoperative decision-making.

Synthetic Versus Biological Mesh in Laparoscopic and Open Ventral Hernia Repair (LAPSIS) Results of a Multinational, Randomized, Controlled, and Double-blind Trial

Marc Miserez et al.

Summary: The study found that biological mesh used in repair of ventral hernias with diameters of 4-10 cm resulted in more postoperative complications compared to synthetic mesh. The trial was prematurely stopped due to an unacceptable high recurrence rate in the biological mesh arms.
