Biological meshes for abdominal hernia: Lack of evidence-based recommendations for clinical use
International Journal of Surgery(2018)
Abstract
•In abdominal hernia repair, no sound criteria have been established to support the use of biological meshes.•In our study, 11 trials (employing 5 biological meshes) were selected; surgical site infection and recurrence were evaluated.•Both end-points showed a wide between-study variability; a lower rate of recurrence was found for a specific product.•The current evidence does not permit to identify a place in therapy for biological meshes in abdominal hernia repair.
