Biological mesh in hernia repair
Conclusions
Parietex composite mesh demonstrated the best long-term results compared with all the other meshes. The biologic non-cross-linked mesh, Strattice, showed little adhesion formation and moderate shrinkage but poor incorporation. Biologic meshes are promising, but varying results require a more detailed investigation and demonstrate that biologic meshes are not necessarily superior to synthetic meshes. The signi cant changes that take place between 30 and 90 days should lead to careful interpretation of short- term experimental results.
