Mesh Shrinkage Following Transfacial Suturing Versus Stapler for Mesh Fixation in Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repair: a Prospective, Randomised Blinded Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating mesh fixation by transfacial sutures and mesh fixation by staples for Ventral Hernia and Pain. Completed, enrolled 36 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Hernia of the abdominal wall occur frequently after various surgical procedures of the abdomen and are increasingly performed by laparoscopic means. Different mesh fixation techniques are applied, but the influence of mesh fixation on shrinkage is not known in human patients. Therefore, mesh shrinkage was assessed using two different techniques for fixation.
