Overview

Retrospective analysis shows reduced recurrence in adults undergoing open ventral hernia repair with mesh, suggesting improved outcomes.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the long-term recurrence rates and safety of mesh use in emergency ventral hernia repair.
  • Retrospective cross-sectional study using Medicare claims data from 2011 to 2021.
  • Participants included adults aged 18 and older undergoing emergent ventral hernia repairs.
  • Analyzed outcomes include reoperation rates for recurrence and mesh explantation rates.
  • 10-year reoperation rate for recurrence after emergency ventral hernia repair was 16.3%.
  • Use of mesh in repair led to significantly lower 10-year recurrence rates at 13.0% compared to 18.9% without mesh.
  • Mesh explantation rates were similar regardless of enterectomy requirements.
