A new semiresorbable mesh for primary inguinal repair: a preliminary observational study on quality of life and safety.
Abstract
A currently unsolved problem of open inguinal hernia repair (IHR) is chronic postoperative inguinal pain (CPIP), which affects 10-12% of patients after IHR. In the present paper, we explored the results of a newly designed partially absorbable mesh made of polypropylene and polylactic acid (HybridMesh) for open hernia repair and its impact on postoperative safety, efficacy, comfort and pain.
