Abstract

In the guidelines [1] for laparoscopic ventral hernia repair of the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES), no recommendation can be made about a specific prosthetic, since there are few data available directly comparing the long-term outcomes of different prosthetics in humans [1]. Selection of the prosthetics is typically based on surgeon’s experience, intraoperative handling characteristics, and the purported features associated with the prosthetic [1]. Post-market, continuous evaluation in terms of patient-centered outcomes of all prosthetics is needed [1].
