Efficacy and safety of mesh non-fixation in patients undergoing laparo-…
Another interesting paper. If I read the numbers right it seems to show a 4.1 or 8.5 % chronic pain rate for laparoscopic mesh repair, depending on non-fixation or fixation. Oddly (or not) the Conclusion does not state the difference, even though it’s double. Maybe because of the Moderate “Certainty of the evidence”. I know little about statistics.

<b data-test=”abstract-sub-heading”>”Conclusions
Mesh nonfixation improves the return to daily life without increasing the risk of hernia recurrence or chronic pain. Surgeons and patients may discuss mesh nonfixation options to accommodate a patient’s desired return to daily life. Further trials focusing on TAPP are required to confirm these findings.”
This one is open access.

Mine was done without fixation about a month ago so that’s good to see.
