Does anyone know of any updates re:hybrid meshes (e.g. Ovitex, Synecor, etc) with regard to hernia recurrence, QOL, etc.
Due to the recent innovation of these hybrid meshes, published data is scarce (link to a 2021 Synecor study below, with a paywall), but promising. Comments from hernia surgeons are appreciated as well.
I’m facing a recurrent ventral hernia repair, but hybrid mesh performance in other populations would also be appreciated.
