Pure tissue repair + bio mesh?
I just stumbled on this article
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31111323
I am wondering which technique was used for the pure tissue repair (always the same?)…
It struck me as one study with a follow up of up to 10 years…Any thoughts?

Ah thanks I did not read through enough:)

That is a poorly done study. They, apparently, had the intention of showing that the “biomesh” would not cause any problems. But they did not compare the use of the BM to any patients without it. No control group. It looks like a typical “this is possible” paper that will be used to justify using BM, whether it has a benefit or not. It’s just bad science.
The “pure tissure” repair that they used is “continuous suture of transversalis to transversalis fascia”. I’m not sure what name that method falls under, but that’s the “pure tissue” part of the repair.
“underwent 104 IH repair with a continuous suture of transversalis to transversalis fascia repair reinforced with BM of porcine intestinal submucosal origin (Surgisis, Cook) ”
