A Biomechanical Analysis of Prophylactic Mesh Reinforced Porcine Laparotomy Incisions. [PDF]

J Surg Res, 2022
Research indicates that prophylactic mesh may help prevent incisional hernia after laparotomy, but best practice patterns in these situations are still evolving. Here, we compare the failure loads (FLs) and biomechanical stiffness (BMS) of 35 porcine abdominal wall laparotomy incisions reinforced with meshes of various widths and fixation distances ...
