TLDR
Despite the high rate of wound morbidity associated with single-staged reconstruction of contaminated fields, it can safely be performed with biologic mesh reinforcement, and the long-term durability seems to be less favorable.
Abstract
Objective:Our objective was to evaluate the safety and durability of biologic mesh for single-staged reconstruction of contaminated fields.Introduction:The presence of contamination during ventral hernia repair (VHR) poses a significant challenge. Some advocate for a multistaged reconstructive appro

Outcomes of Synthetic Mesh in Contaminated Ventral Hernia Repairs

TL;DR: Although perhaps not yet considered standard of care in the United States, this work has demonstrated favorable infection, recurrence, and mesh removal rates associated with the use of synthetic mesh in contaminated VHR.

Naturally derived and synthetic scaffolds for skeletal muscle reconstruction.

TL;DR: Advances in scaffolds using muscle tissue engineering are reviewed and next generation naturally derived/synthetic "hybrid materials" would combine the advantageous properties of these materials to create an optimal platform for cell/drug delivery and possess inherent bioactive properties.

2018 WSES/SIS-E consensus conference: recommendations for the management of skin and soft-tissue infections

TL;DR: A task force of experts met in Bertinoro, Italy, on June 28, 2018, for a specialist multidisciplinary consensus conference under the auspices of the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) and the Surgical Infection Society Europe (SIS-E).

Comparative analysis of biologic versus synthetic mesh outcomes in contaminated hernia repairs

TL;DR: Using synthetic sublay mesh resulted in a significantly lower wound morbidity and more durable outcomes versus a similar cohort of biologic repairs, likely secondary to improved bacterial clearance and faster integration of macroporous synthetics.

A Comparison of Suture Repair with Mesh Repair for Incisional Hernia

TL;DR: Among patients with midline abdominal incisional hernias, mesh repair is superior to suture repair with regard to the recurrence of hernia, regardless of the size of the hernia.

“Components Separation” Method for Closure of Abdominal-Wall Defects: An Anatomic and Clinical Study

TL;DR: It is suggested that large abdominal- wall defects can be reconstructed with functional transfer of abdominal-wall components without the need for resorting to distant transposition of free-muscle flaps.

Staged Management of Giant Abdominal Wall Defects: Acute and Long-Term Results

TL;DR: The staged management of patients with giant abdominal wall defects without the use of permanent mesh results in a safe and consistent approach for both initial and definitive management with low morbidity and no technique-related mortality.

Planned ventral hernia. Staged management for acute abdominal wall defects

TL;DR: This staged approach was associated with low morbidity and no technique-related mortality, absorbable mesh provided the advantages of reasonable durability, ease of removal, and relatively low cost, and the modified components separation technique of reconstruction provided good results in patients with moderate sized defects.

Use of Acellular Dermal Matrix for Complicated Ventral Hernia Repair: Does Technique Affect Outcomes?

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the method in which AlloDerm is used in abdominal wall reconstruction has a significant impact on recurrence rates and should be used only as a reinforcement after primary fascial reappoximation.
