Event Description
|
It was reported in a journal article with title: comparative study of biological versus synthetic prostheses in the treatment of ventral hernias classified as grade ii/iii by the ventral hernia working group.The objective of this study was to compare the postoperative results after implantation of a biological versus synthetic prosthesis during ventral hernia repair inpatients at risk of septic complication (vhwg grade ii and iii).This is a retrospective, monocentric, comparative cohort study, based on the type of prosthesis implanted (biological or synthetic) during ventral hernia repair at the two digestive surgery departments of the university hospital of (b)(6) between january 1, 2010 and december 31,2017.119 patients met the inclusion criteria were analysed.For these patients, 59 patients received a biological prosthesis (pbio group) and 60 patients received a synthetic prosthesis (psyn group).Patients who were treated with a biological prosthesis (pbio group) or synthetic (psyn group) were compared.Synthetic prosthesis were used in this study (prolene (ethicon), physiomesh (ethicon) and proceed (ethicon).Reported complications included hematoma (n=4), seroma (n=4), evisceration (n=2), surgical site infection (n=4), superficial infection (n=1), deep abscess(n=3), surgical re-intervention (n=3), removal of prosthesis (n=1), clavien dindo 1-2 (n=11), clavien dindo 3-4(n=4), recurrent ventral hernia (n=17).In conclusion in this retrospective study, the use of a bioprosthesis for repair of vhwg ii/iii ventral hernias was associated with a higher rate of both ssi and hernia recurrence at a cost 13 times greater than the use of a synthetic prosthesis.
