Prophylactic mesh placement for prevention of incisional hernia after open bariatric surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Am J Surg 2016; 212: 615–622.
Published: 2nd February 2017
Authors: Dasari M, Wessel CB, Hamad GG
Conclusion
Seven studies were included. Use of mesh reduced the risk of incisional hernia (odds ratio 0.3, 95 per cent confidence interval 0.13 to 0.68, P=0.004), without increasing the risk of infection, seroma or wound leakage.
