Summary

This trial is testing a new type of mesh made from synthetic material to repair complex ventral hernias. It aims to see if this new mesh works better than current options like synthetic polypropylene mesh or sutures. The mesh helps by supporting the abdominal wall, allowing it to heal and reducing the risk of the hernia coming back. Hybrid mesh products have been designed to address the need for a cost-effective mesh leveraging the tensile strength of a synthetic mesh while minimizing the prosthetic footprint within the abdominal wall through resorbable materials.
