The Operative Word Looks at Mesh for Ventral Hernia Repair in Contaminated Fields

In this episode, host Dante D. Yeh, MD, FACS, is joined by Flavio Malcher, MD, MSc, from the department of surgery at New York University. They discuss his study that validates the findings of recent randomized controlled trials in a larger multicenter cohort, suggesting that permanent mesh is the ideal prosthetic to enhance ventral hernia repair even in contaminated fields, which challenges a longstanding surgical dogma.
