Overview
A comparison of ventral hernia repair with Strattice and Fortiva mesh.Primary The study team aims to determine the hernia recurrence rates for RTI Surgical biologic mesh (Fortiva) compared to Strattice. Also the study team aims to determine the mesh related complications for RTI Surgical biologic mesh (Fortiva) compared to Strattice
Description
This study will be a prospective, matched study of patients using Fortiva biologic mesh to determine the rates of hernia recurrence and mesh related complication compared to Strattice mesh. Patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be prospectively enrolled to receive a Ventral Hernia Repair (VHR) using Fortiva biologic mesh and will be compared to a retrospective cohort of patients with a VHR that utilized Strattice mesh. Patients will be propensity matched in a 1:3 (Fortiva : Strattice) fashion based on age, sex, and hernia defect size.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Ventral Hernia requiring surgical repair
