This prospective, multi-institutional study evaluating P4HB mesh for ventral #hernia repair over a 5-year period provides a framework for long-term anticipated outcomes of absorbable mesh use, which is essential due to increased synthetic mesh scrutiny.

Interesting paper. Some important findings in the subanalyses - technique matters. Both longitudinal and lateral overlap are important. Need at least 5cm in all directions (10cm total). Onlay had worse outcomes, but confounded by having less overlap than retromuscular.
