Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair using a composite mesh with polypropylene and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene: a prospective, multicentre registry.

Background: Abdominal wall hernias are a common problem. Composite meshes placed intraperitoneally for abdominal wall hernia repair are widely used. This registry evaluated the safety and efficacy of one specific composite mesh with polypropylene and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (Intramesh T1) in laparoscopic ventral hernia repair.
