Background: The aim of this multicentre study was to analyse the outcomes of biosynthetic absorbable poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB) prosthesis implantation in patients undergoing ventral hernia repair (VHR) in the context of different degrees of contamination.
Methods: From May 2016 to December 2021, a multicentre retrospective analysis of patients who underwent elective or urgent hernia repair with P4HB prosthesis was performed in seven hospitals in Spain and Portugal. Patients with a postoperative follow-up of less than 20 months and those within the theoretical period of prosthesis resorption were excluded from the study. Regarding the degree of contamination, patients were assessed according to the modified Ventral Hernia Working Group (VHWG) classification. Epidemiological data, hernia characteristics, surgical and postoperative variables (Clavien-Dindo classification) of these patients were analyzed. Risk factors related to long-term recurrence were studied by a multivariate analysis.
Results: In 236 cases of P4HB prosthesis implantation, repair in cases of Grade 3 was the most frequent (49.1%), followed by Grade 2 in 42.3% of cases and Grade 1 in 8.4%. The most frequent complications were Grade 1, with the majority occurring during the first year. The overall rate of surgical site occurrences (SSO) was 30%. The hernia recurrence rate was 14.4% (n = 34), with a mean postoperative follow-up time of 41 months (22-61). The multivariate analysis showed that the onlay location of the mesh (OR 1.07; CI 1.42-2.70, p = 0.004) was a significant independent risk factor for recurrence.
Conclusions: The use of a P4HB bioresorbable mesh for the VHR with different degrees of contamination leads to favourable results overall, with an acceptable rate of hernia recurrence. The onlay location of the P4HB prosthesis is the main factor in recurrence in both elective and emergency settings.

Background: Although intraperitoneal and retromuscular mesh placement in ventral hernia repair (VHR) are associated with lower recurrence rates, the onlay plane remains a well-established option for certain clinical scenarios. A knowledge gap remains regarding resorbable biosynthetic onlay mesh and mesh exposure. We aim to determine exposure rate, risk factors, and treatment options.

- The study investigates the effectiveness of the poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB) scaffold (GalaFLEX) in preventing ptosis recurrence after mastopexy combined with breast augmentation.
- Out of 151 patients, 72 underwent surgery with P4HB support, showing no complications like recurrent ptosis or implant issues during an average follow-up of about 25 months.
- Results indicate a significant correlation between implant size and lower pole stretch, with stable volume redistribution over time, highlighting the long-term benefits of using GalaFLEX in mastopexy augmentation.

Dental implant surgery is a procedure that replaces damaged or missing teeth with an artificial implant. During this procedure, guided bone regeneration (GBR) membranes are commonly used to inhibit the migration of epithelium and GBR at the surgical sites. Due to its biodegradability, good biocompatibility, and unique biological properties, gelatin (GT) is considered a suitable candidate for guiding periodontal tissue regeneration.

This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety profile of poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB) mesh for ventral hernia repair through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: A literature search of five databases (PubMed, Embase, Ovid, Medline, and Google Scholar) produced a list of publications that analyzed the use of P4HB mesh in ventral hernia repair in both clean and contaminated cases.
