Objective: We aim to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to analyze the efficacy and safety of low-cost meshes compared to polypropylene meshes for IHR.
Methods: We searched Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing low-cost and standard meshes for IHR. Low-cost mesh was defined as a material non-designed for medical use.

Polypropylene (PP) mesh is a widely used prosthetic material in hernia repair due to its excellent mechanical properties and appropriate biocompatibility. However, its application is limited due to severe adhesion between the mesh and the abdominal viscera, leading to complications such as chronic pain, intestinal obstruction, and hernia recurrence. Currently, building anti-adhesive PP mesh remains a formidable challenge.

Unlabelled: Reconstruction of the abductor mechanism remains a primary challenge with contemporary proximal femoral replacement (PFR) surgery. Previously, techniques such as trochanteric preservation or direct repair to the implant have been described; however, these strategies are limited in their ability to tension the repair and reattach other muscles of the hip girdle. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of patients undergoing oncologic PFR using a novel technique of mesh augmentation for soft tissue repair.
