Brief Summary:
This study compares the incidence of surgical site infections (SSI) in patients undergoing abdominal hernia repair using either light or heavy-weighted polypropylene mesh. The study aims to determine which mesh type results in fewer SSIs, thereby guiding future surgical approaches to abdominal hernia repair.
Detailed Description:
Hernias, a protrusion of abdominal contents through the abdominal wall, are often treated surgically using synthetic polypropylene mesh. Two varieties of polypropylene mesh exist: light and heavy weighted. The lighter mesh is softer, less allergenic, and potentially leads to fewer post-surgical complications, including SSIs. In contrast, heavier mesh, which has been traditionally used, consists of thicker threads with narrower gaps and has a higher chance of eliciting an immune response. This trial aims to assess the effectiveness of light mesh over heavy mesh in reducing SSIs in abdominal hernia repairs, thereby providing data to support best practices in surgical care.
