Some 290 adults with hernias less than 2cm in diameter were included. This report evaluated early outcomes. After 30 days, surgical site complication rates were similar: 23.7 per cent after mesh repair compared to 18.1 per cent after suture repair.
Comment: Mesh repair did not increase the risk of wound complications, but will it affect hernia recurrence?
