Study Summary

This study evaluates the outcomes of patients who have been treated with Strattice or Gore Bio-A mesh for the repair of complicated abdominal wall hernias. The purpose of this study is to collect information and evaluate the outcome of your surgery. Synthetic (man made) mesh has been shown to provide durable long-term outcomes; however, this type of mesh should not be used in patients at risk of developing an infection. Therefore, to address the challenge of finding an artificial strengthening material to repair complicated hernias in patients that could potentially develop surgical infection, two types of non-permanent materials have been developed, including biologics and bioabsorbables. Biologic mesh is made of living tissue and bioabsorbable mesh is made of synthetic material that is gradually absorbed by the body over time. The purpose of this study is to allow surgeons to compare the postoperative course of patients associated with these two mesh types to decide which material will improve the outcomes of their patients with complicated abdominal wall defects. To date there is no evidence to suggest that either mesh type is superior or safer than the other.

Primary Outcome

Patients will undergo post-operative follow-up at 1 month, 6 months, and yearly for 3 years. Patients will receive reminders of their follow-up visits before each time period. At each visit, patients will be asked to fill out a short questionnaire (Form A and Form B) that will aid in assessing and documenting postoperative symptoms and quality of life. During each follow-up visit a board certified or board eligible surgeon, who is blinded with regard to the group assignment, will perform a physi
