Onlay Mesh in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair.

The aim of the study was to compare the incidence of IH after abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) open repair according to the abdominal wall closure technique used. The main question it aims to answer is: Does prophylactic mesh reinforcement prevents from IH after AAA open repair? Patients were divided in 2 groups, fascial closure with small bites and prophylactic mesh reinforcement (Group A); and primary fascial closure with small bites alone (Group B) and were performed a clinical examination at least once within the first 24 post-operative months, where the clinical diagnosis of IH could be evaluated.
