Fifty-nine (80.8%) patients were females and 52 (71.2%) patients were Saudi. Five (6.8%) patients had minor complications. Twenty-four (32.9%) patients had polypropylene mesh while 49 (67.1%) patients had vypro mesh, both types where fixed intraperitoneally using absorbable vicryl 2/0 interrupted suture. No differences in complications, duration of surgery, or hospital stay between patients using either vypro or prolene mesh. Intraperitoneal mesh placement of incisional hernia is safe on short and long term follow-up. Vypro mesh compares favorably with prolene mesh. The authors encountered no enterocutaneous fistula and experienced only 2 (2.7%) recurrences over one year  ISSN : 1319-1004  Journal Name : Medical Science Journal  Volume : 14  Issue Number : 1  Publishing Year : 1428 AH 2007 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Thursday, February 17, 2011  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email فاطمة الثبيتي Al-Thubaity, Fatma Investigator Doctorate   عدنان مرداد Merdad, Adnan Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  29024.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
