OC-082 LAPAROSCOPIC VENTRAL HERNIA REPAIR WITH PHASIX ST, VENTRALIGHT, AND OMERA: 5 YEARS OUTCOME

Abstract

Abstract Background Permanent synthetic mesh is the standard mesh used in repairing the ventral hernia. The complication of the synthetic mesh opens the door to assessing the place of resorbable mesh and allocating the exact position. This work is to evaluate the usage of Phasix ST, Ventralight, and omera in repairing Ventral Hernia. Methods A retrospective study of the patient undergoing laparoscopic using Phasix ST, Ventralight, and omera mesh was approved by Institutional research board. Results Seventy patients included in this study. 18 males and 52 females. Mean age is 54.1 with 33.2 kg/m2. All surgeries were done in a single Institution by one surgeon. The average age of the patient is 54.2, with a 33.2 BMI. The patients were followed in the clinic or via telephone for 60 months. Phasix ST was used for 26 patients, omera for 14 patients, and, Ventralight for 30 patients. There are three recurrences in the Phasix ST group. Recurrence occurred in the center of the mesh for all patient with adhesion to the mesh and capture tackers. One fistula and omera group, and one recurrence in the Ventralight group. Post-operative pain is better in the Phasix ST group. However, it was not statistically significant. The cost of Phasix ST is higher than the two meshes. Conclusion Polypropylene composite mesh showed comparable results as Phasix ST in pain. Omera causes fistula and severe adhesions. Further work is needed to compare different mesh, and polypropylene composite mesh remains to be the first line in the management.
