Our study demonstrates that the use of P4HB mesh is both safe and effective in ventral hernia repairs. When further analyzed past 18 months, the time where P4HB mesh fully resorbs, the rates of hernia recurrence, SSI, and any complications remain low of upwards of 5 years and comparable to the rates seen in synthetic and biologics in similar patient populations.
