Progrip self-gripping mesh in Rives-Stoppa repair: Are there any differences in outcomes versus a retromuscular polypropylene mesh fixed with sutures? A “case series” study

Highlights • The Rives-Stoppa technique is an excellent repair in midline incisional hernia. • Prospective comparative analysis between retromuscular Self-gripping mesh and PPL fixed with sutures. • Self-gripping mesh is related to less postoperative pain the first 48 h after repair. • There were more postoperative hematomas in Non-Progrip group. • There were no differences in hernia recurrence in both groups.
