Review Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Self-gripping mesh versus sutured mesh in open inguinal hernia repair: system review and meta-analysis.
The objective of this article was to compare the outcomes of self-gripping mesh (GM) with sutured mesh (SM) in open inguinal hernia repair. ⋯ The data showed that GM was equivalent to SM in open inguinal hernia repair. However, this new mesh still needs to be confirmed in large, multi-center, well-designed randomized controlled trials.
