Meta Analysis Comparative StudyMeta-analysis of Prolene Hernia System mesh versus Lichtenstein mesh in open inguinal hernia repair.
This study was designed to systematically analyse all published randomized clinical trials comparing the Prolene Hernia System (PHS) mesh and Lichtenstein mesh for open inguinal hernia repair. ⋯ The use of PHS mesh was associated with an increased risk of peri-operative complications compared to LMR. Both mesh repair techniques have comparable short- and long-term outcomes.
