    Over 300,000 ventral hernia repairs are performed annually in the U.S., with recurrence rates exceeding 60% for unreinforced repairs.

    Biologically derived grafts, such as urinary bladder matrix (UBM), are less likely to cause chronic inflammation and are more resistant to infection than synthetic meshes.

  • 3

    This study evaluates long-term outcomes of complex ventral incisional hernia repairs using UBM, focusing on complications, recurrence, and patient-reported symptoms.

  • 4

    A total of 45 patients completed the Carolina Comfort Scale, and 28 patients underwent imaging to assess the radiographic appearance of the repaired fascia.

  • 5

    The study includes cases of patients requiring unrelated abdominal explorations post-repair, providing insights into the long-term durability of UBM grafts.
