    A 42-year-old woman underwent abdominal wall reconstruction using a bioresorbable P4HB mesh after recurrent hernia.

  • 2

    The patient had an uncomplicated pregnancy 16 months post-surgery, with no abdominal wall-related symptoms.

  • 3

    At 10-year follow-up, ultrasonography showed no hernia recurrence and confirmed complete resorption of the mesh.

  • 4

    The use of bioresorbable P4HB mesh preserved the natural physiology of the abdominal wall during pregnancy.

  • 5

    Findings from this single case study suggest potential benefits of bioresorbable implants, warranting further research.
