    Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for ventral hernia repair (VHR) has gained popularity due to advancements in robotic technology and surgeon proficiency.

  • 2

    Self-gripping mesh (SGM) was introduced in 2006 as an alternative to non-self-gripping mesh (NSGM), with potential benefits in reducing trauma and pain.

  • 3

    Prior studies indicate mixed outcomes for SGM, showing lower wound complications in open VHR but higher overall complication rates compared to traditional techniques.

  • 4

    This study aims to evaluate 30-day postoperative outcomes of SGM versus NSGM in MIS extraperitoneal VHR, focusing on surgical site infections and complications.

  • 5

    Data for this retrospective cohort study was sourced from the Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative (ACHQC) database, involving over 160,000 patients.
