Bariatric SUrgery With Mesh REpair of Ventral Hernia: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Abdominal ventral hernia (VH) repair with mesh during bariatric surgery. the repair technique and the type of mesh are left to the choice of the center, as there are no strong data to demonstrate which technique is the best for VH repair in this population.

The hernia sack is resected through an open approach, and the fascial defect is systematically closed with a slowly absorbable monofilament suture.
