Abstract
A best evidence topic has been constructed using a described protocol. The three-part question addressed was: In open mesh repair of incisional hernia, which technique has a lower recurrence rate, Sublay or Onlay? The best evidence showed that there is no statistically significant difference in the rate of recurrence among the two techniques.
•Comparison of recurrence rate among patients who underwent Onlay vs Sublay mesh repair of incisional hernia.•The best evidence showed that no statistical difference in the recurrence rate between Sublay and Onlay mesh of incisional hernia.
