Abstract

Best Evidence Topic

Incisional hernia

Onlay

Sublay

Surgical site infection

Wound infection

A best evidence topic has been constructed using a described protocol. The three-part question addressed was: In mesh repair of incisional hernia, which technique has a lower rate of surgical site infection (SSI), Sublay or Onlay? The best evidence showed that there is no statistically significant difference in the rate of SSI among the two techniques. • IMesh repair of incisional hernia. • Surgical site infection (SSI). • Onlay vs Sublay.
