Recurrence rate after absorbable tack fixation of mesh in laparoscopic incisional hernia repair

The mesh fixation technique in laparoscopic incisional hernia repair may influence the rates of hernia recurrence and chronic pain. This study investigated the long‐term risk of recurrence and chronic pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic incisional hernia repair with either absorbable or non‐absorbable tacks for mesh fixation.
