Official Title: Randomized Study of Long-term Follow-up of Incisional Hernia Repaired With Intraperitoneal Mesh Versus On-lay Mesh Repair

Brief Summary:

The intraperitoneal repair has been proven safe for the repair of incisional hernia and is accepted, together with the subfascial or retromuscular repair as the "gold-standard" for the repair of incisional hernia. However no studies have convincingly proven that this approach is better than the on-lay repair.

The authors believe that the intraperitoneal repair performs better than the on-lay repair for incisional hernia.
