RROM technique achieves low recurrence and minimal complications

The retro-rectus onlay mesh (RROM) technique for ventral hernia repair demonstrates notable long-term effectiveness. In a follow-up of over four years, a mere 0.38% recurrence rate was observed among 191 patients, alongside minimal complications, including four superficial infections. The method shows promise as a safe and cost-effective alternative to the standard intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) approach, addressing issues of mesh-bowel interaction and infection risk while improving outcomes in hernia care globally.
