We present results of a long term study of intra peritoneal bio mere material repair, eventual hernias. In a real world multi center fashion. Our aim was to analyze device safety and clinical outcomes a ventral hernia repair using a hybrid composite mesh Table one on the left shows our patient demographics of note, a significant proportion of our patients were either current or former smokers, and Nearly 80% of our patients were considered ventral hernia working group class two with co morbid conditions. 459 patients underwent repair of 469 Hernias. The mess location, hernia size And mesh overlap are described in table one Of note. Primary endpoint of hernia recurrence was seen in 7% of patients. At a mean follow up of 32 months Surgical site outcomes were seen in 3% of patients. Further subgroup analysis for patients who suffered a hernia recurrence did not show significance based on type of mesh fixation of permanent versus absorbable fixation. Bridged versus reinforcement type of repair diabetes was noted to be a statistically significant predictor of hernia recurrence in those patients who developed a recurrence. In conclusion, eventual hernia repair with hybrid composite mesh results and successful outcomes for the majority of patients. This study demonstrates this finding in a heterogeneous patient population undergoing repair using various approaches, different types of mesh fixation and mesh location. These data confirmed long term acceptable safety and device performance with a low rate of recurrence in a predominantly eventual hernia working group class to population
