Summary

Meshes-devices using dual-sided mesh technology have been developed for the specific indication of small ventral hernias. The design of these meshes allows introduction of a mesh of appropriate size to cover the hernia defect, through a small incision. This technique is very attractive for the surgeon and the patients because the mesh usually can be introduced through a nearly invisible scar in the umbilicus. The avoidance of fixation sutures omits the pain related to these sutures. Short-term results and patient satisfaction are very favorable, encouraging the surgeons to continue with the technique, although long-term results of these meshes in good quality studies are lacking.
