About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Ventral Hernia focused on measuring ventral hernia, mesh
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Patient surgeon would not normally place a prosthetic (e.g. planned second surgery such as ostomy takedown)
- Patient unlikely to follow-up (i.e. no phone)
Sites / Locations
- UT Health at Lyndon B. Johnson General Hospital

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Ventral hernias are common following abdominal surgery. Currently, there is no equipoise on when synthetic and biologic meshes should be used. Among open ventral hernia repairs, half are repaired using biologic mesh while half are repaired using synthetic mesh. The investigators hypothesize that biologic mesh as opposed to synthetic mesh repair of open ventral hernia repair is associated with decreased risk of major complications one year after surgery.
