Randomized Control Trial of Biologic Mesh (XenMATRIXTM) vs. Component Separation Alone in Contaminated Ventral Hernia Repair:a Pilot Study
The purpose of this study is to compare open abdominal incisional hernia repair using
XenMATRIX biologic mesh versus repair with their own tissue. This study will provide
information in determining if a biological mesh is necessary to provide a sturdy repair for
a ventral hernia.
This study will involve comparison of open abdominal incisional hernia repair with XenMATRIX
biologic graft versus repair with native tissue.
The current study seeks to evaluate XenMATRIXTM, an FDA approved biologic graft for
repairing contaminated abdominal wall defects.
This study will provide significant insight for the reconstructive surgeon and patient to
determine whether a biologic graft is necessary for the reconstruction of a contaminated
ventral hernia repair to provide a durable single staged repair.
