Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Are biologic meshes superior to synthetic meshes in ventral hernia repair : an experimental study with long-term follow-up evaluation?
Answer: Parietex composite mesh demonstrated the best long-term results compared with all the other meshes. The biologic non-cross-linked mesh, Strattice, showed little adhesion formation and moderate shrinkage but poor incorporation. Biologic meshes are promising, but varying results require a more detailed investigation and demonstrate that biologic meshes are not necessarily superior to synthetic meshes. The significant changes that take place between 30 and 90 days should lead to careful interpretation of short-term experimental results.
Output (English): no
