Ventral hernia repair is one of the most frequently performed general surgery operations in the world, yet the treatment of clean-contaminated and contaminated cases remains controversial. Biologic mesh has been thought to resist infection, decrease chronic wound complications, and reduce the need for reoperation. Their use continues to be predominant in contaminated and dirty cases. This article is a comprehensive review of what mesh to choose in both clean and contaminated single-staged, open ventral hernia repair with further considerations of tissue incorporation characteristics, cost, safety profiles, complications, recurrence, and long-term outcomes.
