OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the results of using fluoropolymer-coated mesh during intraperitoneal onlay mesh hernia repair in patients with primary ventral hernias. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The multicenter, non-randomized, controlled clinical study included 88 patients of both sexes who were operated on using a laparoscopic approach using the IPOM technique for a primary ventral hernia. The duration of observation ranged from 3 to 12 months. In the main group, 48 patients received fluoropolymer-coated meshes (Ftorex). A comparison was made with a retrospective group of 40 patients who were treated with anti-adhesive collagen-coated meshes (Parietene composite, Parietex Composite, Symbotex). RESULTS: The number of early and late postoperative complications in the groups did not have significant differences, at the same time, their number was lower in the group of patients in whom fluoropolymer-coated meshes were used. Most of the complications corresponded to Clavien-Dindo class I and II and did not pose a significant threat to health. There were no recurrences of hernias observed in patients included in the study. There were slightly more adhesions in the fluoropolymer-coated mesh group (35.4% vs. 25.0% in the collagen-coated mesh group). The quality of life of patients in the study groups did not differ. CONCLUSION: In laparoscopic IPOM hernia repair fluoropolymer-coated meshes are not inferior in effectiveness and safety to traditionally used collagen-coated meshes and can be recommended for use in patients with primary ventral hernias.
