Concomitant laparoscopic ventral hernia mesh repair and bariatric surgery: a retrospective study from a tertiary care center.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo analyze the safety in combing laparoscopic ventral hernia repair with a mesh and bariatric surgery.
backgroundObesity is one of the important precipitating factors for primary and recurrent ventral hernias (incisional and umbilical) and it is not uncommon to find these hernias in patients opting for obesity surgery. But, with no consensus or recommendation and concern of mesh infection, surgeons fear in combining these procedures, especially Roux en Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy.
methodsIn this study, we have retrospectively analyzed all patients who underwent concomitant bariatric procedure and mesh repair for ventral hernia at our institute.
resultsA total of 36 out of 765 patients operated at our institute between 2003 and 2011 had concomitant procedures. Eleven patients had Roux en Y gastric bypass (group I) and remaining 25 had sleeve gastrectomy (group II) performed on them. The operating times were 149 min(120-210 min) in group I and 122 min (90-220min) in group II. No immediate complications or any incidence of mesh infection or recurrence in either of the groups.
conclusionConcomitant mesh repair for ventral hernias can be safely combined with bariatric procedures like Roux en Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy. But, for beginners, these should be done only in selected cases after fully informed consent from the patients.
