Open inguinal hernia repair with the use of polyglycolic acid/trimethylene carbonate mesh: gross and pathologic assessment of the inguinal area at reoperation for recurrence.

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
purposeOur group tried to test the hypothesis of using a totally absorbable material for open inguinal hernia repair. However, the increased incidence of recurrences alleviated our initial enthusiasm regarding the technique. The purpose of the present study was to attain both gross and microscopic data that could at least in part justify the hernia repair failure from a patient included in our initial pilot study and was re-operated for recurrence.
methodsA 65-year-old male patient was diagnosed clinically with a recurrence 24 months after open inguinal hernia repair with the use of polyglycolic acid/trimethylene carbonate mesh. The patient was operated for the recurrence upon our group on July 2012. The gross appearance of the inguinal area as well as the degree of chronic inflammation provoked by the used mesh as depicted by the pathologic analysis of specimens obtained intraoperatively were assessed.
resultsAn open tension-free repair with the use of a non-absorbable mesh under spinal anesthetic was undertaken. Intraoperatively, after the division of the external oblique aponeurosis, only minor fibrotic reaction was observed a finding that was additionally confirmed pathologically.
conclusionPolyglycolic acid/trimethylene carbonate mesh used for inguinal hernia repair was associated with a minimal inflammatory host reaction in the inguinal area at 3 years verified both grossly and microscopically.
