Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention Group A (Light Mesh Group)
All the patients will be administered intravenous Antibiotics two hours before induction of anaesthesia. The surgical site will be shaved if needed after scrubbing the patient. Prolene suture material will be used to anchor the light mesh and suture the skin. A negative pressure drain will be placed if needed. The wound will be dressed with gauze dressing. Post-operatively daily dressing will be done by ward dispenser following full aseptic technique.
Light Weight Mesh
Participants will undergo abdominal hernia repair using light-weighted polypropylene mesh. Standard post-operative care and antibiotic prophylaxis will be provided.
Intervention Group B (Heavy Mesh Group)
All the patients will be administered intravenous antibiotics two hours before induction of anaesthesia. The surgical site will be shaved if needed after scrubbing the patient.
Prolene suture material will be used for anchoring the Heavy mesh and for suturing the skin. A negative pressure drain will be placed if needed. The wound will be dressed with a gauze dressing. Post-operatively daily dressing will be done by ward dispenser following full aseptic technique.
Heavy Weight Mesh
Participants will undergo abdominal hernia repair using heavy-weighted polypropylene mesh. Standard post-operative care and antibiotic prophylaxis will be provided.
