| Abstract |
This study is a review on the management of ventral hernia during bariatric surgery. The main outcomes are the recurrence rate after ventral hernia repair and the incidence of prosthetic infection. Eleven studies were included. Ventral hernias were treated by simple suture (n = 191), synthetic mesh (n = 186), and biological mesh (n = 72). Mean defect size was 18 cm2. Recurrence rate was 25.7% in the suture group, 14.3% in the biomesh group, and 1.1% in the synthetic mesh group (p < 0.05). Mesh infection rate was not different between the groups. No significant difference was observed in 30-day reoperation. Concomitant treatment of small hernia defect is feasible and safe during bariatric surgery. Synthetic mesh provides a significantly lower recurrence rate without any increase in 30-day wound morbidity. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 15. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 February 2022.
All research outputs
#2,112,900
of 23,122,481 outputs
Outputs from Obesity Surgery
#200
of 3,418 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#46,002
of 329,231 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Obesity Surgery
#7
of 60 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,122,481 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 90th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,418 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.8. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,231 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 60 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
