Hernia repair and management

This study evaluates polygenic risk scores for hernia susceptibility and finds they are associated with incisional hernia but do not improve clinical risk prediction beyond traditional factors.

This study identifies 243 genome-wide significant loci for hernia subtypes, reveals shared and distinct genetic factors, and identifies potential therapeutic targets.

This study explores the feasibility of using selective germline genome-edited pig meninges grafts for abdominal wall closure in damage control surgery, showing successful integration and revascularization in a rabbit model.
