✦ Synopsis

We read with great interest the recent article by Vardanian and colleagues 1 on incisional hernia after liver transplantation, but would pose some questions to help put this large experience in perspective.

The authors describe 44 ventral hernia repairs using onlay mesh (57%), fascial opposition (34%), or inlay mesh (9%), yielding an overall 16% recurrence rate. Although the work makes a very important contribution to the understanding that mesh hernioplasty can be performed safely in transplantation patients, three omissions detract somewhat from our confidence in the authors' conclusions.
