Active Control

Group I: Transfascial sutures for mesh fixationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Mesh will be placed in the retromuscular space, with wide overlap on all sides. Full thickness transfascial sutures will be placed circumferentially to secure the mesh using slowly absorbable no. 1 sutures. A total of at least six transfascial sutures will be placed universally for all patients with additional sutures allowed according to each surgeon's discretion. Additional bone or ligament sutures for mesh fixation will be allowed according to each surgeon's discretion.
