Objective

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the difference in quality of life at one year postoperatively for patients undergoing incisional hernia repair with mesh versus suture repair using modern techniques.

The main question it aims to answer are:

� Determine if primary suture repair is non-inferior to mesh repair for incisional hernias 2-6cm with respect to quality of life using the HerQLes summary score at one year postoperatively.

Description

This is a patient-blinded randomized control trial comparing incisional hernia repair using synthetic mesh versus suture repair. This is a non-inferiority trial theorizing that suture repair will be non-inferior with respect to quality of life (using the HerQLes survey) at 1 year postoperatively. Patients will be blinded to the intervention, groups will be in parallel.
