Evaluate the effectiveness of mesh reinforcement in high-risk patients to prevent incisional hernia.
Based on the hypothesis that oncological cytoreductive surgery plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is associated with an increased risk of developing Incisional Hernia in the postoperative period, with an expected incidence of 50% at 24 months, we designed a prospective, multicenter and randomized clinical study to demonstrate the utility of the meshes in the prevention of Incisional Hernia, hoping to reduce the incidence to 15% at 24 months.
