Figure 6

Mesh centering accuracy assessment after removal. (a) VENTRALIGHT ST Mesh with transfascial sutures; (b) VENTRALIGHT ST Mesh with ECHO PS. Circled areas represent a white PERMA Fix fastener that was laparoscopically placed at the center of simulated surgical defect. The distance between the center of the mesh and the center of the simulated surgical defect was defined as “center error”.
