Umbilical/Epigastric hernia is a rather common surgical problem. Approximately 10% of all primary hernias comprise umbilical and epigastric hernias. In this study the complication rates of different mesh types which were used to repair umbilical/epigastric hernias were investigated. A retrospective chart review was performed of 86 patients who underwent ventral herniorrhaphy with either Composite Mesh ( CM, Group-1) or Dual Sided Mesh (DM, Group-1), were included in the study. Mean duration of follow-up was 22 months and no significant difference was demonstrated between groups in respects of hernia recurrence , wound complications ,mesh infection, infection requiring removal, development of bowel obstruction, or persistent pain or discomfort. On subgroup analysis there was no significant difference between complication and recurrence rates in respect of meshes of different trademarks. This study showed no significant difference between dual sided and composite meshes in respect of mesh-related complications
