Repair options for inguinal hernias in contaminated surgical fields include local tissue repair or mesh repair. The former is associated with higher hernia recurrence rates. The latter generally is avoided because of an unacceptably high infection rate. AlloDerm (Lifecell Corp., Branchburg, NJ) can potentially provide a strong repair resistant to infection. The aim of our study was to evaluate if AlloDerm provides a safe alternative for inguinal hernia repair in contaminated surgical fields.
