Although there is robust literature regarding KP, there is a knowledge gap in the long-term performance of NWP in ventral hernia repair (VHR). We recently reported one-month outcomes of KP versus NWP mesh after VHR; however, long-term outcomes of NWP were not evaluated. This study aims to describe these long-term outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients who underwent open, clean VHR with Surgimesh WN, a heavyweight NWP mesh, from 2022 to 2025 with one year follow-up were included. Outcomes such as SSO (surgical site occurrence), SSI (surgical site infection), SSOPI (surgical site occurrence requiring procedural intervention), and hernia recurrence were reported at 30-day, one-year, and two-years. Hernia recurrence was defined pragmatically, a composite of patient-reported bulges, clinical exam, and cross-sectional imaging.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      160 patients were included. Ventral hernias had a median width of 15\u00a0cm. At 30 days, there were 20 SSOs, six SSIs, eight SSOPIs, and no hernia recurrences. At one year, there were three SSOs, one SSI, one SSOPI, and no reoperations for recurrence.
