  1. This table shows surgical repair and outcome for all 19 studies. From a total of 274 patients with TAWDs, 172 underwent surgical repair, both acute (n = 98) and delayed (n = 74), with a minority of mesh repair (n = 63). A total of 23 recurrences occurred in this patient group
  2. nm not mentioned, NA not applicable
  3. *Reinforcement consists of absorbable mesh, permanent mesh, and acellular cadaver dermis
  4. **Two of the patients who were initially treated conservatively developed symptoms requiring surgery after 8 months
