About

Eric J. Mallico is a clinical researcher specializing in hernia repair and surgical biomaterials, with a focused expertise in evaluating novel mesh technologies for ventral hernia treatment. His major contributions center on the clinical assessment of hybrid and absorbable-permanent mesh devices, providing critical safety and efficacy data that inform surgical practice. His most cited work, a 2022 multicenter retrospective study on the GORE® SYNECOR Intraperitoneal Biomaterial, demonstrated promising one-year outcomes for this hybrid composite mesh in ventral hernia repair, establishing a foundation for longer-term device evaluation. In 2024, he extended this research to preperitoneal applications, analyzing the GORE SYNECOR Preperitoneal Biomaterial—a permanent high-strength mesh with bioabsorbable web scaffold technology—further advancing the evidence base for next-generation hernia repair solutions. Though his citation counts are early-stage (4 and 2 citations respectively), these studies represent important contributions to the growing literature on hybrid biomaterials, directly addressing the surgical need for durable yet biocompatible mesh options. Mallico’s work is particularly valuable for surgeons and researchers seeking rigorous clinical data on emerging hernia repair technologies.
