We briefly outline the history of hernia surgery development from the Ebers Papyrus to
modern prosthetic repairs. The rapid evolution of anatomical, physiological and …

The use of degradable materials is required to address current performance and
functionality shortcomings from biologically-derived tissues and non-resorbable synthetic …

Several porcine-derived acellular biologic grafts are increasingly used in abdominal wall
reconstruction due to the limitations of synthetic meshes in many clinical situations …

The meshes for hernia repair result in many problems that are related to complications
including chronic pain and limited movement due to inadequate mechanical strength, non …

Background Repair of grade 3 and grade 4 ventral hernias is a distinct challenge, given the
potential for infection, and the comorbid nature of the patient population. This study …

Purpose Component separation (CS) is an effective technique for complex abdominal wall
reconstruction (AWR). Reinforcement of the repair with mesh can add durability. The …

Introduction There have been major advancements in the field of urologic reconstruction and
gender-affirming surgeries over the past 10 years. These operations have become …

Background: Acellular dermal matrices have been increasingly used in abdominal wall
reconstruction. Unique characteristics of these grafts have allowed surgeons to reconstruct …

Background Data on the use of biologic mesh in abdominal wall repair in complex cases
remain sparse. Aim of this study was to evaluate a non-cross-linked porcine acellular dermal …

Hernias can result from genetically impaired collagen formation, deposition, organization, or
degradation; from wound-healing deficiencies; and from injury, failed laparotomy closures …
