The biological and physical augmentation provided by extracellular matrix (ECM) derived
implants continues to challenge and refine the conventional wisdom of biomaterials. It is …

Background: Mesh implantation during abdominal wall reconstruction decreases rates of
ventral hernia recurrence and has become the dominant method of repair. The authors …

Objective: Our objective was to evaluate the safety and durability of biologic mesh for single-
staged reconstruction of contaminated fields. Introduction: The presence of contamination …

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate which mesh type yields lower recurrence
and complication rates after ventral hernia repair. Summary Background Data: More than …

Background Effective repair of hernia is a difficult task. There have been many advances in
hernia repair techniques over the past 50 years, but new strategies must be considered to …

Background Primary repair of large hiatal hernia is associated with a high recurrence rate.
The use of mesh may reduce this recurrence rate. The indication for mesh use, the type of …

Background Many surgeons believe that primary fascial closure with mesh reinforcement
should be the goal of abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR), yet others have reported …

Objectives: Incisional hernia (IH) remains a common, highly morbid, and costly complication.
Modest progress has been realized in surgical technique and mesh technology; however …

The field of tissue engineering (TE) has made tremendous progress in the past decade and
is still evolving. It is not only now possible to control cells and their environments more …
