How to Construct a Mesh? Impact of Structure, Filament and Pore Size for Tissue Ingrowth

  • Conference paper
Book cover Meshes: Benefits and Risks

Abstract

With a great and steadily growing variety of meshes offered in the worldwide market, surgeons more and more face the difficulty in making a choice for their ideal prosthesis in hernia repair. Especially with regard to long intervals of implantation, the comprehension of the in vivo situation of mesh implants is of major importance. As in recent decades intensive research in the field of wound-healing properties, tissue response and mesh integration has been performed, an update is overdue. Furthermore, the answer to the question on how to construct a mesh should provide the arguments for which mesh should be used.
