A tissue-engineered approach to hernia repair

2017-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Hernia repairs are among the most common surgical procedures performed, with more than 20 million hernias estimated to be repaired every year around the world. Mesh insertion is the most common method of treatment, with the mesh typically being made from polypropylene (PP). Significant complications can arise from PP meshes that include chronic infection, inflammation and pain. Electrospinning, a technique that ut...
