Biocompatibility of Biomaterials - Histological Aspects

摘要: The history of surgical meshes is an outstanding example the progress that has taken place in hernia surgery and possible benefits for patients from use biomaterials general. Whereas 1960s introduction polymer was considered a revolutionary unconventional step repair, modern would not be conceivable without these special biomaterials. Finally, era laparoscopic further increased meshes, representing central prerequisite this progressive technique. Overall, repair using achieves satisfying results majority patients, with recurrence rates lower than 10% (Amid et al. 1992; Shulman 1992). In particular, complicated or large incisional hernias mainly depends on employment (Walker 1976; Sugarbaker 1980; Imvrios 1994). effectiveness implants based their method working either by mechanical closure defect (sublay technique) integration mesh into artificial abdominal wall induction strong scar tissue around fibres (Klosterhalfen 1997).
