Hernia incidence has been observed since ancient time. Advancement in the medical textile industry came up with the variety of mesh materials to repair hernia, but none of them are without complications including recurrence of hernia. Therefore individuals once developed with the hernia could not lead a healthy and comfortable life. This drawn attention of surgeons, patients, researchers and industry to know the exact mechanism behind its development, complications and recurrence. Recent investigations highlighted the role of genetic factors and connective tissue disorders being the reason for the development of hernia apart from the abnormal pressure that is known to develop during other disease conditions. This review discusses different mesh materials, their advantages and disadvantages and their biological response after its implantation.
疝气的发病率自古以来就已被观察到。医学纺织工业的进步带来了多种用于修复疝气的网状材料,但它们无一没有并发症,包括疝气复发。因此,一旦患上疝气,个人就无法过上健康舒适的生活。这引起了外科医生、患者、研究人员和行业的关注,以了解其发生、并发症和复发背后的确切机制。最近的研究强调了遗传因素和结缔组织疾病在疝气发生中的作用,除了已知在其他疾病状态下会产生的异常压力外。这篇综述讨论了不同的网状材料、它们的优缺点以及植入后的生物学反应。
