Relationship between Biomaterials Structure Used in Hernia Mesh Fixation and Chronic Infection

Article Preview

Abstract:

Broad introduction and development of polymeric materials in abdominal hernia surgery led to the emergence and identification of secondary complications due to interaction between prosthetic material and human tissue. Whether identification of these reactions has led to the placement instructions of the prostheses into the wall structures of adbomen, there is no clear rule on fixation materials of these prosthesis; they generally follow the recommendations of the prosthesis materials.There are some situations in which the faulty choice of fixing materials can compromise such surgery, followed by chronic septic complications and negative effect on quality of life of these patients and increased risk of recurrence.The choice of fixing materials considering the structural characteristics of polymeric threads can prevent chronic suppuration secondary to this type of surgery.
