Prostheses in Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repair

Book cover Advances in Laparoscopy of the Abdominal Wall Hernia

Abstract

Current development of meshes has made possible the introduction and widespread use of laparoscopic techniques. Currently, we have multiple material combinations of meshes. It is important to make the correct choice of materials depending upon the type of hernia. We describe the classification of biomaterials of Amid with the latest variations by Bellón and Coda. The type of material and the pore diameter are subjects of intense study. Complications such as seroma and infection decrease with the correct selection of mesh for each surgery.
