Abstract
Bioactive prosthetic mesh was first introduced in the 1990s and has been used successfully for the repair of the posterior inguinal floor (transversalis fascia, conjoined tendon, internal ring, adductor longus) for sports hernia repair. It remains to be determined whether or not it has a role in the elective repair of inguinal hernias. Here, we briefly discuss the biology of nonsynthetic mesh products, their clinical use in inguinal hernias, and their benefits, specifically for patients with athletic pubalgia or sports hernias.
