Slowly resorbable synthetic hernia mesh
A slowly resorbable synthetic hernia mesh that is claimed to be cheaper and more efficacious compared with biological mesh for use in the repair of complicated hernias has been developed by researchers from the University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, Nebraska, USA.
The hernia mesh also provides incisional support in obese patients, who have a higher risk of hernia.
