Overview
Hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures worldwide. Reinforcement of the tissue with a surgical mesh requires the implantation of much over 1 million meshes per year worldwide. Implant design remains a critical challenge for the prevention of hernia recurrence. Currently available implants exhibit a wide spectrum of different characteristics. This review summarizes the specifics, advantages, limitations, complications and functionalities of commonly accessible prostheses. There is still no ideal mesh for every surgery.
