| dc.description.abstract | Polypropylene mesh currently finds widespread use throughout the world in hernia repair, as it is well tolerated by the body and allows tissue ingrowth into the prosthesis [1]. Experimentally, all meshes cause an initial inflammatory tissue response in the recipient after implantation [2]. Interestingly, in most clinical studies in humans, these meshes are described as inert materials, but systematic morphological examinations of the long-term effects of meshes commonly used for hernia repair in humans are rare [3]. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. | |
