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.EnglishBook chapter10.1007/978-3-642-11541-7_8
