The use of mesh in hernia repair and It’s complications

Abstract

Millions of patients are affected each year, presenting most commonly with primary ventral, incisional, and inguinal hernias. The incidence of hernia within the general population is estimated at 2% with 20% of cases occurring in adults. Incisional hernias occur frequently after abdominal surgery and recurrence after repair has been reported in up to 54% of patients. Hernia repair is one of the most common elective procedures in general surgery. The last two decades has brought new technical developments (prosthetic mesh, laparoscopy) to hernia repair. The use of prosthetic mesh to repair incisional and ventral hernias results in lower recurrence rates (<20%) compared with primary suture techniques (~50%). Agreement has been achieved that tension-free hernia repair using prostheses reduces recurrence rates significantly. Approximately 60% of prosthetic repairs of the inguinal floor are believed to use a flat mesh of some type, and 90% of incisional and ventral hernia repairs incorporate the use of a synthetic prosthesis. Prosthetic products, natural and synthetic, have been used in herniorrhaphy for decades. However, the use of prosthetic mesh for hernia repair can cause serious complications such as infection, seroma formation, fistulae formation, adhesion, biomaterial-related intestinal obstructions, and other miscellaneous complications. These complications are directly related to different factors (surgeon, technique, type of mesh used, patients with associated pathologies etc.). In conclusion, none of the available materials and techniques can be described as the "ideal mesh" and “ideal repair technique”, so far. Due to the quality of the available studies, the question concerning the best approach and the best mesh cannot be answered sufficiently yet. For these reason, we need prospective, randomised clinical and technical studies.
