  The future of research in the treatment of hernia is directed mainly in two ways. The first is in genetic research, focusing on the goal of preventing the occurrence of hernia. The second (and more realistic), addresses the introduction of a new generation of biomaterials and surgical techniques that minimize aggression hernia repair, reduce surgical time and facilitate post-operative recovery of these patients. In this second line of action appear the most important advances in the field of minimally invasive techniques and materials used to repair the hernia pathology. The development of materials currently employed in hernia surgery has focused almost entirely on improvements on the screens, coatings and methods of fixation. The point has been reached of trying to unite these concepts, creating new self-adhesive mesh, coated meshes of various substances that incorporate imp.. Read More»
