DOI: 10.1007/s00268-018-4765-9
Abstract: BackgroundOptimal mesh reinforcement for abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR) in complex hernias remains questionable. Use of biologic, absorbable and synthetic meshes has been described. The idea of using an absorbable mesh (AM) under a permanent mesh… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00366-017-0558-2
Abstract: A common representation of surfaces with complicated topology and geometry is through composite parametric surfaces. This is the case for most CAD modelers. The majority of these models focus on having a good approximation of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00464-017-5749-9
Abstract: BackgroundHernia meshes exhibit variability in mechanical properties, and their mechanical match to tissue has not been comprehensively studied. We used an innovative imaging model of in vivo strain tracking and ex vivo mechanical analysis to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00464-019-06729-7
Abstract: Background Tension-free hernia repair has been regarded as the gold-standard treatment for selected inguinal hernias, but the use of prosthetic mesh in acutely incarcerated or strangulated inguinal hernias is controversial. Our aim was to evaluate… read more here.
