“…21,36 Because groin hernia is a very common condition and its repair is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures worldwide and because the cost of commercial mesh is prohibitive in many low-and middleincome countries, the findings of this study could have broad relevance for the care of these patients. 1,[4][5][6]37 The recurrence rate of 0.7% with low-cost mesh is consistent with recurrence rates reported with commercial mesh in high-income countries.…”

“…(9) The incidence of superficial infection in this series was 2.86% with no deep infection or mesh rejection. In Tongaonkar and B V Reddy's study, the minor infection rate was 4.7 % ( 9) and it was 7% in Brian Stephensons series (5) which also used MNM for hernia repair in Africa.…”

“…Both clinical and experimental evidence (5) support the use of indigenous MNM to augment the repair of inguinal hernia to achieve results similar to those of commercial meshes. This is a retrospective study evaluating efficacy and cost of MNM as against conventional mesh repair.…”

ABSTRACT:In inguinal hernia tension free hernioplasty using polypropylene mesh by Lichenstein and Schulman's method is accepted all over the world. But cost of the mesh is a major contributor to the cost of repair in rural India. A retrospective study of 105 Inguinal hernia operated patients from 1 st March 2007 to 30 th October 2011 was undertaken to evaluate efficacy and cost benefit of Mosquito Net Mesh (MNM) as against conventional mesh repair. All patients were operated under spinal anaesthesia. The ETO sterilized MNM of size 7.5cm by 13cm was used for repair. The incidence of complications, recurrence and cost benefit was investigated after a mean follow up of 37 months. The rate of seroma formation (n=0), hematoma formation (n=0), superficial infection in the form of erythema (n=3), serous discharge after stitch removal (n=7), chronic pain (n=4) and recurrence (n=2) were low. The cost benefit was 40% -50% of the total cost of the repair by using MNM. ETO sterilized MNM forms a cheap, safe and efficient alternative to the conventional and costly polypropylene mesh in open tension free repair of inguinal hernia in adults.

“…2,13,14,15 The clinical effectiveness of this material for hernioplasty is not in doubt. Also in a randomized double blind study in Burkina Faso, Freudenberg S et al 16 had shown that there was no significant difference in the short term clinical outcome of hernia treatment or surgeon's comfort in handling the MNM and the commercial mesh prosthesis.…”
