“…Recovery is excellent even with bilateral repair or some fixation [7] . In our study, no postoperative adverse event was reported in any patient in either of the 2 groups; like that observed by Amato G and colleagues [8,9] . In the present study, recurrence was noted in 1 (1.33%) patient in the conventional group, while there was no recurrence among the patients treated with the 3D mesh.…”

“…Paliwal et al reported no recurrence among any of their 260 study patients. 11 Amato G et al also reported no recurrence in both their studies [8,9] . In our study, the mean ± SD hospital stay was higher (3.27 ± 0.91 days) in the conventional group as compared to the 3D mesh group (1.83 ± 0.53 days).…”

“…Amongst our study population, 1 (1.33%) patient in the conventional group had post-operative infection, as against none of the patients treated with the 3D mesh. No infections were reported by Amato G et al in both their studies [8,9] . Chronic pain was reported in 14 (46.67%) patients in our conventional group, as compared to none patients in the 3D mesh group.…”

Introduction: In this continuous evolving world, various newer techniques in the management of inguinal hernia coming up continuously. Introduction of 3D mesh is one of those recent advances in Inguinal Hernia Treatment. This study was designed to evaluate efficacy of the 3D mesh compared to the conventional mesh in open hernia surgery. It is a unique study with currently paucity of data available on it. Methods: Sample size of 60. Patients were followed up at 7 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year. Results: The 3D mesh system as compared to conventional open surgical techniques has no recurrence, significantly lower duration of hospital stays, and no chronic pain. Conclusion:We conclude that the efficacy of the use of the 3D mesh system definitely has advantages as compared to conventional open surgical techniques.

“…In some studies, lower rates of both complications and pain have been reported to develop following MPR [ 11 , 13 ]. In contrast, the complication rate was reported to be higher especially due to migration of the mesh [ 4 , 14 , 15 ].…”

Objective: The lifetime risk to develop an inguinal hernia is 27%-43% for men and 3%-6% for women. Methods of hernia repair currently involve prosthetic mesh applications. The aim of this study is to compare the Lichtenstein repair and Mesh-plug repair methods in the surgical treatment of indirect inguinal hernias and to identify which of these two techniques is superior regarding its conferred advantages.Materials and Methods: In this study, a total of 102 patients who were diagnosed with indirect inguinal hernia between the years 2014 and 2015 without a previous operation were analyzed. Patients undergoing Lichtenstein repair and Mesh-plug repair were compared, especially during operation time, hospital stay, postoperative pain and other aspects.Results: The mean age of patients was 28.7 years (19-73). The mean duration of operations and hospitalizations was significantly shorter in patients who had undergone mesh-plug repair. Inguinal pain in the operation area on postoperative day one, two weeks and six months was significantly less in patients who had undergone mesh-plug repair. Patients were followed-up for two years.Conclusion: We concluded that mesh-plug repair was superior to Lichtenstein repair regarding postoperative pain, quality of life of the patient, shorter duration of operation, and duration of hospital stay although the two methods were similar regarding both recurrence and complication rates. Considering this information, we suggest that mesh-plug repair can be used safely for the treatment of indirect inguinal hernias.

“…Especially for soft tissue engineering, the dilemma is balanced between on one hand, having a lightweight mesh, but on the other hand offering a 3‐D macroporous structure that facilitates muscle regeneration. Encouraging results using 3‐D multi‐lamellar plugs made of PP aimed at filling hernia defects and 3‐D non‐woven macroporous scaffolds made of PVDF were recently published and different companies are already offering similar products (e.g., ProFlor by Insightra Medical, Prolene 3D by Covidien and 3DMax Mesh by Bard) . Nevertheless, an important requirement to keep in mind is the ability to deliver the 3‐D scaffold into the abdominal cavity using minimal invasive surgery, facilitated by the self‐fixation property exhibited by some of the listed 3‐D implants with dynamic memory shape characteristics …”

Abdominal wall hernia is a recurrent issue world-wide and requires the implantation of over 1 million meshes per year. Because permanent meshes such as polypropylene and polyester are not free of complications after implantation, many mesh modifications and new functionalities have been investigated over the last decade. Indeed, mesh optimization is the focus of intense development and the biomaterials utilized are now envisioned as being bioactive substrates that trigger various physiological processes in order to prevent complications and to promote tissue integration. In this context, it is of paramount interest to review the most relevant bio-functionalities being brought to new meshes and to open new avenues for the innovative development of the next generation of meshes with enhanced properties for functional abdominal wall hernia repair.
