No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Hernia of the abdominal wall occur frequently after various surgical procedures of the abdomen and are increasingly performed by laparoscopic means. Different mesh fixation techniques are applied, but the influence of mesh fixation on shrinkage is not known in human patients. Therefore, mesh shrinkage was assessed using two different techniques for fixation.
