Characterization of Explanted Hernia Meshes From Human Subjects: A Multi-Center, Prospective Study

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Pathological Conditions, Signs and Symptoms, Hernia

In brief

This study will collect a large amount of hernia mesh explants and study the changes that occur in the materials in vivo to use the information to help design new mesh made from novel materials. We will have evidence that our current options are not only inadequate but can lead to complications. One of our main goals is to convince our colleagues to change their surgical practice by publishing and educating them with this data.
