Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
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.
