Experimental Comparison of Monofile Light and Heavy Polypropylene Meshes: Less Weight Does Not Mean Less Biological Response

Author: Prof. Dr. med. U. Klinge

Published in: World Journal of Surgery | Issue 4/2007

Excerpt

The authors1 focus the results of their study in a message mentioned in the title that “less weight does not mean less biological response”. This statement may cause some confusion as several studies have proven that material reduction improves the tissue integration by reducing inflammation and fibrosis.2‐5 …
