Abstract:Objective The aim of the ILAM (Individualized Laparoscopic Anatomical Mesh) study was to create and implant a fully individualized mesh based on CT scans, taking into account the published body of knowledge about the material and mechanical behavior of the implant for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Summary Background Data The team creating and conducting this study consisted of surgeons and engineers. A specific project was made and divided into 4 phases. Methods The process of development and implantati… Show more
