Abstract: The incidence of mesh-related infection after abdominal wall hernia repair is low, generally between 1 and 4%; however, worldwide, this corresponds to tens of thousands of difficult cases to treat annually. Adopting best practices in prevention is one of the keys to reduce the incidence of mesh-related infection. Once the infection is established, however, only a limited number of options are available that provides an efficient and successful treatment outcome. Over the past few years, there has been a tremen… Show more

“…The recurrence rate of repaired hernia has been reduced marginally by using synthetic PP implants [2][3][4]. However, after PP mesh implantation, infection can be rare (1%-4%) [5,6], but subsequent failure of hernia mesh devices cannot be undervalued [7,8]. Reasons for infection may be the colonization of bacteria of the uneven knitting surfaces of PP meshes which may cause fistula formation around its pore size and result in the formation of granuloma [9].…”

“…One of the emerging trends is to combine antimicrobial coatings to the mesh to be implanted [ 8 ]. This local and controlled administration of drugs reduces the risk of developing bacterial resistance and permits to achieve high concentration of therapeutics in the vicinity of the prosthesis with limited or no systemic effect [ 9 ].…”

“…However, infection, rejection, seroma, intestinal adhesion, intestinal obstruction and other complications caused by mesh have become new clinical problems [6,7]. According to statistics, the incidence of mesh infection after abdominal hernia repair was 1 ~ 4% [8], among which the mesh infection rate after inguinal hernia repair by open surgery was about 1.0% ~ 9.1% [9], while that of MILIHR was 0.7%-2% [10]. Although the infection rate of mesh is low, postoperative mesh infection is the most serious postoperative complication, and the clinical treatment is a di cult and thorny problem.…”
