“…Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair is believed to be superior to an open operation (Qadri et al, 2010), however the best treating scheme is not specified for the time being, and such problems as recurrences or chronic pain happen (Sommer and Friis-Andersen, 2013). It is believed that the success of ventral hernia repair depends mainly on selection of an appropriate implant and its fixation (Muysoms et al, 2013). In the authors' opinion, mathematical modelling and simulations can provide information about the best course of the treatment, and then, a combination of medical and mechanical knowledge may lead to an increase in hernia treatment efficiency.…”
