摘要
Since the early 19th century different prostheses have been tried and tested to prevent recurrences after hernia repairs. This article reviews the evolution of prostheses and their use in hernia surgery. Tension-free mesh hernia repairs using polypropylene fibre seems to be associated with very low recurrence rates and minimal complications.
