Evolution of ventral hernia repair

Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this review was to look at relevant data and research on the evolution of ventral hernia repair.

Methods

Resources including books, research, guidelines, and online articles were reviewed to provide a concise history of and data on the evolution of ventral hernia repair.

Results

The evolution of ventral hernia repair has a very long history, from the recognition of ventral hernias to its current management, with significant contributions from different authors. Advances in surgery have led to more cases of ventral hernia formation, and this has required the development of new techniques and new materials for ventral hernia management. The biocompatibility of prosthetic materials has been important in mesh development. The functional anatomy and physiology of the abdominal wall has become important in ventral hernia management. New techniques in abdominal wall closure may prevent or reduce the incidence of ventral hernia in the future.

Conclusion

The management of ventral hernia is continuously evolving as it responds to new demands and new technology in surgery.
