Evaluation of Absorbable Mesh Fixation Devices at Various Deployment Angles

摘要

BACKGROUNDHernia repair failure may occur due to suboptimal mesh fixation by mechanical constructs before mesh integration. Construct design and acute penetration angle may alter mesh-tissue fixation strength. We compared acute fixation strengths of absorbable fixation devices at various deployment angles, directions of loading, and construct orientations.
