A PANORAMIC REVIEW ON MESHPLASTY FOR HERNIA CORRECTION-A GOLD STANDARD TREATMENT APPROACH
Abstract
Meshplasty is a medical term used for a surgical intervention which involves the use of a biomedical device called ‘surgical mesh’ for correcting a bulging organ or tissue either in peritoneal cavity or any other gap inside or outside the body scientifically termed as ‘hernia’. It is considered as a gold-standard treatment approach for management of hernias. Surgical mesh made up of various materials like synthetic polymers or bio molecules is used for correction of hernia using surgical methods like inlay, onlay or underlay depending upon the way of placing mesh. Merits and demerits of traditional and advanced surgical methods ranging from open surgery to laproscopic and robot-assisted surgery methods are also described in this review article. A systematic literature review available in books, magazines and online databases like MedScape, PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Scilit, Researchgate etc was performed to collect the relevant data on ‘hernia meshplasty’. This review article gives an enhanced spectrum of information on various types of hernias and various surgical methods which are used for correction of these protrusions. The article also provides information about the various types of mesh used in performing the meshplasty, methods of mesh placement, surgery types and post surgical complications are also described.
