The biology of hernia formation.
TLDR
Increased collagen breakdown mediated by matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is suggested to be involved in inguinal hernia formation and published data point towards hernia disease as an inherited disease.About:

Keita Itatsu,Yukihiro Yokoyama,Gen Sugawara,H. Kubota,Y. Tojima,Yasuhiro Kurumiya,H. Kono,H. Yamamoto,Masahiko Ando,Masato Nagino +9 more
TL;DR: A small number of studies have estimated the incidence of incisional hernia after abdominal surgery, but these studies are small in comparison with the need to investigate further the cause of hernia.
Book
Management of Abdominal Hernias
TL;DR: General introduction and history of hernia surgery, essential anatomy of the abdominal wall, epidemiology and aetiology of primary groin hernias in adults, and logistics of hernian repair.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term outcome of 254 complex incisional hernia repairs using the modified Rives-Stoppa technique.
TL;DR: The Rives-Stoppa repair of complex incisional hernias using synthetic prosthetic materials is safe with a low recurrence rate (5%) and high patient satisfaction, and among the respondents, 89% reported overall satisfaction with their repair.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parastomal hernia prevention using a novel collagen implant: a randomised controlled phase 1 study.
TL;DR: This trial demonstrates that the implant is safe, feasible to use and has the potential to prevent parastomal herniation and Xenogeneic collagen has been demonstrated to aid soft tissue reinforcement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyvinylidene fluoride: a suitable mesh material for laparoscopic incisional and parastomal hernia repair! A prospective, observational study with 344 patients.
David H. Berger,M. Bientzle +1 more
TL;DR: The laparoscopic repair of incisional and parastomal hernias with meshes made of PVDF (Dynamesh IPOM®) revealed low recurrence and, overall, low complication rates.

Extracellular matrix remodelling: the role of matrix metalloproteinases.
TL;DR: MMPs play an important role in the control of cellular interactions with and response to their environment in conditions that promote tissue turnover, be they physiological or pathological, such as inflammation and cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiology and Healing Dynamics of Chronic Cutaneous Wounds
TL;DR: A review of the biochemical and physiologic processes that regulate wound healing and the cascade of cellular events that gives rise to the healing process is presented here.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laparoscopic techniques versus open techniques for inguinal hernia repair
TL;DR: Comparisons of open mesh techniques versus open non-mesh techniques have been considered in a separate Cochrane review, and time to event analysis for hernia recurrence and return to usual activities were performed on an intention to treat principle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Have outcomes of incisional hernia repair improved with time? A population-based analysis.
TL;DR: Incisional hernia repair is associated with high cumulative rates of reoperative repairs and the expectation that important measures of adverse outcome have improved in recent eras is not supported by this large population-based study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Smoking is a risk factor for incisional hernia
TL;DR: Smoking is a significant risk factor for incisional hernia in line with relaparotomy, postoperative wound complications, older age, and male sex.
