Abstract
Hernia repair is a standard part of general surgery, but nonetheless one that
has been revolutionized by two events over the past decade and a half: the the
development of tension-free and laparoscopic techniques and the use of
prosthetic materials.
Tension-free mesh-based repairs (eg, Lichtenstein, plug and patch) began to
increase in number in the late 1980s. More recently, laparoscopy for general
surgery, various laparoscopic techniques have been developed for hernia
repair. There has also been revolutionary change in prosthetic biomaterials
for application in hernia repair. This report Hernia Repair Device Markets and
Procedures contains useful statistics on hernia repair operations and
equipment including:
- Population and Procedure Statistics
- Review of Hernia Repair Products
- Review of Biomaterial and other Mesh Products
- Market and Forecast for Hernia Repair Equipment
