A Patient’s Guide to Hernia Repair
While some hernia defects can disappear if they are pressed, this does not permanently resolve the hernia. In addition, because hernias typically worsen over time, the patient should consult a surgeon after a hernia has been identified.
Visible tissue responsiveness: Metabolic and fibroblast activity during utilization of a bioabsorbable matrix in abdominal wall reconstruction
In this issue of General Surgery News Special Report, Eric Mallico, M.D., FACS, describes the quality of life of patients after ventral and hiatal hernia repairs, and reviews long-term patient outcomes.
A fundamental goal of hernia repair is providing a durable closure.
The influx of more high-risk and obese patients in need of abdominal wall hernia repair naturally leads to larger, more complex hernia cases and the need for strong mesh.
GORE® ENFORM Biomaterial is a reinforcement for soft tissue composed of synthetic bioabsorbable polyglycolic acid and trimethylene carbonate which has proven to be effective for hernia repair.

Biosynthetics — Know your options
"[Biologic] materials come with only moderate durability, and at substantial financial cost. Slowly absorbable biosynthetic implants, as a class of hernia meshes, represent a possible cost-effective solution. In the final analysis."
Many repaired incisional or ventral hernias recur; thus, the primary objective of research and technological developments pertaining to these hernias has long been to minimize recurrences without increasing treatment-related complications.
Case Study: Proven Outcomes Reduced Costs for Complex Hernia Repairs
GORE® BIO-A® Tissue Reinforcement is an excellent choice in soft tissue repair, including complex hernia.
