The use of sterilized mosquito nets for hernioplasty: a systematic review
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Hernia repair is among the most frequent surgeries performed. Surgeons prefer the tension-free mesh repair, but in large parts of the world, commercial meshes are unavailable or unaffordable. Consequently, surgeons have been experimenting with insertion of inexpensive non-commercial meshes, the most common being a non-impregnated, sterilized mosquito net.
