Hernia is a physical condition: in form of the protrusion of the inner organs through a scar/hole at the abdominal wall. Consequently its treatment is the physical repair of such scar or hole
In past years, this repair was performed by directly seaming the scar. The tension, incurred around the hole during the seam process and the holes opened at the seam locations constituted the preconditions for the incur of hernia in short time. At this period the repair of abdominal wall hernias resulted at a high ration in a re-incur of the hernia. Even it should not re-incur at the same location, directly performed repairs of large scars cause the incur of new herniations at other locations due new small scars or tension increases at other locations of the abdominal wall.
The utilization of meshes at hernia treatment does not go back much. In older times, meshes were used at patients with a re-incur of 4-5 times. As the meshes were not sufficiently secure that times, the were deemed as the last choice. When meshes were used, as long as there were no infections, allergies or tissue denial, they always gave good results.
At present day, mesh technology developed much. During the last 10 years, tension-free mesh repair became the primary treatment method of all hernia. The first reason for this is that mesh complications at contemporary meshes got very low.
The rate of an infection, an allergy in relation to the mesh and denial at contemporary meshes is near to zero. This is the secret of the present success at hernia surgery. Though that, persons, who live in their memory their hernia surgeries and the problematic re-incur of these, cause that he and those in his environment live with that and are harmed by this way.
