Comparison of a New Self-Gripping Mesh with Other Fixation Methods for Laparoscopic Hernia Repair in a Rat Model

Abstract

PG demonstrated a substantially stronger strength of incorporation in muscle tissue compared with other fixation systems and is an economic alternative to HS or FG. Laparoscopic mesh placement of PG requires some practice because of the microhooks. Clinical studies will have to be performed before the value of this mesh can be established for laparoscopic application.
