Objective To study the advances in clinical application of hernioplasty by high molecular material.
Methods The literature in the recent years on the advances of hernioplasty by high molecular material was reviewed.
Results At present time many operative techniques of hernioplasty by high molecular material have been developed. The representative techniques were ①Rives-Stoppa′s mesh inlay hernioplasty; ②Lichtenstein′s tesion-free herniorrhaphy; ③mesh plug hernioplasty; ④Gilbert′s sutureless hernioplasty; ⑤laparoscopic inguinal hernioplasty. The reparing high molecular material was divided into absorbable and unabsorbable material, the former included polyglycolic-acid and polyglaction, the later consists of polypropylene polyester and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene.
Conclusion The clinical application of henioplasty by high molecular material is increasing. According to the hernia type and patient condition, excellent outcome will be achieved by the application of proper repairing method and repair material.
