pubmed:abstractText |
Approximately 200,000 incisional hernias are repaired annually in the United States. The high incidence (11-20%) and recurrence rate (24-54%) for incisional hernias have not changed appreciably in 75 years. Mechanical advances in suture material, incision orientation, and closure technique have failed to eliminate this common surgical complication. A biological approach to acute wound failure may offer a new strategy.
