Abstract:
How to succeed in repairing an immense abdominal wall defect is often a perplexed question for surgeons. Finding perfect substitute material, therefore, is of great importance. The materials in this regard are often divided into two categories: biomaterial and non-boimaterial. The former has excellent mechanics properties while the latter possesses more favourable biocompatibility. The characteristics, clinical effects and advantages of biomaterials and non-biomaterials for abdominal wall repair are reviewed.
