Abstract:
The adolescent inguinal hernia has particularity in modern surgical treatment. Because of in the stage of growth and development, it can not be used only for the inguinal hernia sac high ligation, nor can it be treated as an adult inguinal hernia with artificial synthesis material mesh.Therefore, there are still many disputes in adolescent inguinal hernia treatment. As a kind of absorbable material, biologic mesh can repair inguinal hernia defect and induce the growth of cells and fibrous tissue to repair the defect of the inguinal wall. It can be degraded and absorbed by the body after the repair of the defect by the proliferation of autologous tissue,which does not affect the growth and development of adolescents,and its advantages have been affirmed by more scholars. Biologic mesh has become an ideal choice for the repair of inguinal hernia in adolescents.
