Abstract:
The historical stages in the development of hernioplasty methods are analyzed, starting with the use of various
prosthetic materials in the 19th century and ending with the discovery of synthetic polymers in 1935. The history of
the use of mesh prostheses in the surgery of inguinal hernias is covered. Particular attention is paid to various types
of synthetic materials, their characteristics, effectiveness, as well as prospects for the development of biotechnologies
for the creation of biologically inert meshes. Current trends in the selection of mesh materials, the influence of their
characteristics on the incidence of complications, as well as the prospects for using nanofiber biotechnology methods
to create biologically inert meshes are considered.
