Prosthesis for hernioplasty in veterinary science
Author(s): Dinesh Kumar, S Rai, R Vaish and Umeel
Abstract: The use of prosthesis has become essential for the repair of almost all hernias in large animals because the recurrence rate is quite high due to many reasons. For this purpose a variety of newer prosthesis have been used. An ideal prosthesis should be strong, pliable, non-allergenic, inert, non-biodegradable, non-carcinogenic and should stimulate adequate fibroblastic activity for optimum incorporation into the tissues. Surgeons should be familiar to different types of prosthetic materials so as to select an appropriate one for a given case. Non-absorbable or composite mesh is recommended for hernial repair and its contact with the bowl should be avoided. This article highlights the merits and demerits of various types of prosthesis which can be used for different types of hernioplasty.
