SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This title advocates new surgical practices that will allow the performance of mesh hernia surgery with virtually no infections. It considers the utilization of bio-active prosthetic materials for hernia repair in infected fields and the prevention of mesh infection during the operation.
