  • Title: Pathophysiology, prevention, and management of prosthetic infections in hernia surgery.
    Author: Deysine M.
    Journal: Surg Clin North Am; 1998 Dec; 78(6):1105-15, viii. PubMed ID: 9927987.
    Abstract:
    Because hernias are repaired increasingly with mesh and plugs, surgeons performing these operations should make an extended effort to prevent infection, and, when infections occur, to treat them expeditiously. This article discusses bacterial binding, infection reduction, the patient-doctor relationship during the care of an infected wound, and other related topics.
