This project proposes a sustainable approach to hernia repair by developing biodegradable scaffolds using green nanotechnology. The aim is to create safer, more effective materials that reduce complications associated with traditional synthetic meshes.
Hernia operations are among the most common surgical procedures performed today with over 20 million cases annually worldwide.
Hernia incidents are associated with pain and poor quality-of-life for the patient and lead to enormous healthcare costs, exceeding US $48 billion in the US annually.
At present, hernia operations rely heavily on non-degradable polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene and nylon meshes.
However, these polymers are often associated with foreign body reaction; implant failure…
