Design and Validation of a Dynamic Pressure-Based Loading Device and 3D Strain Tracking Protocol for Ventral Hernia Modeling
It is estimated that 350,000-500,000 ventral hernia repair surgeries are performed each year in the United States. While the long-term recurrence rate of ventral hernia repairs is not yet known, when tissues are exposed to the trauma of surgery, there is always the chance of recurrence. Commonly …
