Hernia repair is a standard part of general surgery, but
nonetheless one that has been revolutionized by two events over the
past decade and a half: the the development of tension-free and
laparoscopic techniques and the use of prosthetic materials.

Tension-free mesh-based repairs (eg, Lichtenstein, plug and patch)
began to increase in number in the late 1980s. More recently,
laparoscopy for general surgery, various laparoscopic techniques have
been developed for hernia repair. There has also been revolutionary
change in prosthetic biomaterials for application in hernia repair.
