Abstract
Abnormal collagen metabolism is suspected to play an important role in the pathogenesis of recurring inguinal and incisional hernias. Whereas alloplastic prostheses are nowadays routinely used, the quantity and quality of collagen formation after repair in humans has not been analysed in a large cohort.Keywords
