Abstract
This review presents the clinical background to abdominal wall reconstruction, the different types of surgical meshes employed and known mechanisms of infection. It is shown that there are major physico-chemical differences between available meshes, which, in combination with the location of the mesh, the surgical technique applied and hernia type involved influence the infection potential.
