This review examines the types of material used in hernia repair over the last 50 years and the evolvement of surgical repair techniques. The rates of infection and recurrence associated with past and present materials are also evaluated. In conclusion, while newer materials are associated with fewer complications, close attention to surgical technique is the single most important factor in hernia repair.
