It is a well known fact that there is shrinkage of mesh to about 20 percent. This is more with polypropylene mesh and with less pore size. This study is one of the firsts in vivo experimental study that has proven the mesh shrinkage. The principles hernia repair as detailed by Amid parvez et all takes this into consideration and advocates an overlap of 2 cm medially,3 cm above and 5 to 6 cm laterally in case of inguinal hernia repair.
