The new mesh provides a better anatomic fit to the patients' inguinal region geometry. Mechanical stability is ensured by the multiple contact points between the implant and the tissues, which generate friction forces. Together with the possibility of shape design (proper overlap), the authors believe that there is no need for mesh fixation. If so, the use of such design meshes can change the guidelines in laparoendoscopic hernia repair in the future.
