摘要

Hernia repair is one of the most frequently performed operations in surgical clinics. Tissue engineering provides insights for the treatment of abdominal wall hernias and other disorders involving deficiencies in the musculature. The present review summarizes the mechanisms of muscle development and regeneration and provides an overview of tissue engineering strategies for the construction of muscles.
