| Researches for the ideal material for abdominal wall reconstructive procedures in Veterinary Medicine remains constant. Synthetic and biological materials are routinely studied, regarding the ability of abdominal support and reactivity of the host, both of them present advantages and disadvantages. This review analyzes the main characteristics of synthetic and biological materials currently in use, in order to compare the two of them. It was observed that biological materials have less reactivity by the host, but the strength of the synthetic materials is higher, even though, more expensive. The effort and research for the ideal material should remain active because the ideal one has not been found yet. |
