Hydrogel hernia scaffolds.

Classification	Component	Functions	References
Natural Hydrogel Scaffolds	Collagen	Matrix deposition, angiogenesis, adipogenesis and skeletal muscle regeneration; Reduced postoperative adhesion, induced tissue re-mesothelialization	[284,300,301]
	Chitosan	Quick cellular response, rapid ECM deposition, and improved neovascularization	[302]
	Gelatin	Mild postoperative adhesion, sufficient neovascularization, induced collagen deposition and better collagen organization	[303]
	ECM Matrix	Anti-inflammatory response; Elevated myogenic differentiation; Reduced scaffold encapsulation; Increased wall thickness and enhanced cellular infiltration	[304,305,306]
	Cellulose	Effective prosthesis integration, induced tissue remodeling	[307]
	Fibrin	Reduced hernia recurrence, increased fibrosis	[308]
Synthetic Hydrogel Scaffolds	HA derivatives	Ameliorated postoperative peritoneal adhesion; Effective defect sealing	[309,310]
	GelMA	Anti-inflammation; Rapid collagen deposition	[311]
	PVA	Anti-Deformation, anti-adhesion, and pro-healing characteristics	[312]
	Resilin	High strength and super-toughness, outstanding biocompatibility, and reduced tissue adhesion	[313]
