title: [Biomaterials science. English vocabulary and its equivalents in Polish medical literature].
abstract: The ever-increasing use of biomaterials in many areas of medicine has led to a significant increase of reports concerning medical materials science. Much of the vocabulary used in English literature lacks proper unambiguous equivalents in the Polish language; inaccurate translations are frequent, leading to significant alterations of the meaning. The authors of this report have attempted to create a glossary of the terms pertaining to materials science most frequently encountered in herniological reports.
