Surgical correction of perineal hernia using polypropylene mesh.

A modified salvage technique in surgical repair of perineal hernia in dogs using polypropylene mesh

In 16 male dogs who suffered from perineal hernia, polypropylene mesh was used to close a defect in the pelvic diaphragm. Pelvic bone was drilled on the pelvic floor and mesh was sutured through holes by polypropylene suture. Strong pelvic diaphragm, good long-term results and time-sparing by this technique was achieved. Suture sinuses were developed in two dogs one month postoperatively. Objec...

Use of resterilized polypropylene mesh in inguinal hernia repair.

BACKGROUND Inguinal hernia repair consumes considerable health-care resources worldwide. Open mesh repairs are commonly used and the feasibility of using a resterilized mesh, which is a general practice in certain countries, has not been evaluated. STUDY DESIGN In this randomized prospective study, original and resterilized meshes were used in two groups of patients with unilateral inguinal h...

Unusual Perineal Hernia in a Dog and Its Surgical Management

Introduction The perineal swelling can be due to hernia, accumulation of fluid or some timorous growth however, perineal hernia is found to be most common cause of such swellings (Sharma et al., 2010). Perineal hernia is protrusion of the abdominal or the pelvic viscera through the pelvic diaphragm which supports the rectal wall (Tyagi and Singh, 2010). The pelvic diaphragm which controls entry...

Surgical mesh for ventral incisional hernia repairs: Understanding mesh design.

Surgical mesh has become an indispensable tool in hernia repair to improve outcomes and reduce costs; however, efforts are constantly being undertaken in mesh development to overcome postoperative complications. Common complications include infection, pain, adhesions, mesh extrusion and hernia recurrence. Reducing the complications of mesh implantation is of utmost importance given that hernias...
