Incisional hernia is the most common indication for reoperation after abdominal surgery. Mesh hernioplasty is almost a gold standard of treatment, associated with the low recurrence rate. Study presents a case of usage of a fully reabsorbable mesh for successful sublay hernioplasty in recurrent incisional hernia with a past history of many wound complications. 14 science MEDtube Science Sep, 20...

OBJECTIVE Growth factors demonstrate mixed results improving wound healing. Amnion-derived multipotent cells release physiologic levels of growth factors and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases. This solution was tested in models of acute and chronic wound healing. METHODS Acute model: Sprague-Dawley rats underwent laparotomy incisions. The midline fascia was primed with phosphate-buffere...

Biomechanical studies of wound strength are important because of new investigations in growth factors, cytokines, and fetal wounds. We compared two traditional methods of wound disruption measurement with a novel computerized model designed for in vivo experiments. An Instron tensiometer (INSTS) and an air insufflated positive pressure device (AIPPD) were compared with a vacuum-controlled wound...

OBJECTIVES The period of post-operative treatment before surgical wounds are completely closed remains a key window, during which one can apply new technologies that can minimise complications. One such technology is the use of negative pressure wound therapy to manage and accelerate healing of the closed incisional wound (incisional NPWT). METHODS We undertook a literature review of this eme...

An interstitial hernia is one in which the hernia sac is located between the layers of the abdominal wall. The analysis of contemporary literature shows that interstitial hernias are most often seen in children as a type of inguinal hernia and often accompany undescended testis. The hernia sac is usually located between the external-oblique and internal-oblique muscles in a lateral-cephalic dir...

Multiple patient comorbidities and environmental factors increase the risk of incisional wound complications. The literature suggests that negative pressure therapy (NPT) on clean closed surgical incisions may help reduce the risk of wound infections and other complications. In this case study, NPT was applied in the operating room to clean closed surgical wounds in four high-risk patients (two...

AIM To characterise temporal changes in corneal wound repair at the LASIK flap margin. METHODS 18 rabbits received monocular LASIK and were evaluated during 6 months using slit lamp and in vivo confocal microscopy. In three corneas, the exposed stroma was stained with DTAF. At various time points, corneas were processed for histology and stained for nuclei, f-actin, ED-A fibronectin, alpha-sm...

Abstract INTRODUCTION Incisional hernia is the main complication after laparotomy, prevention of this currently aimed at preoperative rehabilitation, modification closure technique and use prophylactic mesh. The objective study was to measure effectiveness in laparotomy reduce incidence incisional hernia. MATERIAL AND METHODS. A systematic review meta-analysis were carried out following PRISMA ...
