Title of Document: THE DELIVERY OF IGF-1 FOR SKELETAL MUSCLE REGENERATION WITHIN ABDOMINAL WALL HERNIAS Erin Elizabeth Falco, Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Directed By: Associate Professor, Dr. John P. Fisher, Fischell Department of Bioengineering At an ever increasing pace, synthetic biomaterials are being developed with specific functionalities for tissue engineering applications. These biomater...

Gastropexy via a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy has been used for fixation of the stomach to the anterior abdominal wall in patients with hiatal hernias who are poor candidates for more extensive procedures. Altered anatomic relationship of the stomach to other intra-abdominal organs and the abdominal wall may prevent safe placement endoscopically. Visualizing and manipulating the stomach ...

BACKGROUND Abdominal wall defects and hernias are commonly repaired with synthetic or biological materials. Adhesions and recurrences are a common problem. A study was conducted to compare Chitosan coated polypropylene mesh and a polypropylene-polydioxanone composite with oxidized cellulose coating mesh (Proceed™) in repair of abdominal wall defect in a Rabbit hernia model. METHODS A randomiz...

BACKGROUND forced repair of a giant abdominal wall defect end with unsatisfactory results despite development of prosthetics materials. The enlargement of abdominal wall dimensions could be realized altogether other methods with the aid of pneumo-peritoneum. The aim of the study is to evaluate early results of the method used for patients with giant incisional hernias. MATERIAL AND METHODS be...
