UNLABELLED Ventral hernia is a common problem in general surgery practice. Incisional hernia can develop in 15-25% of patients after abdominal surgery. The aim of this study was to compare two different methods of incisional hernia surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of database of surgery department from 1997 to 2000 was performed. All patients were divided into two group...

We aimed to assess the subjective and objective outcomes 1 year after robotic sacrocolpopexy using a type I polypropylene mesh. This was a case series of 64 patients who underwent a robotic-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy using a type I monofilament polypropylene mesh coated with hydrophilic porcine collagen. Objective and subjective outcomes were assessed using the pelvic organ prolapse q...

Despite recent advances in geometric modelling, 3D mesh modelling still involves a considerable amount of manual labour by experts. In this paper, we introduce Mesh Draping: neural method for transferring existing structure from one shape to another. The drapes the source over target geometry and at same time seeks preserve carefully designed characteristics mesh. At its core, our deforms using...

background: up to today, the most complete risk assessment tool for repetitive movements of upper limbs has been the occupational repetitive actions (ocra) method. the index of the analysis is relatively accurate. several risk factors such as repeated motion, force, body condition, additional effective factors and return period can be useful for future preventive measures. the present study eva...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of laparoscopic hysteropexy, a surgical technique for the management of uterine prolapse, involving suspension of the uterus from the sacral promontory using bifurcated polypropylene mesh. DESIGN The investigation was designed as a prospective observational study (clinical audit). SETTING The study was undertaken at a tertiary refe...

We aimed to compare the long-term surgical outcome and complications of multiparous and grand multiparous women undergoing reconstructive surgery with vaginal mesh implants for repair of pelvic organ prolapse. This retrospective, long-term follow-up (28.17±20.7 months) comprised 113 women who underwent surgical reconstructive surgery with vaginal polypropylene mesh in a high parity rate populat...
