Tensiometric analysis of meshes used in abdominal ventral wall defects in rats

ABCD (São Paulo, Impr.); 30 (3), 2017
ABSTRACT Background: Among the various strategies to avoid exaggerated foreign body reaction in the treatment of hernias is the limitation of the amount of polypropylene or the use of absorbable material. Aim: To evaluate the healing of defects in the abdominal wall of rats, comparing microporous polyp...

Effect of platelet-rich plasma on polypropylene meshes implanted in the rabbit vagina: histological analysis

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (4), 2017
ABSTRACT Purpose The polypropylene mesh (PPM) is used in many surgical interventions because of its good incorporation and accessibility. However, potential mesh-related complications are common. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) improves the healing of wounds and is inexpensive. Thus, the purpose of this stu...

Herniorrafia inguinal convencional com tela autofixante versus videolaparoscópica totalmente extraperitoneal com tela de polipropileno: resultados no pós-operatório precoce

Rev. Col. Bras. Cir; 44 (3), 2017
RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar o resultado no pós-operatório precoce do tratamento da hérnia inguinal pela técnica convencional com tela autofixante versus videolaparoscópica totalmente extraperitoneal com uso da tela de polipropileno. Foram comparados, sobretudo, dor, tempo cirúrgico e complicações p...

Peritoneal adhesions type i, iii and total collagen on polypropylene and coated polypropylene meshes: experimental study in rats

ABCD (São Paulo, Impr.); 30 (2), 2017
ABSTRACT Background: Hernia correction is a routinely performed treatment in surgical practice. The improvement of the operative technique and available materials certainly has been a great benefit to the quality of surgical results. The insertion of prostheses for hernia correction is well-founded in ...

Comparative study of Polypropylene versus Parietex composite®, Vicryl® and Ultrapro® meshes, regarding the formation of intraperitoneal adhesions

Acta cir. bras; 32 (2), 2017
Abstract Purpose: To compare the polypropylene mesh (Marlex®) to Vicryl®, Parietex composite® and Ultrapro® meshes to assess the occurrence of adhesions in the intraperitoneal implantation. Methods: Sixty Wistar rats were allocated into three groups: PP+V, in which all the animals received a poly...

Comparison between polypropylene and polypropylene with poliglecaprone meshes on intraperitoneal adhesion formation

Rev. Col. Bras. Cir; 43 (6), 2016
ABSTRACT Objective: to compare intraperitoneal adhesion formation in rats when using polypropylene and polypropylene with poliglecaprone meshes. Methods: we used twenty male, Wistar rats, divided in two groups. In group 1, the rats received the polypropylene mesh on their right side and the polypropyl...

Histological response to platelet-rich plasma added to polypropylene mesh implemented in rabbits

Int. braz. j. urol; 42 (5), 2016
ABSTRACT Introduction: The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is part of a set of biotechnologies, providing some growth factors that promote repair of different tissues. The polypropylene meshes (PPM) are applied in the correction of abdominal defects, pelvic floor and urinary incontinence, however, they induc...

Ventral abdominal wall defect correction in rats with contaminated meshes

Acta cir. bras; 31 (10), 2016
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To investigate whether there is a difference between Marlex(r) and Dynamesh PP-light Marlex(r) meshes, in the abdominal wall defect correction, on rats in contaminated surgical site. METHODS: Twenty-eight Wistar rats were divided into two groups of 14, and four subgroups of seven anim...

Host inflammatory response to polypropylene implants: insights from a quantitative immunohistochemical and birefringence analysis in a rat subcutaneous model

Int. braz. j. urol; 42 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT Objectives To describe acute and sub acute aspects of histological and immunohistochemical response to PP implant in a rat subcutaneous model based on objective methods. Materials and Methods Thirty rats had a PP mesh subcutaneously implanted and the same dissection on the other side of abdo...

Treatment of abdominal wall hernia with suture, or polypropylene, or collagen prosthesis

Acta cir. bras; 31 (6), 2016
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To develop an experimental model for incisional hernias and to compare morphological and functional aspects of hernia repairs by suture, polypropylene mesh and collagen mesh. METHODS: A defect measuring 7cm x 2cm was created in the anterior abdominal of 28 New Zealand male rabbits, di...
