ABSTRACT Introduction: Perineal hernia is a protrusion of intra-abdominal viscera through a defect in the pelvic floor and is a rare but challenging complication after extensive abdominoperineal surgery. There have been small series published after colorectal exenteration, but no cases have been reporte...

Laparoscopic pectopexy: initial experience of single center with a new technique for apical prolapse surgery

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (5), 2017
ABSTRACT Objective: To share our first experience with laparoscopic pectopexy, a new technique for apical prolapse surgery, and to evaluate the feasibility of this technique.

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...

Anterior six arms prolene mesh for high stage vaginal prolapse: five years follow-up

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (3), 2017
ABSTRACT Introduction In high stage vaginal prolapse, recurrence risk patients, anterior and apical defects need to be addressed in the same procedure. The pre-molded commercial mesh kits are expensive and not always available. Alternative effective and safe treatment ways, with lower costs are desirab...

Stem cells hematopoietic niches and inflammatory response to different synthetic prosthesis implanted in rat with incisional hernias

ABCD (São Paulo, Impr.); 30 (2), 2017
ABSTRACT Background: Extramedullary hematopoiesis depends on complex pathophysiological mechanisms linked to hematopoietic stem cells and the proteins considered mediators of the inflammation. The identification of hematopoietic cells outside bone marrow in the adult is an occurrence that can occasiona...
