The aim of the study was to evaluate biosynthetic absorbable mesh in single-staged contaminated (Centers for Disease Control class II and III) ventral hernia (CVH) repair over 24 months.CVH has an increased risk postoperative infection. CVH with synthetic or biologic meshes reported chronic biomaterial infections high recurrence rates.Patients a clean-contaminated operative field defect at least 9 cm had (open, sublay, retrorectus, intraperitoneal) fascial closure (n = 104). Endpoints...
Sutures under selective host/environmental factors can potentiate postoperative surgical site infection (SSI). The present investigation characterized microbial recovery and biofilm formation from explanted absorbable (AB) nonabsorbable (NAB) sutures infected noninfected sites. AB NAB were harvested (70.9%) (29.1%) sites in 158 patients. At explantation, devices sonicated processed for qualitative/quantitative bacteriology; scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Bacteria recovered 85 (53.8%)...
Circulating adiponectin levels are lower in individuals with increased BMI and central adiposity. However, they paradoxically higher those peripheral We hypothesized that secretion from adipose tissue depots may be associated adiposity its distribution. A total of 55 subjects (69% women) undergoing elective abdominal surgery (mean age: 53 ± 13 years) were recruited. Health history, anthropometrics, cardiovascular disease risk factor measurements obtained. Subcutaneous (SAT) visceral (VAT)...
Although multiple versions of polypropylene mesh devices are currently available on the market for hernia repair, few comparisons exist to guide surgeons as which device may be preferable certain indications. Mesh density is believed impact patient outcomes, including rates chronic pain and perception in abdominal wall.To examine whether medium-weight associated with less at 1 year compared heavy-weight mesh.This multicenter randomized clinical trial was performed from March 14, 2017, April...
Complex ventral hernia repairs pose unique challenges in high-risk patients with impaired tissue quality or contaminated fields. While traditional synthetic meshes are effective, their use these scenarios carries an increased risk of chronic inflammation and infection. Biologic bioabsorbable alternative options designed to provide a temporary scaffolding that supports healing while minimizing foreign body reactions. This paper explores the strengths limitations biologic, bioabsorbable,...
This study represents a prospective, multicenter, open-label to assess the safety, performance, and outcomes of poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB, Phasix™) mesh for primary ventral, incisional, or multiply-recurrent hernia in subjects at risk complications. reports 3-year clinical outcomes.P4HB was implanted 121 patients via retrorectus onlay technique. Physical exam and/or quality life surveys were completed 1, 3, 6,12, 18, 24, 36 months, with 5-year (60-month) follow-up ongoing.A total n = P4HB...
