Currently, it is believed that the treatment of eventrations is not possible without the use of biomaterials. Although they
are used for several decades, being continuously studied and improved, now we are in a stalemate. Chemically, some
materials appear to be perfectly biocompatible but the physical and structural characteristics of different types of
prostheses are associated with various complications, including the risk of foreign body reactions, infection, seroma
formation, intestinal obstruction, extrusion of the implants, malposition, malrotation, erosion of cavitary viscera,
appearance of digestive fistulas, failure of reconstruction.
In an attempt to minimize these risks as much as possible, it is necessary to know the mechanisms of occurrence of
potential complications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
