Efeitos da tela de polipropileno no testículo, epidídimo e ducto deferente de cães

Abstract: Objetivo: Investigar os efeitos da tela sintética sobre o testículo, epidídimo e ducto deferente de cães. Métodos: Foram utilizados 10 cães, machos, adultos, pesando entre 9 e 12 kg. Os animais, após realizada anestesia, foram submetidos à laparoscopia com formação de pneumoperitônio por incisão em linha mediana. Era então fixada tela de polipropileno, de dimensões 2,5X3,5 cm² na região inguinal esquerda do cão em contato direto com o funículo espermático, com o uso de grampos metálicos, sem dissecar a região.… Show more

“…However, this procedure became more popular towards the end of the 1980s with the use of tension‐free techniques and video laparoscopy [3,6,12–14]. As the insertion of a polypropylene mesh near the vas deferens induces an inflammatory process and adjacent fibrosis [1,15,16], there is a potential risk of vasal obstruction, leading to impaired fertility. The possible negative impact of the use of biomaterials in herniorraphy on the fertility status has not been entirely clarified [1,3,14–18].…”

“…According to these authors, these tissue reactions caused a contraction of the prosthesis, with reduction to 60% of its original size 14 . Goldenberg et al 15 , in a study carried out on ten dogs, observed the effects of the polypropylene prosthesis on the testicle, epididymis and vas deferens. Polypropylene prostheses were implanted in the animals' inguinal region and, thirty days later, they were subjected to another operation to remove their testicles and spermatic funiculus.…”

“…In addition, cryptorchidism or even epididymitis may eliminate the contralateral reproductive contribution 14 . From the works of Goldenberg et al 6 , and Goldenberg and De Paula 15 , it was clear that the inflammatory reaction provoked by the prosthesis extends to the spermatic cord and the vas deferens in much greater intensity when compared to the simple surgical manipulation without prosthesis implantation.…”

“…The adhesion caused by the mesh as well as infertility cases that followed its implantation, opened a wide field of research: Goldenberg 6 implanted a mesh unilaterally in 10 dogs and demonstrated focally in the testicle a decrease in spermatogenesis and degenerative process in 20% of the animals. the use of a prosthesis).…”
