“…It is usually not easy to obtain a mesh that meets all of these criteria. To date, several materials have been used to manufacture prosthetic meshes, including knitted polypropylene [ 38 ], commercial polyester fabric [ 41 ], nylon, stainless steel [ 42 ], cotton [ 43 ], vicryl [ 44 ], expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) [ 45 ], ethylene terephthalate, carbon fibers [ 46 ], oxidized cellulose, polyethylene glycol, and hylan G-F20 [ 47 ]. There are currently 3 types of meshes: synthetic, composite, and biologic.…”

Techniques for Closing the Abdominal Wall in Intestinal and Multivisceral Transplantation: A Systematic Review

et al. 2022

Short bowel syndrome is the most common etiology of intestinal failure, resulting from either resections of different intestinal segments or a congenital condition. Due to the absence or considerable reduction of intestinal loops in the abdominal cavity, patients with short bowel syndrome present with atrophy and muscle retraction of the abdominal wall, which leads to loss of abdominal domain and elasticity. This complication is an aggravating factor of intestinal transplantation since it can prevent the primary closure of the abdominal wall. A vast array of surgical techniques to overcome the challenges of the complexity of the abdominal wall have been described in the literature. The aim of our study was to review the modalities of abdominal wall closure in intestinal/multivisceral transplantation. Our study consisted of a systematic review following the methodological instructions described in the PRISMA guidelines. Duplicate studies and studies that did not meet the criteria for the systematic review were excluded, especially those without relevance and an explicit relationship with the investigated theme. After this step, 63 articles were included in our study. The results obtained with these techniques have been encouraging, but a high incidence of wound complications in some reports has raised concerns. There is no consensus among transplantation centers regarding which technique would be ideal and with higher success rates and lower rates of complications.

“…Synthetic materials in hernioplasty are nowadays mostly replaced by the use of biological materials such as fibrin hydrogel, alginate, chitosan, hyaluronic acid and acellular collagen grafts. The excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability and low antigenicity make collagen one of the most useful biomaterials [ 37 ].…”

“…To avoid these complications, the prosthetic material should be inert but strong. Among the synthetic materials, polypropylene has these characteristics and is suitable for use even in the presence of infection and contamination [ 37 ]. The prostheses used to reduce the surgical breach and facilitate the reconstruction of the abdominal wall are represented not only by polypropylene or polyester nets but also by alloplastic membranes of Gore-Tex [ 23 ].…”

Background: Umbilical hernia is one of the most common developmental defects in swine, producing large economic losses for farmers, forced to slaughter animals at a younger age and therefore at a lower weight to prevent fatal complications. This study describes a surgical technique to repair umbilical hernia through the use of autologous prostheses, allowing recovery of the affected animals; Methods: After a general examination of the swine and examination of the lesions, the swine were anesthetized and underwent surgery. The surgery was performed by combining the traditional herniorrhaphy with the inclusion and fixation of a peritoneal flap obtained from the incision of the same hernial sac; Results: Follow-ups were carried out at 7, 30 and 60 days and demonstrated healing in all of the treated subjects; Conclusions: The use of this surgical technique allows for providing resistance to herniorrhaphy performed through the use of a cost-free autologous biomaterial prosthesis, with excellent tissue compatibility. This might allow for reducing significantly the rate of relapses and eliminating the risk of rejection.
