Repair of Large Abdominal Wall Defect Using Glycerolized Bovine Tunica Vaginalis and Prolene Mesh Implants in Dogs

Abstract

The repair of large abdominal defects remains a complex surgical problem of insuffi cient autogenous tissue for adequate reconstruction. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the uses of polypropylene mesh with glycerolized tunica vaginalis (GTV) for repairing abdominal wall defects in dogs using either inlay or underlay technique of implatations. Full thickness (all the layers of muscles except the skin) abdominal wall defects (6 x 10 cm) were created in 24 healthy mongrel dogs allocated into two main equal group (n= 12 each) according to the type of the prosthetic material used. Each group is subdivided into two subgroup (n= 6 each).The present study indicated that, GTV Patches are considered to be a successful alternative for reinforcement and repair of large abdominal wall defects than prolene mesh based on postmortem fi ndings, biomechanical analysis and histopathological examination.

Clinical and Macroscopical Evaluation the Effects of Acellular Tunica vaginalis and Acellular Dermal Matrix on Reconstruction of Abdominal Wall Hernia in Bucks

“…, explained that the production of caprine acellular dermal matrix involves a regulated procedure that eliminates the cells from the dermis and the epidermis will maintaining the integrity of the basement membrane and extra cellular matrix. The same outcomes were obtained by Eberli et al (2010) and Abouelnasr et al (2017). In addition, the absence of graft rejection in present study may be related to the using of sublay fixation technique of sheet which, regarded by , Saeed et al (2014) and Ahmed and Mehboob (2019), is best hernioplasty technique than another technique of fixation like; onlay, inlay and underlay, because sublay technique has more advantages than others ones such as; less seroma formation, less wound infection and less recurrence rate.…”
