A clinically relevant in vivo model for the assessment of scaffold efficacy in abdominal wall reconstruction [PDF]

, 2016
Copyright © The Author(s) 2017. An animal model that allows for assessment of the degree of stretching or contraction of the implant area and the in vivo degradation properties of biological meshes is required to evaluate their performance in vivo. Adult

Rectus sheath pulsed radiofrequency treatment for anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome: A case report

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports
Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome is pain caused by compression of the anterior cutaneous branch of the intercostal nerve as it passes from the posterior sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle through the rectus abdominis muscle. In this report,

New Use of an Absorbable Adhesion Barrier (INTERCEED) for Temporary Diverting Ileostomy in Minimally Invasive Rectal Surgery

Journal of Coloproctology, 2022
Objectives Sometimes, severe adhesion occurs between the rectus abdominis muscle and the ileal intestinal limbs after temporary diverting ileostomy. This can make ileostomy reversal difficult.

Development of the abdominal musculature in the chicken embryo

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
In this study, we investigate anatomy, morphogenesis, segmental origin, and fiber formation of the abdominal musculature in the chicken embryo. We show that abdominal muscles arise from somites 24 to 28, and that the segmental identity of individual fibers in the abdominal muscle sheets is maintained.

Reconstruction of Abdominal Wall Defects Using a Pedicled Anterolateral Thigh Flap including the Vastus Lateralis Muscle: A Report of Two Cases

Case Reports in Surgery, 2016
The purpose of abdominal wall reconstruction is to prevent hernias and protect the abdominal viscera. In cases involving full-thickness defects of the rectus abdominis muscle, the muscle layer should be repaired.

An investigation of the functional significance of the pyramidalis muscle using shear wave elastography

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The pyramidalis (Py) is a small triangular‐shaped anterior abdominal wall muscle, the function of which remains uncertain. We used shear wave elastography to test the hypothesis that Py contributes to stiffness of the linea alba. Our results indicate that Py contraction results in a significant increase in LA stiffness, supporting the previously ...
