Anisotropic evaluation of synthetic surgical meshes
Hernia, 2010The material properties of meshes used in hernia repair contribute to the overall mechanical behavior of the repair. The anisotropic potential of synthetic meshes, representing a difference in material properties (e.g., elasticity) in different material axes, is not well defined to date. Haphazard orientation of anisotropic mesh material can contribute

Design of surgical meshes – an engineering perspective
Technology and Health Care, 2004There is an increasing use of meshes to surgically repair or reconstruct anatomical defects. The surgical mesh firmly augments the debilitated area, provides a tension-free repair and facilitates the incorporation of fibrocollagenous tissue into the surgical mesh.

NICE responds to surgical mesh article
BMJ, 2018The life changing complications that affect some women after vaginal mesh procedures should prompt us all to reflect on how the health system should monitor and respond to potential harms from any intervention, medicine, or device. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence first made recommendations about the use of mesh in its ...

The failure of polypropylene surgical mesh in vivo
Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 2018Surgical mesh materials made from fibres of polypropylene (PP) have been widely used for over fifty years. However in recent times the use of these materials has been called into question for certain surgical operations, known as "pelvic organ" or "transvaginal" procedures.

Surgical Techniques for Removing Problematic Mesh
Clinical Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2013The use of mesh and graft in pelvic reconstructive surgery has increased over the last decade. As the use of these products increased, the frequency and complexity of mesh-related complications has also increased. Management of complications resulting from mesh placement requires a thoughtful, systematic approach.

The Surgical Nightmare: Dealing with Infected Mesh [PDF]
, 2017 The use of mesh has become standard in abdominal wall hernia repair. Infection of the implanted mesh in surgery of hernias and other major and complex abdominal wall reconstruction is one of the most significant consequences of this type of surgery. In most cases antibiotics and mesh-saving conservative operations may not be sufficient to eradicate the

Mesh Excision by Vaginoscopy: Surgical Technique
Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques Part B, Videoscopy, 2015Abstract Introduction: Mesh erosion through the vagina is the most important complication of pelvic organ prolapse repairs using synthetic mesh. The initial surgical approach to treat this complication is usually the vaginal access. Nevertheless, transvaginal mesh excision may have some technical difficulties.

PVDF as a new polymer for the construction of surgical meshes
Biomaterials, 2002Abdominal hernia repair is the most frequently performed operation in surgery. Mostly due to lowered recurrence rates mesh repairs in hernia surgery have become an integral component despite increasing mesh-related complications. Current available mesh prosthesis are made of polypropylene (PP). polyethylene-terephtalat or polytetrafluorethylene. though
