Surface-Functionalized Polypropylene Surgical Mesh for Enhanced Performance and Biocompatibility.

ACS Applied Bio Materials, 2019
Polypropylene (PP) surgical mesh has attracted vast attention due to its chemical inertness and excellent mechanical properties. However, improvement is necessary to enhance its biocompatibility and to prevent unwanted tissue adhesion.

Robotic‐assisted ventral hernia repair with surgical mesh: how I do it and case series of early experience

ANZ journal of surgery, 2019
Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair provides several benefits over the open approach. Intraperitoneal surgical mesh placement without fascial defect closure is associated with increased seroma formation and other adverse hernia‐site outcomes. Transfascial

In vitro characterisation of the erosion of soft tissues by surgical mesh.

Journal of The Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 2019
Surgical mesh is used widely in operations to treat hernias, prolapsed organs, urinary incontinence, etc. A major complication following surgery is so-called "mesh erosion", in which the mesh material rubs on adjacent soft tissue, causing it to wear away.

The failure of polypropylene surgical mesh in vivo.

Journal of The Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 2018
Surgical 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 ...

TIGR® matrix surgical mesh – a two-year follow-up study and complication analysis in 65 immediate breast reconstructions

Journal of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery, 2018
In recent years, it has become increasingly popular to use matrices, such as acellular dermal matrices, in implant-based breast reconstruction. To lower the cost and to avoid implanting biological material, the use of synthetic meshes has been proposed ...
