Evaluation of Bioresorbable Surgical Meshes by Ultrasound

Physics of Wave Phenomena
We report a new approach to the quantitative ultrasonic examination of resorbable surgical meshes used for abdominal hernia. Information about the current state of a resorbable mesh is important for monitoring the prosthesis integration and the healing processes. The method presumes two successive steps.

Surveillance of Surgical Meshes in Ventral Hernias and Unpredictability of Their History

Annals of Surgery, 2018
: The authors read the article "The importance of registries in the postmarketing surveillance of surgical meshes" by Kockerling et al, and they completely agree on the role of a clinical follow-up of surgical meshes even if they suggest that a surveillance longer than one year is advisable, particularly in IPOM repair, to collect not only late ...

Surgical Considerations for Vaginal Mesh Complications

2018
Vaginal mesh complications have been in the FPMRS zeitgeist from the last 10 years. Pelvic surgeons have had to address this controversy head on over the last decade. When considering the higher rate of complications related to the use of synthetic mesh for vaginal prolapse, there have been two main schools of thought.

Foreign-Body Carcinogenesis of Surgical Meshes

2004
Foreign-body-related carcinogenesis is controversially discussed in biomaterial research. Malignancies after implantation of a huge variety of foreign bodies are well described in rodent animal models. In these models nonporous or microporous materials induce sarcoma-like tumors after an average implantation interval of 1.5 to 2 years.

Seeking new surgical predictors of mesh exposure after transvaginal mesh repair

International Urogynecology Journal, 2016
The purpose of this study was to explore new preventable risk factors for mesh exposure.A retrospective review of 92 consecutive patients treated with transvaginal mesh (TVM) in the urogynecological unit of our university hospital. An analysis of perioperative predictors was conducted in patients after vaginal repairs using a type 1 mesh.

MPs call for urgent ban on surgical mesh

BMJ, 2018
MPs have called on the government to urgently suspend all mesh implant operations and for the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to bring forward guidelines on using mesh in stress related urinary incontinence from 2019 to 2018. Leading the debate in the House of Commons on 19 April, Emma Hardy, MP for Kingston upon Hull West and

Surgical meshes containing animal products should be labelled [PDF]

BMJ, 2011
Surgical techniques to repair hernia in the abdominal wall have evolved. Repair with suture alone is associated with a high risk of recurrence, and use of mesh has become routine in contemporary practice. Advances in molecular biology and tissue engineering have furthered the development of surgical meshes.

An Evaluation of Surgical Mesh in the Repair of Hernias and Tissue Defects [PDF]

Archives of Surgery, 1962
An extensive literature has accumulated on the use of various tissues, metals, and synthetic materials for reinforcing hernia repairs and for bridging tissue defects. There is a wide difference of opinion concerning the necessity and value of such prostheses in hernia repair. It would appear that, too often, the use of these substances is based more on

In Vitro Analysis of a Nanocrystalline Silver-Coated Surgical Mesh

Surgical Infections, 2007
One million nosocomial infections occur each year in patients with prosthetic devices. We analyzed a polypropylene mesh coated with nanocrystalline silver particles (NCSP) as a means of preventing such infections.Nanocrystalline silver was applied to polypropylene mesh using physical vapor deposition in three doses: low (0.31 mg/cm(2)), medium (0.64 mg/

Porosity of surgical mesh fabrics: New technology

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research, 1989
A new method using an image processing system developed in our laboratories is used to measure the pore size in Mersilene, Marlex, and Teflon surgical meshes. All three meshes appear to have sufficiently large pores and should facilitate tissue growth/attachment. Results obtained in this study are compared to results of an earlier paper.
