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.

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

Seeking new surgical predictors of mesh exposure after transvaginal mesh repair
International Urogynecology Journal, 2016The 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, 2018MPs 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

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 ...

Porosity of surgical mesh fabrics: New technology
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research, 1989A 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.

Critical Anatomic Concepts for Safe Surgical Mesh
Clinical Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2013A comprehensive knowledge of the boundaries, contents, and interactions between surgical spaces is essential to safely and effectively perform mesh-augmented prolapse repairs and anti-incontinence procedures. This knowledge is also critical when managing intraoperative and postoperative complications such as bleeding, visceral injury, mesh erosion ...

Evaluation of Bioresorbable Surgical Meshes by Ultrasound
Physics of Wave PhenomenaWe 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.
