Macroporous Surgical Mesh from a Natural Cocoon Composite
ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, 2022 Recently, traditional polymer-based surgical meshes have drawn unwanted attention as a result of host tissue complications arising from infection, biocompatibility, and mechanical compatibility. Seeking an alternative solution, we present a hierarchically structured nanofibrous surgical mesh derived from the naturally woven cocoon of the Japanese giant

Leveraging Vision and Kinematics Data to Improve Realism of Biomechanic Soft-tissue Simulation for Robotic Surgery [PDF]
, 2020 Purpose Surgical simulations play an increasingly important role in surgeon education and developing algorithms that enable robots to perform surgical subtasks. To model anatomy, Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations have been held as the gold standard for calculating accurate soft-tissue deformation. Unfortunately, their accuracy is highly dependent

The Importance of Registries in the Postmarketing Surveillance of Surgical Meshes
Annals of Surgery, 2018 Objective: To assess the role of registries in the postmarketing surveillance of surgical meshes. Background: To date, surgical meshes are classified as group II medical devices. Class II devices do not require premarket clearance by clinical studies.

ENDOSCOPIC MANAGEMENT OF MESH MIGRATION FOLLOWING HIATAL HERNIA REPAIR [PDF]
ABCD: Arquivos Brasileiros de Cirurgia DigestivaBACKGROUND: The use of mesh in the repair of large hiatal hernias is still controversial. One of the most feared adverse events related to the use of mesh is erosion into the esophageal and gastric walls. AIMS: To record the endoscopic treatment of mesh

Biodegradation of Surgical Polypropylene Meshes
The FASEB Journal, 2019 Surgical meshes of a variety of materials, such as polypropylene, are commonly used in many procedures to support tissues. From our previous studies on polypropylene meshes, samples of mesh removed from patients often demonstrated biodegradation proportional to the amount of time that had passed since implantation.
