Purpose The occurrence of incisional hernia (IH) is one of the main complications after open abdominal surgery. However, its incidence in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery is not known. Studies on hepatectomy and necrotizing pancreatitis show that the incidence can reach up to 42%. This study aims at evaluating the incidence of IH and its risk factors. Methods Patients submitted to open hepatobiliary...
Objective We aimed to compare the clinical outcome of titanium-coated mesh and polypropylene mesh in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Methods A total of 102 patients who received laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in January–June 2016 in Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital were enrolled in this study. Patients were randomly divided into two groups, receiving either titanium-coated mesh (n = 50) or standard...
Purpose Use of polypropylene mesh (PPM) in hernia repair is associated with tissue reactivity. We examined, in a rat model, a novel non-biodegradable hydrogel coated PPM which may allow for decreased inflammation and a decreased foreign body reaction. Methods Through a dorsal midline incision, a 2 cm × 2 cm section of PPM (either coated or uncoated) was placed on the fascial surface 1.5 cm from...
Background Seromas after endoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair are still common to see, which could be a limiting factor that restrains the use of endoscopic TEP approach especially for complicated and severe inguinal hernia. Methods Retrospective researches were carried out on 478 cases of inguinal hernia who received endoscopic TEP hernia repair from March 2009 to March...
Background The patient’s own repair of a body wall defect would be enhanced by a mechanically robust, physically tailorable, bioresorbable mesh scaffold that: (1) supports rapid host tissue ingrowth and development, while (2) reducing the complications associated with permanent synthetic and allogenic and xenogenic biological implants. Methods A full-thickness 1-cm-diameter abdominal wall defect...
