Neomyogenesis in 3D Dynamic Responsive Prosthesis for Inguinal Hernia Repair

2018

Despite undisputed improvements, prosthetics hernia repair continues to be affected by unacceptable rates of complications. Postoperative adverse events such as discomfort and chronic pain represent a subject of increasing concern among the surgical community. Poor quality biologic response, stiff scar plates, and mesh shrinkage, a typical effect of conventional static meshes and plugs, are all indicated as the main reasons for many of the complications related to inguinal hernia repair. Even the conventional concept of treatment based upon a supposed reinforcement of the groin consequent to the fibrotic incorporation of meshes, would appear to be inadequate in the light of the latest scien…

Femoral, Direct, and Rare Inguinal Hernias in Children-An Update.

2017

AbstractPediatric surgeons deal with inguinal hernias on a regular basis. While most of these are straightforward in terms of diagnosis and therapy, occasionally what initially sounds like a routine case turns out to be a perplexing conundrum. This review discusses rare and unusual findings in the groin area that may mimic an indirect inguinal hernia, but are not. To provide good and effective care, pediatric surgeons should be readily familiar with the possible differential diagnosis of these entities, along with their specific management. In general, laparoscopy is one of the most useful interventions to discern unusual groin pathology from standard indirect inguinal hernias and in many c…

Acute inflammatory response after inguinal and incisional hernia repair with implantation of polypropylene mesh of different size.

2005

The purpose of this study was to assess the modifications of interleukin (IL)-6, C-reactive protein (CRP), leukocytes and fibrinogen after implantation of polypropylene mesh.Thirty-six patients were included in this study and divided into two groups. To the first group were allocated patients affected by inguinal hernia and undergoing conventional repair (subgroup Ia) or hernioplasty with 40-cm(2) polypropylene mesh (subgroup Ib). To the second group were allocated patients affected by incisional hernia and undergoing conventional repair (subgroup IIa) or incisional hernia repair with 400-cm(2) polypropylene mesh (subgroup IIb). Peripheral venous blood samples were collected 24 h before sur…

Neo-nervegenesis in 3D dynamic responsive implant for inguinal hernia repair. Qualitative study.

2020

Abstract Background Prosthetic repair of inguinal hernias is one of the most performed surgical procedures. Nevertheless, high rates of complications affect the surgical treatment. Implant fixation, poor-quality tissue ingrowth and mesh shrinkage seem to be involved in postoperative complications, discomfort and chronic pain following inguinal hernia repair. To address these issues a multilamellar shaped 3D dynamic responsive prosthesis has been developed. This new implant, positioned fixation-free to obliterate the hernia opening, thanks its inherent dynamic compliance during inguinal movements, has demonstrated to induce an enhanced biological response. The ingrowth of newly formed muscle…

First-in-man permanent laparoscopic fixation free obliteration of inguinal hernia defect with the 3D dynamic responsive implant ProFlor-E®. Case repo…

2020

Abstract Introduction In the case of inguinal hernia recurrence after primary anterior repair, international guidelines strongly suggest a posterior laparoscopic approach. The 3D dynamic-responsive prosthesis for inguinal hernia repair ProFlor-E® has recently been introduced to the market. The present report describes the results of the first-in-man laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair carried out with ProFlor-E®. Presentation of case A 71-year-old male Caucasian presented with recurrent inguinal hernia after primary anterior repair. A fixation free TAPP procedure with ProFlor-E® was planned. Implant delivery and placement to obliterate the defect was quick and safe. Postoperatively, startin…

A regenerative 3D scaffold for inguinal hernia repair. MR imaging and histological cross evidence. Qualitative study

2021

Abstract Background Inguinal hernia is a degenerative disease occurring in a high motile surround. Stopping degeneration and promoting tissue regeneration should be the treatment goal. Groin hernias are conventionally managed with static flat meshes, mostly fixated to the delicate inguinal environment. Far from a regenerative effect, the biologic response of conventional hernia meshes is characterized by a foreign body reaction leading to a stiff/shrunken scar plate, which is often the source of unpleasant complications. Recently, a newly engineered 3D device for inguinal hernia repair – ProFlor-has been developed to produce a regenerative biological response. Unlike conventional hernia mes…

Histological findings of the internal inguinal ring in patients having indirect inguinal hernia

2009

BACKGROUND: Aiming to deepen the understanding of the factors involved in the genesis of groin hernia, this study is focused on identifying the histological changes within the muscle fibers of the internal inguinal ring in patients having indirect inguinal hernia. METHODS: In eight patients with primary or recurrent bilateral indirect inguinal hernia who underwent a Stoppa open posterior inguinal hernia repair, a tissue specimen from the edge of the internal inguinal ring was biopsied and histologically examined. RESULTS: In all of the tissue samples, remarkable degenerative changes such as fibrohyaline degeneration of the muscle fibers, vascular congestion, and phlogistic infiltration thro…

1583 Clinical and Ultrasound Examination after Unilateral Orchiopexy

2012

Aim To compare testis volume and ultrasound texture post unilateral orchiopexy with the other side. Methods Clinical re-examination and ultrasound measurement of testicle volume and echostructure were performed in 99 children after unilateral orchiopexy, performed between 2003 and 2007. Results Intraoperatively, 30 testis were described as hypoplastic. further 5 patients displayed pathologic funicular structures. On Follow-up clinical exam, 45 patients displayed a small or atrophic testis on the side of surgery. In 10 patients, the testis was described as bigger on the side of surgery. On ultrasound, 65 patients had similar pictures on the side of surgery compared to the other side. In the …
