Introduction Although many surgeons have adopted the use of biologic and biosynthetic
meshes in complex abdominal wall hernia repair, others have questioned the use of these …

Large ventral hernias are a significant surgical challenge.“Loss of domain”(LOD) expresses
the relationship between hernia and abdominal volume, and is used to predict operative …

Introduction Information on the long-term performance of biosynthetic meshes is scarce. This
study analyses the performance of biosynthetic mesh (Phasix™) over 24 months. Methods A …

It is well accepted that the use of mesh has facilitated and improved outcomes following
repair of the complex abdominal hernias. Current mesh options include biologic, synthetic …

Background Near infra‐red angiography using Indocyanine Green (ICG) has increasingly
used as a tool for intraoperative diagnostics. Aims The aim of this review is to explore the …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Liver transplantation is a complex and valuable therapy.
However, complications that burden postoperative quality of life, such as incisional hernia …

Background In recent decades, biologic mesh (BM) has become an important adjunct to
surgical practice. Recent evidence-based clinical applications of BM include but are not …

Background Despite improved operative techniques, open ventral hernia repair (VHR)
surgery in high-risk, potentially contaminated patients remains challenging. As previously …

Background Patients requiring ventral hernia (VH) repair during perioperative chemotherapy
have a higher risk for post-operative complications. The aim of the study was to perform a …

Aim: Biologically derived surgical graft materials come from a variety of sources with varying
mechanical properties. This study aimed to evaluate the host response and mechanical …
