ABSTRACT

Incisional hernias occur in 5-20% of patients after abdominal surgery. Suture repair has been abandoned because of their recurrence rate. The goal of a successful repair is to diminish recurrence, pain and complications. The use of substitution materials has reduced recurrence from 50 to 24%. In occasions this material has to be in direct contact with abdominal viscera or peritoneum, which in return can lead to complications like adhesions, fistulas or occlusion. The purpose of this study is to compare different mesh materials with an animal model. Mesh was placed by laparoscopy on the abdominal wall and the animals were explored at 7, 14 and 21 days to classify the state of adhesions. Visual scales were used and our study revealed that depending of the different days the Proceed mesh was the one with the least adhesions, although it doesn’t mean it won’t produce some of them.
