Progress in synthetic materials for abdominal wall repair
To improve overall patient outcome after abdominal wall surgery, including patient discomfort, chronic pain and thus quality of life, 3 issues are the pillars of this thesis: 1. Facilitation of surgical technique and the role of the materials used 2. Importance of correct flat positioning of a mesh …

Design and Validation of a Dynamic Pressure-Based Loading Device and 3D Strain Tracking Protocol for Ventral Hernia Modeling
… for determining the mechanical properties of the abdominal wall and biomaterials for hernia repair consist primarily of uniaxial and biaxial testing, which are not physiologically relevant loading environments. The need for a testing device that can exert physiologically relevant loads ex vivo to …

Flexible support scaffold for organ retraction in laparoscopic surgery
With millions of abdominal surgeries performed annually in the United States alone, abdominal surgery is both a large market and a large medial issue. The entire industry surrounding abdominal surgery has strived to reduce the pain and trauma associated with an operation by reducing the number and …

Therapie von Narbenhernien mit oder ohne Implantation von Kunststoff-Netzen : Ergebnisse der Klinik für Chirurgie der RWTH Aachen 1985-2000
Any defect on the abdominal wall can always cause the herniation of intra-abdominal organs. Combined with the possibility of incarceration, this herniation should be considered as a permanent danger to the patient. Moreover, an increase in size of the defect is always seen with time, leading to …

Comparative Analysis of Techniques for Opening the Anterior Abdominal Wall in Cesarean Section: Misgav Ladach Vs. Pfannenstiel // Сравнителен анализ на техниките за отваряне на предна коремна стена при цезарово сечение: Misgav Ladach и Pfannenstiel
… of the techniques for opening the anterior abdominal wall in cesarean section—Misgav Ladach and Pfannenstiel-Kerr—and to determine the advantages of the Misgav Ladach method. The study was designed as a retrospective and prospective analysis of 327 women who underwent cesarean delivery at …

Funktionelle und histologische Auswirkungen von Mesh-Implantaten im Tiermodell
… 3, 7, 14, 21 and 90 days. The deformation of the abdominal wall following intraabdominal pressure of 0-70 mmHg (0-9,81 kPa) is documented by 3D-Photogrammetry. The histological differences are shown especially for the amount of connective tissue and inflammatory cells. The meshes with reduced …

Untersuchung des intraabdominellen Druckes im Verlauf der Laparostomatherapie
… or trauma, the primary closure of the abdominal wall is frequently impossible. Objective parameters for determination of the abdominal wall closure after laparostomy are not known yet. So far, the intra-abdominal pressure (IAD) has not been evaluated as a criterion regarding the …

Laparoscopy and loop colostomy : a new approach to extra-peritoneal rectal injuries
… of a diverting sigmoid loop colostomy through an abdominal wall trephine, in a limited number of carefully selected patients with isolated extra-peritoneal rectal injuries. The patient is thus spared a major laparotomy wound. The value of distal rectal washout and presacral drainage in such …

Zugkräfte in der Leistenregion unter standardisierten Bedingungen am Tiermodell
… stresses were imposed by (a) increasing the intraabdominal pressure actively by choughing and (b) passively by a small and a large pneumoperitoneum, (c) isolated maximal electrical stimulation of muscles of the abdominal wall and (d) straightening up into an uprigt position. Changes of …

Die Gefäßarchitektur der Bauchwand und ihre Stellung in der Plastischen Chirurgie : eine anatomische Untersuchung
… surgical interventions as in abdominoplasty or abdominal flap surgery e.g. TRAM-flaps, VRAM-flaps, DIEP-flaps and SIEA-flaps are frequent. Aim of this study is to define territories of the abdominal wall which run the risk of decreased vascularisation in order to optimise plastic surgical …

Tensiometrie bei der Leistenhernienreparation nach Shouldice
… it was possible to analyse the elasticity of the abdominal wall. Additionally the influence of rising intraabdominal pressure (IAP) on TS by coughing or abdominal press was measured. Analysing elasticity an elasticity of 3.13 ± 0.29 N/cm during adaptation and 6.50 ± 0.66 N/cm during extension was …

Epidemiological, Environmental, and Biological Risk Factors for Gastroschisis
<p>Gastroschisis, a congenital defect of the abdominal wall, manifests as external herniation of viscera, most commonly the fetal bowel. The worldwide prevalence of gastroschisis continues to rise, and this increase can also be seen in California with an overall birth prevalence of 2-3 per 10,000 …

In-vivo-Untersuchungen zur Gewebeverträglichkeit einer neuartigen, leichtgewichtig-großporigen Mesh-Generation zur Narbenhernienreparation
… recurrence rates following reinforcement of the abdominal wall by Meshes has promoted their increasingly widespread use. The extent of the scar tissue is markedly regulated by the amount and structure of the incorporated material and is responsible for the rate of local wound complications. …

Large offspring syndrome, a bovine model for the human loss-of-imprinting overgrowth syndrome Beckwith-Wiedemann
… characterized by macrosomia, macroglossia, and abdominal wall defects. BWS has been associated with misregulation of two clusters of imprinted genes. Children conceived with the use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) appear to have an increased incidence of BWS. As in humans, ART can …
