Gentamicinbeschichtung von Polyvinylidenfluorid-Netzmaterialien zur Infektionsprophylaxe bei Hernien-Reparationen
A gentamicin supplemetated PVDF mesh for hernia repair was constructed and analyse in vitro in regard of antibiotic effectiveness, gentamicin release and cytotoxicitiy. In vivo tests regarding biocampatibility (Ki67, CD68, TUNEL) were performed in an animal rat model. The gentamicin coating showed …

Risk of incarceration of inguinal hernias among paediatric patients awaiting elective surgery at the university teaching hospital, Lusaka, Zambia.
Inguinal hernias in infants and children are very common. One of their most common complications before surgery is incarceration, a life threatening condition with potential to cause severe short term and long term morbidities like bowel ischaemia, testicular atrophy and its resultant infertility, …

Design and Validation of a Dynamic Pressure-Based Loading Device and 3D Strain Tracking Protocol for Ventral Hernia Modeling
It is estimated that 350,000-500,000 ventral hernia repair surgeries are performed each year in the United States. While the long-term recurrence rate of ventral hernia repairs is not yet known, when tissues are exposed to the trauma of surgery, there is always the chance of recurrence. Commonly …

Funktionelle und histologische Auswirkungen von Mesh-Implantaten im Tiermodell
Only the use of biomaterials for incisional hernia repair is able to reduce the recurrence rates markedly. Disadvantages are foreign-body-reaction, infections, adhesions, local wound complications like seromas and restriction of mobility by the rigid "shell". Three different types of mesh materials …
