Surgical Resection of Giant Chest Wall Chondrosarcoma Combined with Sandwich Chest Wall Reconstruction in One Case
CONCLUSION: The radical surgery of giant chest wall chondrosarcoma often leads to a large range of chest wall defects. Chest wall reconstruction needs to be carried out at the same time to restore the integrity and stability of the chest wall, to avoid chest wall softening and abnormal breathing, and to ensure the stability of respiratory circulation. Using the "sandwich" method for chest wall reconstruction, in which an anatomical plate is combined with hernia mesh and muscle soft tissue, and during which pleura, bony structure, and soft tissues are reconstructed, can provide more effective support for chest wall soft tis...

Spider-Silk-like Fiber Mat-Covered Polypropylene Warp-Knitted Hernia Mesh for Inhibition of Fibrosis under Dynamic Environment
In this study, three different commercial polypropylene hernia meshes were examined to explore the connection between the fabric structure and mechanical properties. In vitro dynamic culture was used to investigate the mechanism by which the mechanical properties of the mesh in a dynamic environment affect cell differentiation. Additionally, electrospinning was employed to create polycaprolactone spider-silk-like fiber mats to achieve mechanical energy dissipation in dynamic conditions. These fiber mats were then combined with the preferred hernia mesh. The results demonstrated that the composite mesh could reduce the acti...

Assessment of mesh shrinkage using fibroblast-populated collagen matrices: a proof of concept for in vitro hernia mesh testing
ConclusionsThis study has successfully demonstrated that commercial mesh products can be successfully integrated into free-floating contractile FPCMs. Not only this, but FPCMs are capable of applying a contractile force upon those mesh products —eliciting different levels of contraction between mesh products. Such findings demonstrate this technique as a useful proof of concept for future development of in vitro hernia mesh testing. (Source: Hernia)

Minimally Invasive Extended Totally Extraperitoneal Versus Transabdominal Retromuscular Ventral Hernia Mesh Repair: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: Both eTEP and TA-RM were found to have equal safety profile. Further high-quality studies evaluating patient reported outcomes and late recurrence may be useful. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42023429160.PMID:38150538 | DOI:10.1089/lap.2023.0342 (Source: Adv Data)

Development and Implantation of 3D Anatomically Tailored Polypropylene Mesh for Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair Designed on the Basis of CT Images (the ILAM Study)
CONCLUSIONS: The new mesh provides a better anatomic fit to the patients' inguinal region geometry. Mechanical stability is ensured by the multiple contact points between the implant and the tissues, which generate friction forces. Together with the possibility of shape design (proper overlap), the authors believe that there is no need for mesh fixation. If so, the use of such design meshes can change the guidelines in laparoendoscopic hernia repair in the future.PMID:37819833 | DOI:10.1177/15533506231208335 (Source: Surgical Innovation)
