Short-Term Outcomes Following Removal of Infected Hernia Mesh
Am Surg. 2021 Jul 15:31348211024189. doi: 10.1177/00031348211024189. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere are limited studies regarding outcomes of replacing an infected mesh with another mesh. We reviewed short-term outcomes following infected mesh removal and whether placement of new mesh is associated with worse outcomes. Patients who underwent hernia repair with infected mesh removal were identified from 2005 to 2018 American College of Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. They were divided into new mesh (Mesh+) or no mesh (Mesh-) groups. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyse...

Nanodiamond-chitosan functionalized hernia mesh for biocompatibility and antimicrobial activity
J Biomed Mater Res A. 2021 Jun 3. doi: 10.1002/jbm.a.37237. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPolypropylene (PP) mesh is most commonly used for the treatment of hernia and pelvic floor construction. However, some of the patients have a few complications after surgery due to the rejection or infection of the implanted meshes. The poor biocompatibility of PP mesh, low wettability results in poor cell attachment/proliferation and restricts the loading of antibacterial agent, leading to a slow healing process and high risk of infection after surgery. Here in this study, a new technique has been employed to develop a novel antimicr...

Systematic review on reporting of components and outcomes in randomized clinical trials of paraoesophageal hernia mesh repair
CONCLUSION: This lack of detail on the surgical intervention in POH repair RCTs prevents full understanding of what exact procedure was evaluated and how it should be delivered in clinical practice to gain the desired treatment effects. Improved focus on the definitions, descriptions and reporting of surgical interventions in POH repair is required for better future RCTs.PMID:33793727 | DOI:10.1093/bjs/znaa107 (Source: The British Journal of Surgery)

Giant pseudocyst of the abdominal wall following incisional ventral hernia repair: an extremely rare clinical entity. Report of a case
CONCLUSION: GPAWs are a rare clinical entity following IVH repair, which occur commonly in female obese patients treated with on-lay mesh positioning. The only effective and definitive treatment is a complete surgical excision along with a correct management of the dead space resulting from the surgical procedure, in order to reduce the recurrence rate.KEY WORDS: Abdominal wall, Incisional hernia, Mesh, Pseudocyst, Surgery.PMID:33764332 (Source: Annali Italiani di Chirurgia)

Mesh in Elective Hernia Repair: 10-Year Experience with over 6,000 Patients
Abdominal wall hernia mesh results in a low rate of mesh-related complication and excellent quality of life on long-term follow up. Younger age, female sex, worse preoperative pain, undergoing incisional repair, and longer operating room times are predictors of bothersome mesh sensation more than 6 months post operation.
