Modifying hernia mesh design to improve device mechanical performance and promote tension-free repair.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:Approximately 348,000 ventral hernia repairs are performed annually in the United States and the incisional hernia recurrence rate is approximately 20% as a result of suture and mesh device failure. Device failure is related to changes at the suture/tissue interface that leads to acute or chronic suture pull-through and surgical failure. To better manage mechanical tension, we propose a modified mesh design with extensions and demonstrate its mechanical superiority. METHODS:Comparative uniaxial static tensile testing was conducted on polypropylene suture and a modified mesh. Subsequently, a standard of care (SOC) mesh and modified mesh were evaluated using a tensometer in an acute hernia bench-top model. RESULTS:Modified mesh breaking strength, extension knot breaking strength, extension disruption, and extension anchoring were superior to suture (p?

Parastomal Hernia Repair with Intraperitoneal Mesh.

Project description:Purpose:Parastomal hernia is a common complication following a stoma and may cause leakage or incarceration. No optimal treatment has been established, and existing methods using mesh repair are associated with high recurrence rates and a considerable risk for short- and long-term complications including death. A double-layer intraperitoneal on-lay mesh (IPOM), the Parastomal Hernia Patch (BARD™), consisting of ePTFE and polypropylene, has been developed and tailored to avoid recurrence. To evaluate the safety of and recurrence rate using this mesh, a nonrandomised prospective multicentre study was performed. Method:Fifty patients requiring surgery for parastomal hernia were enrolled. Clinical examination and CT scan prior to surgery were performed. All patients were operated on using the Parastomal Hernia Patch (BARD). Postoperative follow-up at one month and one year was scheduled to detect complications and hernia recurrence. Results:The postoperative complication rate at one month was 15/50 (30%). The parastomal hernia recurrence rate at one year was 11/50 (22%). The reoperation rate at one month was 7/50 (14%), and further 5/50 (10%) patients were reoperated on during the following eleven months.

Report of novel application of T-line hernia mesh in ventral hernia repair.

Project description:IntroductionVentral hernia repair is one of the most common surgeries performed in the United States. Failure of hernia repairs can be attributed to sutures pulling through tissue or mesh (anchor point failure). T-Line Hernia Mesh is the first mesh designed to specifically prevent anchor point failure by distributing tension. This case study of two patients is the first clinical application of the novel T-Line Hernia Mesh.Presentation of caseTwo separate patients presented with symptomatic ventral hernia secondary to previous laparotomy. Patient 1 is a fifty-five year-old male who underwent open ventral hernia repair with T-Line Hernia Mesh onlay placement. Patient 2 is a fifty-eight year-old female with a symptomatic ventral hernia that underwent bilateral component separation and primary hernia repair with T-Line Hernia Mesh. Both patients postoperative course was uneventful with no reported surgical site occurrences or hernia recurrence.DiscussionT-Line Hernia Mesh provides a new innovative approach to hernia surgery. This provides the first clinical outcomes. No complications were observed. In addition, this manuscript also demonstrates the surgical technique for the first time.ConclusionThis cases and technical description provides the initial report for a new designed T-Line Hernia Mesh that could result in a paradigm shift in hernia surgery concepts.

Mesh-fixation technique for inguinal hernia repair: umbrella review.

Project description:BackgroundMesh-based repair is the standard of surgical care for symptomatic inguinal hernias. Many systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SRMAs) addressed various aspects of these procedures. This umbrella review aimed to report the evidence from all previous SRMAs for open and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.MethodsSRMAs were identified from MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane, Embase, DARE, PROSPERO, CINAHL, JBISRIS, EPPI-Centre, Wiley Online Library and ScienceDirect database according to PRISMA guidelines. Data including mesh-fixation techniques and surgical approach were extracted from selected SRMAs. The corrected covered area was calculated to address study overlap across reviews, and an excess significance test was used to assess potential bias. The outcomes of interest were hernia recurrence, chronic groin pain, operating time, postoperative pain, duration of hospital stay, return to daily life activities, and postoperative complication.ResultsThirty SRMAs were included between 2010 and 2019: 16 focused on open repair, and 14 focused on laparoscopic repair, with a high degree of overlap (open repairs, 41 per cent; laparoscopic repairs, 30-57 per cent). Sufficient evidence was available on hernia recurrence, chronic groin pain, and operative time. Effects of glue on hernia recurrence were inconclusive in open and laparoscopy approaches, P = 0.816 and 0.946 respectively. Glue was significantly associated with lower persistent groin pain, in open repair (versus suture) and in laparoscopic repair (versus tack). SRMAs suggested that self-gripping mesh was associated with shorter operating time in open surgery, although with only a few minutes of improvement (0.36-7.85 min, P < 0.001).ConclusionIn this umbrella review, chronic groin pain and operating time were the only outcomes for which there was sufficient evidence supporting the effectiveness respectively of glue and self-gripping mesh.

Trocar-guided total tension-free vaginal mesh repair of post-hysterectomy vaginal vault prolapse.

Project description:INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The objective of this study was to report 1 year anatomical and functional outcomes of trocar-guided total tension-free vaginal mesh (Prolift) repair for post-hysterectomy vaginal vault prolapse with one continuous piece of polypropylene mesh. METHODS: We conducted a prospective observational cohort study of 46 patients. A minimum sample size of 35 patients was needed to detect a recurrence rate of less than 20% at 12 months. Instruments of measurement used were pelvic organ prolapse quantification and validated questionnaires. RESULTS: Overall anatomical success was 91% (95% confidence interval 83-99), with significant improvement in experienced bother and quality of life. Mesh exposure occurred in seven patients (15%). No adverse effects on sexual function could be detected. CONCLUSIONS: Trocar-guided total tension-free vaginal mesh (Prolift) repair with one continuous piece of mesh for post-hysterectomy vaginal vault prolapse is well tolerated and anatomically and functionally highly effective. Results of controlled trials will determine its position in the operative armamentarium.

Outcomes of Biosynthetic and Synthetic Mesh in Ventral Hernia Repair.

Project description:The introduction of mesh for reinforcement of ventral hernia repair (VHR) led to a significant reduction in hernia recurrence rates. However, it remains controversial whether synthetic or biologic mesh leads to superior outcomes. Recently, hybrid mesh consisting of reinforced biosynthetic ovine rumen (RBOR) has been developed and aims to combine the advantages of biologic and synthetic mesh; however, outcomes after VHR with RBOR have not yet been compared with the standard of care.MethodsWe performed a retrospective analysis on 109 patients, who underwent VHR with RBOR (n = 50) or synthetic polypropylene mesh (n = 59). Demographic characteristics, comorbidities, postoperative complications, and recurrence rates were analyzed and compared between the groups. Multivariate logistic regression models were fit to assess associations of mesh type with overall complications and surgical site occurrence (SSO).ResultsPatients who underwent VHR with RBOR were older (mean age 63.7 versus 58.8 years, P = 0.02) and had a higher rate of renal disease (28.0 versus 10.2%, P = 0.01) compared with patients with synthetic mesh. Despite an unfavorable risk profile, patients with RBOR had lower rates of SSO (16.0 versus 30.5%, P = 0.12) and similar hernia recurrence rates (4.0 versus 6.78%, P = 0.68) compared with patients with synthetic mesh. The use of synthetic mesh was significantly associated with higher odds for overall complications (3.78, P < 0.05) and SSO (3.87, P < 0.05).ConclusionCompared with synthetic polypropylene mesh, the use of RBOR for VHR mitigates SSO while maintaining low hernia recurrence rates at 30-month follow-up.

Successful repair of a rectovaginal fistula caused by a tension-free vaginal mesh (TVM): a case report.

Project description:Rectovaginal fistula caused by a tension-free vaginal mesh (TVM) is a rare condition. Moreover, a rectovaginal fistula is a challenging issue to address for surgeons regardless of causes. Due to a low rate of occurrence, treatment modality for a rectovaginal fistula caused by a TVM has previously received little attention. A successful surgery using several key techniques to address a rectovaginal fistula caused by a TVM is herein reported. A 78-year-old woman who underwent a TVM for a rectocele three months ago was referred to our hospital with a two-month history of anal bleeding. Mesh protruding into both the vagina and the rectum was confirmed. The patient was operated on under diagnosis of a rectovaginal fistula caused by TVM. TVM was removed by transvaginal dissection of the rectovaginal septum with division of both anterior and posterior arms of the TVM. Layer-to-layer sutures of rectal and vaginal walls were crossly performed with a drain placed in the rectovaginal septum after saline irrigation followed by a covering sigmoid colostomy. The wound healed without infection after surgery, and a water-soluble contrast enema demonstrated the healing of the rectovaginal fistula two months after surgery. No recurrent fistula was confirmed 15 months after stoma closure.

Comprehensive systematic review on the self-gripping mesh vs sutured mesh in inguinal hernia repair.

Project description:ObjectiveThe objective of this systematic review is to analyse the randomised control trials (RCTs) comparing the self-gripping mesh (SGM) with sutured mesh fixation (SMF) in open inguinal hernia repair.Materials and methodsRCTs comparing SGM with SMF in open inguinal hernia repair were selected from medical electronic databases and analysis was performed using the principles of meta-analysis with RevMan version 5 statistical software.ResultsSeventeen RCTs involving 3863 patients were used for the final analysis. In the random effect model analysis, the operative time [mean difference - 7.72, 95 %, CI (-9.08, -6.35), Z = 11.07, P = 0.00001] was shorter for open inguinal hernia repair with SGM. However, there was noteworthy heterogeneity (Tau2 = 4.24; Chi2 = 1795.04, df = 12; (P = 0.00001; I2 = 99 %) among the included studies. The incidence of chronic groin pain [odds ratio 1.17, 95 %, CI (0.88, 1.54), Z = 1.09, P = 0.28], postoperative complications [odds ratio 0.92, 95 %, CI (0.73, 1.16), Z = 0.71, P = 0.48] and recurrence [odds ratio 1.31, 95 %, CI (0.80, 2.12), Z = 1.08, P = 0.28] were statistically similar between both groups, without heterogeneity.ConclusionSGM failed to demonstrate a clinical advantage over SMF in terms of perioperative outcomes although the duration of surgery was shorter in SGM.
