Repair of Orbital Post-Traumatic Wall Defects by Custom-Made TiNi Mesh Endografts.

ABSTRACT: Repairs of orbital post-traumatic and extensive malignant defects remain a major surgical challenge, in view of follow-up outcomes. Incorrect surgical management of injured facial structures results in cosmetic, ophthalmic, and social aftereffects. A custom-made knitted TiNi-based mesh (KTNM) endograft was employed to overcome post-surgical complications and post-resected lesions of the orbital area. Preoperative high-resolution computed tomography (CT) imaging and CAD modelling were used to design the customized KTNM in each case. Twenty-five patients underwent surgery utilizing the suggested technique, from 2014 to 2019. In all documented cases, resolution of the ophthalmic malfunction was noted in the early period. Follow-up observation evidenced no relapsed enophthalmos, hypoglobus, or diplopia as late complications. The findings emanating from our clinical observations allow us to claim that the KTNM indicated a high level of biocompatibility. It is simply modified intraoperatively to attach any desired shape/size for implantation and can also be screw-fixed, providing a good supporting ability. The KTNM precisely renders orbitozygomatic outlines and orbital floor, thus recovering the anatomical structure, and is regarded as an attractive alternative to Ti-based meshes and plates. Additionally, we report one of the studied cases, where good functional and cosmetic outcomes have been achieved.

Project description:ObjectiveAbdominal wall hernias are common abdominal diseases, and effective hernia repair is challenging. In clinical practice, synthetic meshes are widely applied for repairing abdominal wall hernias. However, postoperative complications, such as inflammation and adhesion, are prevalent. Although biological meshes can solve this problem to a certain extent, they face the problems of heterogeneity, rapid degradation rate, ordinary mechanical properties, and high-cost. Here, a novel electrospinning mesh composed of polylactic acid and silk fibroin (PLA-SF) for repairing abdominal wall hernias was manufactured with good physical properties, biocompatibility and low production cost.Materials and methodsFTIR and EDS were used to demonstrate that the PLA-SF mesh was successfully synthesized. The physicochemical properties of PLA-SF were detected by swelling experiments and in vitro degradation experiments. The water contact angle reflected the hydrophilicity, and the stress‒strain curve reflected the mechanical properties. A rat abdominal wall hernia model was established to observe degradation, adhesion, and inflammation in vivo. In vitro cell mesh culture experiments were used to detect cytocompatibility and search for affected biochemical pathways.ResultsThe PLA-SF mesh was successfully synthesized and did not swell or degrade over time in vitro. It had a high hydrophilicity and strength. The PLA-SF mesh significantly reduced abdominal inflammation and inhibited adhesion formation in rat models. The in vitro degradation rate of the PLA-SF mesh was slower than that of tissue remodeling. Coculture experiments suggested that the PLA-SF mesh reduced the expression of inflammatory factors secreted by fibroblasts and promoted fibroblast proliferation through the TGF-β1/Smad pathway.ConclusionThe PLA-SF mesh had excellent physicochemical properties and biocompatibility, promoted hernia repair of the rat abdominal wall, and reduced postoperative inflammation and adhesion. It is a promising mesh and has potential for clinical application.
