Challenging abdominal incisional hernia repaired with platelet-rich plasma and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells. A case report.

Introduction: The necessity to develop new treatment options for challenging procedures in hernia surgery is becoming even more evident and tissue engineering and biological technologies offer even newer strategies to improve fascial healing. The present case reports a patient-tailored surgical technique performed to repair a grade IV abdominal incisional hernia, with a combined use of platelet-rich plasma and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells, implanted on a biological mesh.

Presentation Of The Case: A 71 year-old female patient complained of an abdominal incisional hernia, complicated by enterocutaneous fistula, four-months following laparostomy.
