Objective: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the results of using fluoropolymer-coated mesh during intraperitoneal onlay mesh hernia repair in patients with primary ventral hernias.
Material And Methods: The multicenter, non-randomized, controlled clinical study included 88 patients of both sexes who were operated on using a laparoscopic approach using the IPOM technique for a primary ventral hernia. The duration of observation ranged from 3 to 12 months.
Objective: The objective of the study was to analyze histological changes in the site of the meshes FTOREX, FTOREX coated with carboxymethylcellulose, Ventralight ST, Symbotex, REPEREN-16-2 and decellularized porcine peritoneum on the parietal peritoneum of the pig.
Material And Methods: At laparoscopy, 6 different meshes were placed intraperitoneally in each of the 3 pigs. After 90 days, the animals were taken out of the experiment.
Testing of pregnant women reveals weakening of neutrophil-mediated effector functions, such as reactive oxygen species generation. This study provides data confirming the phenomenon, gained through application of the flow cytometry technique. Key factors influencing neutrophil functional activity in blood plasma of pregnant women have not been detected so far.
