Comparative analysis of autodermal graft and polypropylene mesh use in large incisional hernia defects reconstruction.

Background: Large defects of the abdominal wall caused by incisional hernia still represent a challenging problem in plastic, reconstructive, and abdominal surgery. For their successful tension-free repair a proper selection of reconstructive material is essential. In the last decades, the use of synthetic meshes was dominant while biological autodermal grafts were rarely used.

Intermittent or continuous occlusion of hepatic inflow.

The Aim Of The Study: The aim was to compare the effects of intermittent and continuous inflow occlusion on liver I/R injury in an experimental model.

Method: The experiment was done using the Wistar rats that underwent continuous and intermittent inflow liver vascular occlusion. Blood and liver tissue samples were taken and parameters of hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury were analyzed and compared.
