Surface treatment of artificial implants with hybrid nanolayers: results of antibacterial tests, leachates and scanning electron microscope analysis.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of surface-treated hernia implants modified by a hybrid nanolayer with incorporated Ag, Cu, and Zn cations using the sol-gel method.

Methods: The materials (polypropylene, polyester, and polyvinylidene difluoride) were activated by vacuum plasma treatment or UV C radiation, then modified and tested for bacterial strains of (gram-negative) and (gram-positive). The AATCC 100 (2019) method for quantitative and the ISO 20645 agar plate propagation method for qualitative evaluation of microbiological efficacy were used.

Primary perineal hernia: a case report.

Introduction: We present the case of a female patient with anterior primary perineal hernia.

Case Report: Our 63-year-old obese patient presented with recurrent “inguinal hernia“ at the Hernia Centre of Liberec. However, she was diagnosed with perineal hernia and was indicated for hernioplasty.

The effects and use of negative pressure wound therapy - a set of case reports.

Modern medicine offers a wide spectrum of wound healing resources for acute or chronic wounds. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a very effective method, allowing complicated defects and wounds to heal. The basic set is usually provided with various special accessories to facilitate the use and support safe application of NPWT to high-risk tissue.

Current view on prostheses in herniology (hernia meshes) - classifications, indications, advantages and disadvantages of different implants, complications J. Skach, M. Slamborova, V. Blecher, P. Hromadka, R. Gurlich.

Hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures worldwide. Reinforcement of the tissue with a surgical mesh requires the implantation of much over 1 million meshes per year worldwide. Implant design remains a critical challenge for the prevention of hernia recurrence.

Two-stage surgical treatment of inferior vena cava traumatic rupture including urgent transport to a specialized unit.

Inferior vena cava injury as well as major liver injury remains a formidable treatment challenge. The most imminent danger is life-threatening bleeding. In this report, we present a case of polytrauma (Injury Severity Score 35) with arupture of the juxtahepatic inferior vena cava which was successfully treated using two-stage approach.
