Background: The use of alloplastic meshes has been historically contra-indicated in patients with infection.
Aim: To evaluate the use of polypropylene meshes in the treatment of abdominal wall defects in rats with peritonitis.
Methods: Twenty Wistar female rats were divided into two groups: induction of peritonitis (test group) and without peritonitis (control group).
This report presents two cases of young males who developed the rare idiopathic form of sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) presented as partial bowel obstruction, both diagnosed during surgical treatment, with satisfactory outcomes. Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis is a rare and enigmatic condition, characterized by intraperitoneal fibrosclerosis, which causes intestinal obstruction. It is a chronic entity with a poorly elucidated pathophysiology, leading to the constitution of a thick white nacreous fibrosis membrane that wraps the bowel in a concertina-like fashion with some adhesions configuring an intra-abdominal cocoon.

Methods: Twenty Wistar rats were distributed into two groups: Control (dorsal skin flap, subdermal application of saline solution at 0.9%) and Study (dorsal skin flap, subdermal application of sildenafil).
Background: Anastomotic leakage is a major cause of mortality in colorectal surgery. Several methods have been evaluated in order to prevent anastomotic leakage, and was postulate that povidone-iodine irrigation of colon before anastomosis can improve anastomotic healing, prevent adhesion formation, and may be beneficial in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery.
Aim: To evaluates the efficacy of this agent in healing of colonic anastomosis in rats.
