Platelet-Rich Fibrin-Mesh Technique for Inguinal Hernia Repair: Results of a Feasibility Pilot Study.

Background: Open mesh repair is one of the most frequently performed general surgery operations worldwide. Unfortunately, the classic technique using stitches to fix the mesh is still associated with a high risk of chronic pain. We propose a new technique that uses autologous Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) to fix the mesh.

Challenging removal of a knotted nasogastric tube following insertion under general anaesthetic.

A 74-year-old man presented with acute small bowel obstruction secondary to recurrence of a caecal tumour. The patient underwent laparotomy and formation of loop ileostomy and had a nasogastric tube (NGT) inserted in the theatre. A decision was made to remove the patient's NGT postoperatively, which was found to be stuck.

Omentum a powerful biological source in regenerative surgery.

The Omentum is a large flat adipose tissue layer nestling on the surface of the intra-peritoneal organs. Besides fat storage, omentum has key biological functions in and . Omentum biological properties include neovascularization, haemostasis, tissue healing and regeneration and as an incubator for cells and tissue cultivation.

Role of exploratory laparoscopy in haemodynamically stable patient with a penetrating abdominal trauma.

A young lady presented to the hospital following a penetrating abdominal trauma. She was haemodynamically stable during the initial assessment. Despite fruitless finding from blood test, plain radiograph and computed tomographic scanning, a bowel contusion was found during an explorative laparoscopy.

Biological baseline of joint self-repair procedures.

Gel-Repairer is a biomaterial composed of Polydeoxyribonucleotides (Pdrn), Heat Shock Proteins (Hsps) and a thickening substance. It works as a local mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) stimulator, finally generating connective tissue renewal. Our research is within the field of regenerative medicine and has historically built its foundation from the studies carried out on non-vital amnion and placental membranes.

Self-repair in degenerative joint disease.

This study presents a method for treating and structurally improving articulations affected by degenerative joint disease (DJD). The focus of this analysis is on two groups of patients: the first comprised patients over eighty years old, and the second comprised patients aged 45 to 55 years. The first group was a high surgical risk and both had been nonresponders to current conservative therapies.
