AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to compare the effects of suturing versus not suturing the parietal peritoneum during midline laparotomies in rats on adhesion formation.
  • 40 adult albino Wistar rats participated, undergoing a two-step surgery: an initial laparotomy followed by a closure with or without sutures and then assessed for adhesions 40 days later.
  • The results indicated no significant difference in adhesion formation between the suture and nonsuture groups, regardless of the gender of the rats.

Article Abstract

Purpose: Compare the parietal peritoneum suture and nonsuture in midline laparotomies in rats, as for the formation of adhesions.

Methods: 40 adult albino Wistar rats (20 males and 20 females) underwent a surgery, weighing between 350 and 400 grams. After anesthesia, a midline laparotomy was performed, followed by cavity closure with and without peritoneum suture. After 40 days, the rats underwent a new surgery in order to verify the peritoneum and check if there were any adhesions, and the rats were then sacrificed.

Results: Statistical analysis showed there was no significant difference between the adhesions occurring or not with peritoneal suture or nonsuture, including in relation to the rats' gender.

Conclusion: Closing the peritoneum or not does not interfere with the formation of adhesions after midline laparotomies in rats from both genders.

Introduction: Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a current treatment option for peritoneal carcinosis (PC) after cytoreductive surgery (CRS). Genital skin alterations are rare complications reported variously after HIPEC using Mitomycin-C.

Presentation Of Case: A 42-year-old man with a diagnosis of stage IV colorectal cancer underwent CRS and HIPEC using mitomycin-C.

Purpose: The reconstruction of dura matter is a challenging problem for neurosurgeons. A number of materials for dural reconstruction have recently been developed, but some of them have poor biocompatibility, poor mechanical properties, and adverse effects. Bovine parietal peritoneum is a promising natural material for regenerative medicine and reconstructive surgery.

To introduce the experience of reconstructing the pelvic floor with a pedicled large omental flap combined with a basement membrane biological mesh in combined pelvic organ resection for locally advanced or locally recurrent rectal cancer combined with sacrococcygeal resection, and to discuss the feasibility, safety, and near-term therapeutic efficacy of this technique. For patients with sacrococcygeal resection of combined pelvic organs, a basement membrane mesh was used to rebuild the pelvic floor with a pedicled greater omentum flap to isolate the abdominopelvic cavity. The main operation was to pull the greater omentum, which preserved the double vascular arches, to the pelvic floor to cover the pelvic floor, and then the mesh was used to cover the posterior peritoneal defect and pelvic inlet with absorbable sutures of 2-0 or thicker.

Aim: Research studies with porcine acellular bladder matrix (PABM) showed integration of only small sized stamps in recipient bladders, however for clinical use in bladder augmentation significantly larger patches are needed. We hypothesised pre-vascularisation with omentum may be a step towards clinical translation.

Method: Eight domestic pigs were operated three times 8-10 weeks apart: 1-Implantation; PABM with recorded dimensions were sutured around a tissue expanding device, wrapped in omentum and sutured to the anterior abdominal wall.
