Background: The use of biological materials for the repair of complex abdominal wall defects has increased over the years; however, the role of these materials in routine practice remains unclear. The aim of the study was to evaluate clinical outcomes following the use of Permacol™ porcine collagen surgical implant in complex abdominal wall repair.
Methods: This subset analysis of seven European sites from a multicentre retrospective study included patients undergoing open or laparoscopic surgery and treated with Permacol™ surgical implant.

Background: Seroma formation is a well-recognized complication associated with many operative procedures. Despite its ubiquity, a lack of definitive scientific understanding of the etiology, natural history, and biochemistry of seromas remains. We endeavored to create and examine seromas in a rat model in the setting of commonly used biologic implants and to examine the role of quilting sutures/mechanical fixation in mitigating seroma development.

The repair of complex abdominal wall defects in contaminated fields often presents a dilemma for general surgeons. Synthetic mesh, although strong, may lead to chronic infection or even visceral erosion. Leaving the abdomen open presents challenges for ward management and delays definitive care, as well as allowing the musculature to retract over time.

Non-permanent, non-woven options for the closure of an open abdomen have previously been limited to biologics such as Permacol or Strattice. Gore Bio-A is constructed from biocompatible synthetic fibres, the use of which has only been described in the repair of inguinal hernia, hiatal hernia and fistula-in-ano. A 60-year-old male underwent emergency laparotomy, partial gastrectomy and formation of a feeding jejunostomy for a strangulated and perforated intrathoracic hiatus hernia.
