Disease relevance of Hernia, Abdominal

CONCLUSION: Progressive preoperative pneumoperitoneum allows direct repair of some large abdominal hernias with a low recurrence rate, and few complications [1].

High impact information on Hernia, Abdominal

Using this technique, 85 consecutive midline abdominal hernias were repaired over an 11-year period [2].
Multilayer laminates of ICL crosslinked with a water-soluble carbodiimide (EDC) were evaluated as a tissue repair material in a rabbit abdominal hernia model [3].
Effects of fibrin glue and growth factors released from platelets on abdominal hernia repair with a resorbable PGA mesh: experimental study [4].
Abdominal hernia after fasciotomy of the external oblique muscle for abdominal wall closure in TRAM surgery [5].
Abdominal hernia with formation of a urate concretion in a cockatiel [6].

Chemical compound and disease context of Hernia, Abdominal

Introduction of polyethylene terephthalate mesh (KoSa hochfest) for abdominal hernia repair: an animal experimental study [7].
METHODS: The adhesion formation and stability of intraperitoneal abdominal hernia repairs with DualMesh (macroporous ePTFE mesh with a microporous component) and PolyesterComposite (the newly developed polyurethane-covered Dacron mesh) were compared in a rat model [8].
Enormous abdominal hernia: technetium-99m labeled RBC study [9].

Gene context of Hernia, Abdominal

The aim of this study was to assess the production of VEGF and b-FGF in wound drainage fluid from patients undergoing incisional abdominal hernia repair [10].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Hernia, Abdominal

Recurrence rates are as high as 49% when an autogenous repair is performed, and as high as 11% when prosthetic mesh is used as a "bridge" or "onlay." METHODS: This study analyzes results of midline abdominal hernia repair in 106 cases using prosthetic mesh, in the retrorectus position, as described by Stoppa and Wantz [11].
