A unique case of ventral incisional hernia following mesh disruption during laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Andrew M O'neill, MD1, Katherine H Yancey, MD2. 1MAHEC, 2Mission HealthIntroduction: Ventral incisional hernias (VIH) are one of the most common morbidities following abdominal surgery. Although many remain asymptomatic, others can lead to severe complications. Literature review reveals rates of incisional hernia are 13-20% and recurrence following mesh repair is up to 13%. We discuss a rare… Continue Reading

Evaluation of intraperitoneal tissue attachments to biologically derived surgical meshes in a rabbit model
Hannah B Baker, PhD, Adam Young, PhD, Thomas Gilbert, PhD. ACell Inc.The utility of biologically derived surgical meshes relies on their capacity to integrate with host tissue and remodel over time. However, development of mesh attachment to viscera after intraperitoneal placement must be minimized to limit risk of bowel obstruction and intestinal fistula. Herein, the… Continue Reading
