"Nanotechnologies Applied to General Surgery and Emergency Surgery: Buckypaper as a New Fixing Method for Prosthetic Materials for the Treatment of Hernia and Incisional Hernia in Laparotomy and Laparoscopic

Summary

"Nanotechnologies applied to General Surgery and Emergency Surgery: The Buckypaper as a new fixing method for prosthetic materials in the treatment of abdominal wall hernias, diaphragmatic hernias, diaphragmatic rupture, incisional hernia and abdominal wall disaster in laparotomy procedure and laparoscopic procedures". Experimentation on breed pig Lantrace ANIMAL MODEL.

Conditions

• Hernia
• Incisional Hernia

Interventions

DEVICE

PPL fixation by BP

A surgical scar was performed on the abdominal linea alba and carried out deeply into a pocket between large abdominal muscle and abdominal fascia. A pocket was created between the two layers. 5cm PLL prosthesis was implanted and fixed by BP patch. The scar was sutured with absorbable stitches on subcutaneous incision and not absorbable stitches on the cutaneous layer.
