No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study utilizes the same tissue specimens gathered for previous investigations and removed from 15 patients already operated for inguinal hernia, who for different reasons needed additional surgery in the previously operated groin.

Conditions

  • Inguinal Hernia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Inguinal hernia repair with dynamic prosthesis

Tissue specimens excised at the above defined postoperative stages were fixed in neutral-buffered 10% formalin and routinely processed to paraffin wax. Sections (4 μm thick) were cut and stored at room temperature until use. Sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H\&E) for histological analysis and Azan trichrome (Bioptica) staining to evaluate muscular tissue in the implant fabric.
