Erasmus University MC investigating new surgical matrix to reduce post-operative complications - Compelo Medical Devices. The synthetic and fully resorbable TIGR Matrix surgical mesh (Novus Scientific, Uppsala − Sweden) might be an interesting candidate for the prevention of complications frequently observed with permanent mesh placement, according to Professor Johan Lange of the Erasmus University in Rotterdam − the Netherlands.
A common complication occurring in about 20% of patients undergoing laparotomy is incisional hernia – the protruding of abdominal organs due to surgery-related tissue weakness. “Recent research by the R.E.P.A.I.R. study group of the Erasmus University Medical Center has shown that surgical matrices can prevent incisional hernia after laparotomy, but it is well known that permanent meshes can cause severe complications, including seromas, infections, and persistent pain. There is an unmet need for an effective and safer alternative to permanent meshes for several indications in abdominal wall hernia surgery,” explained Professor Lange.

By Christina Frangou Michael Kavic, MD, a hernia surgeon and editor-in-chief of the Journal of the Society of Laparoscopic Surgeons, is calling on practicing surgeons, surgical educators and medical device manufacturers to re-evaluate their approach to inguinal hernia repair, recommending less reliance on synthetic mesh repair as the go-to method for repairing inguinal hernias.
In a presentation at Minimally Invasive Surgery Week, Dr. Kavic called the incidence of chronic pain after mesh hernia repair a “potential time bomb for the surgical community and medical device suppliers. “The surgical community, as well as the industry that garners huge profits from the use of synthetic materials, must address this troubling issue,” said Dr. How The Use Of Surgical Mesh Changed Hernioplasty, Maybe Not For the Better. Some 30 years later, a new problem emerged.
According to tracking data, anywhere from 11 to 16 percent of patients were reporting chronic, disabling abdominal pain beginning several months after the procedure. Kavic says inherent qualities of surgical mesh might be the culprit, calling attention to research conducted by Robert Bendavid, MD. “What Bendavid found out by looking at explanted mesh — removed — was that it became distorted,” Kavic says.
“We knew that. It shrunk, we knew that. The problem arises when, in open surgery, tissue is cut for the mesh to be placed in position. Mesh-related infections after hernia repair surgery - Falagas - 2004 - Clinical Microbiology and Infection. Abstract Clinicians have been challenged in the past few years by an increasing variety of novel non-infectious and infectious complications following the widespread use of meshes after open or laparoscopic repair of hernias.
Hernia Repair Mesh-Associated Mycobacterium goodii Infection. A 65-year-old former rancher and current restaurateur underwent ventral abdominal and right indirect inguinal hernia repairs in January 2003 at a Colorado hospital.
Prosthetic mesh material was used for the surgical repair. Eighteen days later he noticed redness and swelling at the operative site. One day later, because of fever, chills, rigors, and increasing wound swelling and pain, he was admitted to a community hospital. A computerized tomogram (CT) demonstrated an abdominal wall fluid collection, and the patient was transferred to our facility for further care. The patient was febrile upon admission (temperature, 38.8°C). Azu_etd_mr_2016_0242_sip1_m. CD 2014.

PubMed Central, FIG. 1.: Surg Infect (Larchmt). 2015 Feb 1; 16(1): 45–53. doi: 10.1089/sur.2014.026. Evolution of Hernia Repair Leading the Way in Resorbable Implantable Solutions. To overcome some of the challenges with biologic grafts, while maintaining their significant advantages in the treatment of complex hernia, synthetic resorbable mesh has emerged on the market in recent years.
There are three companies currently offering solutions, Bard - Phasix mesh, WL Gore – BioA, and Novus Scientific - TIGR surgical mesh. Both Phasix and TIGR resemble conventional mesh, but use resorbable fibers, while BioA features a fibrous non-woven matrix. The most significant challenge for synthetic resorbable mesh, similar to biologic grafts, is to offer sufficient strength and support throughout the time it takes for tissue to integrate and heal around the implant.
These meshes have been well received in the market, offering a more cost effective alternative to biologic grafts. Liesbreuk operatie zonder kunststof matje.

Study Finds Most Hernia Meshes Fail After Infection. BEYOND REPAIR A new study examines when you can salvage infected mesh.
Not only are mesh infections common after ventral hernia repairs, but they often take more than a year to develop and they're likely to be unsalvageable. Those are among the key findings of a study presented by Vedra A. Augenstein, MD, at the 2015 Clinical Congress of the American College of Surgeons. They're based on 161 infected patients who were referred to the Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, N.C., over a 10-year period.
The study now encompasses more than 200 patients, says Dr. The Carolinas team has tried to salvage all cases — using combinations of antibiotics, vacuum-assisted closure and/or debridement and percutaneous drainage — but has succeeded only with MRSA-free non-smokers who had lightweight polypropylene implants and no fistulas. Overall, the salvage rate has been about 10%, including 33% for patients with lightweight polypropylene and 8% for polytetrafluoroethylene. Jim Burger. Effective Techniques For Preventing Incisional Hernias Revealed - General Surgery News. By Christina Frangou Chicago—Two large randomized trials from the Netherlands have demonstrated that surgeons can substantially reduce a patient’s risk for developing an incisional hernia after a midline laparotomy by using either a mesh-layered reinforcement or a “small bites” suture technique to close.
“As surgeons, you really do have opportunities to prevent incisional hernias,” said Johannes J. Jeekel, MD, PhD, of Erasmus University Medical Center, in Rotterdam, as he presented results from the two trials at the 2015 Clinical Congress of the American College of Surgeons. The first study—the Primary Mesh Closure of Abdominal Midline Wound (PRIMA) trial—was a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial involving 11 centers in Europe.
It compared the commonly used technique of running suture closure with closure using a sublay or onlay mesh. Insightra Medical Announces FDA Clearance of The Freedom Octomesh Ventral Hernia System. (PRWEB) May 28, 2015 Insightra Medical, Inc., a leader in the field of fixation-free hernia repair, announced that FDA cleared its ventral hernia system for use in the United States. Octomesh™ carries on the commitment of Insightra to provide products that seek to reduce the amount of postoperative pain that hernia patients are known to experience. The Freedom Octomesh™ Ventral Hernia System is a unique kit, consisting of a strap passer tool and the revolutionary Octomesh™ implant. The system negates the need for slow, time-consuming suture fixation of sublay and pre-peritoneal hernia implants used in the treatment of ventral hernia.
"The system simplifies and standardizes the well-recognized sublay and retro-rectus approach to ventral hernias," says Oliver Pokk – Sr. The system has been cited in several medical journals and successful results have been presented at many international hernia meetings – including the recent 1st World Hernia Conference in Milan, Italy.
