Meta-analysis of closure of the fascial defect during laparoscopic incisional and ventral hernia repair.
(Wiley, 2016-08-22)Laparoscopic incisional and ventral hernia repair (LIVHR) is being used increasingly, with reported outcomes equivalent to those of open hernia repair. Closure of the fascial defect (CFD) is a technique that may reduce ... -
Supplemental cross-linking in tissue-based surgical implants for abdominal wall repair.
(Elsevier, 2012)There are a number of commercially available tissue-based surgical implants for use in repairing abdominal wall defects. The role and effect of supplemental cross-linking present in some of these implants has been questioned ... -
Systematic review and meta-analysis of the role of metronidazole in post-haemorrhoidectomy pain relief.
(Wiley, 2017-09)Conventional haemorrhoidectomy is still considered the reference standard for the management of severe or recurrent haemorrhoids. Pain is reported by patients to be the most common postoperative complication. Although the ... -

Diaphragmatic crural augmentation utilising cross-linked porcine dermal collagen biologic mesh (Permacol) in the repair of large and complex para-oesophageal herniation: a retrospective cohort study
(Springer, 2015-05-01)OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety, efficacy and durability of selective integration of porcine dermal collagen (Permacol) biologic mesh for crural re-construction in large or complex para-oesophageal hernia surgery. ... -
Parietex™ Composite mesh versus DynaMesh(®)-IPOM for laparoscopic incisional and ventral hernia repair: a retrospective cohort study.
(Royal College of Surgeons, 2016-09-23)INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic incisional and ventral hernia repair (LIVHR) is widely accepted and safe but the type of mesh used is still debated. We retrospectively compared postoperative outcomes with two different meshes ... -
Onlay parastomal hernia repair with cross-linked porcine dermal collagen biologic mesh: long-term results.
(Springer, 2015-12-21)The optimal technique and mesh type for parastomal hernia repair have yet to be ascertained. Biologic meshes have been advocated in parastomal hernia repair due to purported resistance to infection in contaminated fields. ...
