To investigate whether there is a difference between Marlex(r) and Dynamesh PP-lightMarlex(r) meshes, in the abdominal wall defect correction, on rats in contaminated surgical site.
There was no statistical significance in the analysis of macroscopic variables. Accentuated inflammatory process was shown in all subgroups. The foreign body type reaction was mild in all subgroups, except Dynamesh(r)-14, which was moderate with no statistical significance. The microbiological analysis of the meshes was also similar between the subgroups.
CONCLUSION:
There was no difference between the meshes of Marlex(r) and Dynamesh PP-light(r) in the ventral abdominal wall defect correction on rats in contaminated surgical site.(AU)
