Abstract

Polish surgical polyester knitted nets Dallop sterilized by radiation were implanted and tested on Wistar rats. The results of the experimental evaluation are positive and lead to the conclusion that the Dallop radiosterilized polyester nets may be used in humans. The evaluated knittings fulfill the most up-to-date biological requirements and may be utilized as implantation material for plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Prevention of respiratory complications after abdominal surgery: a randomised clinical trial.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevention of respiratory complications after abdominal surgery by a comparison of a global policy of incentive spirometry with a regimen consisting of deep breathing exercises for low risk patients and incentive spirometry plus physiotherapy for high risk patients. DESIGN: Stratified randomised trial. SETTING: General surgical service of an urban teaching hospital. PATIENTS: 456 patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Patients less than 60 years of age with an American Society of Anesthesia classification of 1 were considered to be at low risk. OUTCOME MEASURES: Respiratory complications were defined as clinical features consistent with collapse or consolidation, a temperature above 38 degrees C, plus either confirmatory chest radiology or positive results on sputum microbiology. We also recorded the time that staff devoted to prophylactic respiratory therapy. RESULTS: There was good baseline equivalence between the groups. The incidence of respiratory complications was 15% (35/231) for patients in the incentive spirometry group and 12% (28/225) for patients in the mixed therapy group (P = 0.40; 95% confidence interval -3.6% to 9.0%). It required similar amounts of staff time to provide incentive spirometry and deep breathing exercises for low risk patients. The inclusion of physiotherapy for high risk patients, however, resulted in the utilisation of an extra 30 minutes of staff time per patient. CONCLUSIONS: When the use of resources is taken into account, the most efficient regimen of prophylaxis against respiratory complications after abdominal surgery is deep breathing exercises for low risk patients and incentive spirometry for high risk patients.

Greater risk of incisional hernia with morbidly obese than steroid-dependent patients and low recurrence with prefascial polypropylene mesh.

BACKGROUND: Incisional hernia is a serious complication of abdominal surgery. We compared incisional hernia frequency following gastric bypass (GBP) for morbid obesity versus total abdominal colectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis. A prefascial polypropylene mesh repair was also evaluated. PATIENTS AND METHODS: All patients had midline incisions, xiphoid to umbilicus in GBP patients and midepigastrium to pubis in IPAA patients. Fascia were closed with running No. 2 polyglycolic acid suture. Ninety-eight patients underwent prefascial polypropylene mesh repair; 80 were GBP patients, 46 had 1 previous repair, and 17 had 2 to 9 previous repairs (6 with properitoneal mesh). RESULTS: Incisional hernia occurred in 20% (198/968) of GBP patients (19% without versus 41% with a previous hernia, P < 0.001) versus 4% (7/171) of the IPAA patients (P < 0.001), of whom 102 (60%) were taking prednisone (32 +/- 2 mg/d) and 5 were quite obese (body mass index > or = 30 kg/m2). Additional risk factors for hernia in GBP patients included wound infection, diabetes, sleep apnea, and obesity hypoventilation. For the 98 patients who underwent prefascial polypropylene mesh repair, the mean follow-up was 20 +/- 2 months (range 6 to 104), and complications occurred in 35% of patients, including minor wound infection (12%), major wound infection (5%), seroma (5%), hematoma (3%), chronic pain (6%), and recurrent hernia (4%). CONCLUSIONS: Severe obesity is a greater risk factor for incisional hernia and hernia recurrence than chronic steroid use in nonobese colitis patients. A prefascial polypropylene mesh repair minimizes recurrence.

Intra-abdominal sepsis impairs colonic reparative collagen synthesis.

BACKGROUND: Intra-abdominal infection is generally considered a contraindication to primary colon anastomosis. In order to elucidate the mechanisms by which sepsis affects colonic healing, we studied anastomotic new collagen and protein synthesis and collagen gene expression in a relevant animal model. METHODS: Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats (240 to 260 g) underwent sham laparotomy (SHAM, n = 18) or cecal ligation and single puncture (CLP, n = 22). After 24 hours, animals underwent single-layer left colon anastomosis. Animals were sacrificed either 1 or 4 days postanastomosis. Anastomotic segments of colon were excised, minced, and incubated with 4.5 muCi 3H-proline. After 3 hours, tissue 3H-proline incorporation was quantitated as an index of total new protein synthesis. The protein fraction was then digested with purified collagenase enzyme to determine 3H-proline incorporation into collagenase-digestible protein, an index of new collagen synthesis. Total RNA was extracted from anastomotic tissue samples and subjected to Northern blot analysis for type I and type III collagen genes. RESULTS: Intra-abdominal sepsis resulted in markedly less new collagen synthesis 1 day postanastomosis (9,163 +/- 1,234 versus 3,744 +/- 444 disintegrates per minute 3H-proline/mg of protein, P < 0.0001) and 4 days postanastomosis (8,462 +/- 956 versus 5,708 +/- 802 dpm/mg of protein P < 0.05). Noncollagenous protein synthesis was also impaired in anastomotic tissue from CLP rats on postanastomosis day 1 (37,497 +/- 3,740 versus 18,593 +/- 2,695 dpm/mg of of protein, P < 0.001) and postanastomosis day 4 (28,238 +/- 834 versus 17,784 +/- 1,415 dpm/mg of of protein, P < 0.0001). The expression of type I and type III collagen was altered relative to the normal temporal sequence observed in SHAM animals. CONCLUSION: Intra-abdominal infection impairs colonic reparative collagen and protein synthesis. In addition, regulation of type I and type III collagen genes is altered by intra-abdominal sepsis, and the alteration likely contributes to impaired new collagen synthesis and decreased colonic mechanical strength.
