Journal ArticleDOI
Tensile strength and host response towards different polypropylene implant materials used for augmentation of fascial repair in a rat model
TL;DR: Multifilament materials induced a shorter acute inflammatory response and more pronounced chronic inflammatory reaction compared to monofilament implants, and explants reconstructed with tighter woven multifilament SPM were weaker than sutured or SPMM controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
A standardized description of graft-containing meshes and recommended steps before the introduction of medical devices for prolapse surgery. Consensus of the 2nd IUGA Grafts Roundtable: optimizing safety and appropriateness of graft use in transvaginal pelvic reconstructive surgery.
TL;DR: A pragmatic minimum clearance track for new products being introduced to the market, which consists of an accurate and more standardized product description, data on the biological properties gathered in animal experiments, anatomical cadaveric studies, and upfront clinical studies followed by a compulsory registry on the first 1,000 patients implanted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcome prediction in monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies with moderately discordant amniotic fluid.
T. Van Mieghem,Elisenda Eixarch,Leonardo Gucciardo,Elisa Done,I. Gonzales,D. Van Schoubroeck,Liesbeth Lewi,Eduard Gratacós,Jan Deprest +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify predictors of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) and selective intrauterine growth restriction (sIUGR) in monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twin pregnancies with moderate amniotic fluid discordance (mAFD).
Journal ArticleDOI
Shrinkage and biomechanical evaluation of lightweight synthetics in a rabbit model for primary fascial repair
Yves Ozog,Maja Konstantinovic,E. Werbrouck,Dirk De Ridder,Mazza Edoardo,Mazza Edoardo,Jan Deprest +6 more
TL;DR: The biomechanical behaviour of the tested lightweights does not mimic that of native controls and weight reduction does not prevent shrinkage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the learning process for laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy: identification of challenging steps
TL;DR: The learning curve is defined and the most time-consuming step is the dissection of the paracolic and perivaginal spaces, and quality of LSCP improves with experience.
