Abstract

In light of the fact that, to date, no information is available about titanium relative to its application in prosthetic material employed for hernial repair, the aim of the present work was to evaluate the fundamental possibilities of titanium-coated polypropylene meshes. In experiments with animals, two groups, each containing 11 pigs, received either a heavyweight polypropylene mesh (Atrium) or an identical but titanium-coated mesh (titanium-coated Atrium) implanted into the left groin using the totally endoscopic extraperitoneal patchplasty technique. A significant difference in the shrinkage behavior between conventional Atrium and titanium-coated Atrium was found (14.9 vs. 8.8%, p < 0.05). Furthermore, the partial volume of the inflammatory infiltrate also proved to be smaller with the titanium-coated mesh (14.9 vs. 12.4%). In addition, Ki-67 expression was lower in the group implanted with titanium-coated mesh (21.0 vs. 15.0%). No difference was observed with regard to the apoptosis index (7.6 vs. 6.5). Heavyweight titanium-coated polypropylene meshes induce a less pronounced foreign body reaction in comparison with identical meshes with no titanium coating, which, since the amount of material implanted is identical, mus...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
