A multicenter collaboration to asses the safety of laparoscopic ventral rectopexy

This study aimed to determine the risk of mesh and nonmesh morbidity after laparoscopic ventral rectopexy and to compare the safety of synthetic meshes with biological grafts.

TiLoop® Bra mesh used for immediate breast reconstruction: comparison of retropectoral and subcutaneous implant placement in a prospective single-institution series

Titanized polypropylene meshes are used as a hammock to cover the lower lateral implant pole. We conducted a prospective nonrandomized single-institution study of reconstructions using titanium-coated meshes either in a standard muscular mesh pocket or in a complete subcu- taneous approach. The complete subcutaneous approach means to wrap an implant with titanized mesh in order to position the implant subcutaneously and spare muscles.

Optimizing Therapeutic Timing in Patients Undergoing Mastectomy Through Use of The Tiloop® Synthetic Mesh: Single-step Surgery

The aim of the Breast Unit is to manage rapidly the ad hoc paths set out for each patient in order to guarantee compliance with adequate therapeutic timing. With this purpose in mind we tested the advantage of immediate reconstruction with definitive implants, by using a polypropylene mesh....

New surgical strategies in breast surgery
Problems and their possible solutions

Breast surgery has developed into an increas- ingly targeted therapy, making a transi- tion from radicality with post-mastectomy trauma to aesthetic oncoplastic surgery and, in particular in the areas of oncoplasty and reconstruction, is setting new standards. The new surgical methods and materials described here should be part of a teachable and learnable concept in aesthetic surgery that ensures high patient satisfaction with simultaneous oncologic safety in an optimal ratio. Patients find the combination of simultaneous reconstruction with mastec- tomy as part of the same operation to be less inconvenient, and they achieve a good body image, which also has an effect on their in- teractions with their partners. New materials help in reconstructive breast surgery during shaping and can be used without major complications.

Randomized clinical trial of laparoscopic hernia repair comparing titanium-coated lightweight mesh and medium-weight composite mesh

The use of lightweight meshes in incisional hernia repair could have beneficial effects on quality of life. This study aimed to compare a new titanium-coated lightweight mesh with a standard composite mesh after laparoscopic incisional hernia repair.
