Changes in hepatic arteries are frequently found and in this study their incidence was 40%, similar to the literature. The most significant change, observed in 10% (3 cases), was the right hepatic artery with its origin in the superior mesenteric artery.
The experimental model used was effective, producing 100% of peritonitis. The incidence of bacterial growth on the implanted polypropylene meshes was 83% in 24 hours, decreasing with the time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
