“…Surgical intervention (herniorrhaphy) is useful in case of large hernial opening but in extensive ventral abdominal hernia may require hernioplasty [7] . There is a report in India, a goat suffering from ventral hernia tear about 18cm length in lower abdominal muscle was successfully managed by a non absorbable suture material, proline -No.2 size using horizontal mattress suture [8] but in another report in Turkey, 10 young female goats with umbilical hernias and hernial ring sizes ranging from 7-10 cm in width were treated by hernioplasty using a double-layer polypropylene mesh [9] . In Pakistan ventral abdominal hernia of 19 case of goat, hernial ring size ranged from 15 -40 cm in diameter was coaptated with mattress or myo-mattress suture pattern using Dexon No.…”

The study was conducted a four month old Jamunapari doe weighing 15kg that was brought to the SAQ teaching veterinary Hospital, CVASU, Chittagong with the history of unknown cause, loss of appetite and gradual swelling in the pelvic region since one month. Based on clinical examination the case was subjected as a ventral abdominal hernia and corrected by surgical intervention. The case was recovered unevenfully at 10 th postoperative day.

SummaryReasons for performing study: Repair of incisional hernias in horses has been described previously; however, this report describes the outcome of primary closure of incisional hernias in a large number of horses and compares these results with those of mesh implantation. Objective: To report the perioperative care, complications and long-term outcome of primary closure of incisional hernias in horses and to compare these results with a second population of horses in which prosthetic mesh was used. Methods: Medical records of horses undergoing an incisionalherniorrhaphy between 1998 and 2009 were reviewed. Information obtained included case details, factors from the initial surgery that contributed to the hernia formation, method of hernia repair and outcome. Comparisons between horses with and without mesh were made using logistic regression. Results: Thirty-eight horses with primary closure and 9 horses with mesh implantation met inclusion criteria. Long-term follow-up for cases in which a mesh was not used was available for 25 cases; of these, 21 horses (84%) had a normal cosmetic appearance and 4 (16%) had a visible defect. There was no significant difference between the 2 repair methods in terms of age, sex, breed, weight, size of the hernia, number of defects, timing of the repair or cosmetic outcome. Horses in which a mesh was used had significantly longer duration of surgery and hospitalisation, and were significantly more likely to develop post operative complications while having a longer duration of convalescence prior to return to use. Conclusions: Primary apposition of incisional hernias inhorses without the use of mesh support appears to result in a good cosmetic outcome while avoiding the complications associated with mesh implantation in this population of horses. Potential relevance: Surgical time, duration of hospitalisation, and post operative complications may be reduced by using this technique of primary repair and avoiding mesh implantation.evj_377 69..75

PURPOSE:To assess the systemic response of pigs to the intraperitoneal implantation of polypropylene mesh associated with chitosanbased film with a degree of deacetylation of 95%. METHODS:Blood samples were collected 24 hours before, and two and seven days after surgery. Systemic reactions were evaluated based on white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, and total serum protein, albumin and globulin levels. RESULTS:The systemic response was proportional to the composite response induced by polypropylene mesh, and the tissue inflammatory response was higher in the PP group (p=0.0033). CONCLUSION:The polypropylene mesh/chitosan-based film composite did not elicit a systemic response in pigs.
