“…The findings of this study are consistent with similar works 16,[18][19][20][23][24][25] on the use of fibrin glue as the method of fixation of surgical meshes. The fixing of PP meshes with glue formed fewer adhesions when compared to suture fixation, with significance level of 0.01.…”

“…18 PMA relative to PSC, even when affixed with fibrin glue alone, has been demonstrated to significantly increase the tensile strength of repair in animal models. 43 PMA most likely creates a loadsharing interface with mesh to minimize hernia formation. One potential concern related to utilization of PMA may be that the use of mesh, particularly a synthetic mesh, in higher risk patients at risk for infection or wound complications; however, some encouraging data are being published that demonstrate relatively favorable outcomes with mesh in contaminated hernia repairs.…”

“…In the experimental study conducted by Schug-Pass et al [8] with the biomechanical model of the stamp penetration test, for a standardized incision in muscle tissue the following closure techniques were compared with each other: simple closure with single-button sutures, additional fixation with fibrin glue and augmentation of the suture with 2 cm overlapping TiMesh strips secured with fibrin glue.…”

Purpose Despite the vast selection of brands available, nearly all synthetic meshes for hernia surgery continue to use one or other of three basic materials: polypropylene, polyester and ePTFE. These are used in combination with each other or with a range of additional materials such as titanium, omega 3, monocryl, PVDF and hyaluronate. This systematic review of all experimental and clinical studies is aimed at investigating whether titanized meshes confer advantages over other synthetic meshes in hernia surgery.Materials and methodsA search of the medical literature from 2002 to 2012, as indexed by Medline, was performed, using the PubMed search engine (http://www.pubmed.gov). The search terms were: hernia mesh, titanium coating, lightweight mesh, TiMesh, mesh complications. All papers were graded according to the Oxford hierarchy of evidence.ResultsPatients operated on with the Lichtenstein technique performed using the lightweight titanium-coated mesh have a shorter convalescence than those with the heavy-weight mesh Prolene. For inguinal hernias operated on with the TAPP technique and using a lightweight titanium-coated mesh in comparison to a heavy-weight Prolene mesh, the early postoperative convalescence seems to improve. Titanized meshes do exhibit a negative effect on sperm motility 1 year after a TEP operation, but not after 3 years. The laparoscopic IPOM technique with a titanium-coated polypropylene mesh was associated with less postoperative pain in the short term, lower analgesic consumption and a quicker return to everyday activities compared with the Parietex composite mesh.ConclusionIn clinical studies, the titanium-coated polypropylene mesh shows in inguinal hernia repair certain benefits compared with the use of older heavy-weight meshes.
