Laparoscopy-assisted percutaneous correction of abdominal wall defects in the umbilical region in a cadaveric model of bovine fetus. Abdominal wall defects in calves are commonly diagnosed and treated via laparotomy. This technique has witnessed several advancements in the management of these disorders. This study aimed to create a study model and evaluate the feasibility of video-assisted percutaneous correction of abdominal wall defects in bovine fetuses (corpses) compared with the conventional technique. Sixteen bovine fetuses from pregnant cows slaughtered in slaughterhouses were included in this study. The fetuses were categorized into the control group (CG, n = 8), which was subjected to umbilical abdominorrhaphy via laparotomy, and the video-surgical group (VG, n = 8), which received

Prenatal glucocorticoid exposure and congenital abdominal wall defects: Involvement of CXCR4 - SDF-1 signaling. Developmental defects of the ventral abdominal wall, such as gastroschisis, have been associated with prenatal stress exposure. To investigate this further, dexamethasone (DEX), a synthetic glucocorticoid, was administered to fertilized chicken eggs on day 1 of incubation to simulate , a downregulation of Glucocorticoid Receptors was identified, emphasizing the chronic stress exposure. These results provide critical insights into how DEX interferes with key developmental pathways, particularly those involving chemokines like CXCR4 and SDF-1, and other markers of mesodermal differentiation. An advancement in the understanding of the mechanisms underlying ventral abdominal wall defects

Long-term motor activity, cardiopulmonary performance and quality of life in abdominal wall defect patients. To assess whether patients born with an abdominal wall defect (AWD) have impaired cardiorespiratory performance capacity, motor skills, core stability or quality of life in a long-term follow up. Patients diagnosed with AWD between 2002 and 2013 were invited to participate in the study with congenital abdominal wall defect and compared to an age and sex matched healthy control group. Results of spirometry and spiroergometry, ultrasound or electromyography did not significantly differ between the groups. Significantly decreased locomotor function and gastrointestinal quality of life were found in patients with abdominal wall defect. However, the clinical impact of these findings remains

Anterolateral thigh flaps in closing large abdominal wall defect after the resection of mucinous adenocarcinoma: a case report. It is a big challenge to repair a large abdominal wall defect after tumor resection, and en bloc resection with vascularized tissue reconstruction might be an alternative to achieve an improved survival for abdominal wall tumors. A 45-year-old woman presented with a 1 tissues and organs and repaired the sizeable abdominal wall defect used by biological meshes and vascularized anterolateral thigh flaps. The patient suffered green drainage of 450 ml in the abdominal cavity and intestinal anastomotic fistula, for which she readmitted and recovered afterward. Biological mesh combined with vascularized anterolateral thigh flaps could effectively repair the large abdominal

Accuracy of estimated fetal weight assessment in fetuses with abdominal wall defects. Gastroschisis and omphalocele are congenital abdominal wall defects in which the bowel and other abdominal contents extrude from the fetal abdominal cavity. Standard formulas for estimated fetal weight using ultrasound include fetal abdominal circumference measurement and have a range of error of approximately 10%. It is unknown whether the accuracy of estimated fetal weight assessment is compromised in fetuses with abdominal wall defects because of the extrusion of abdominal contents. This study aimed to assess the accuracy of standard estimated fetal weight assessment in fetuses with abdominal wall defects by comparing prenatal assessment of fetal weight with actual birthweight. A retrospective cohort

Antibiotic Utilization and Infection Among Infants with Abdominal Wall Defects. Neonates with abdominal wall defects are at an increased infection risk because of the defect itself and prolonged neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stays. Antibiotic prophylaxis until closure of the defect is common. However, infection risk and antibiotic use have not been well quantified in these infants . A retrospective cohort study of infants with abdominal wall defects (gastroschisis and omphalocele) admitted to a single-center NICU from 2007 to 2018. Demographic and clinical information, including microbiologic studies, antibiotic dosing and surgical care, were collected. Antibiotic use was quantified using days of therapy (DOT) per 1000 patient-days. Sepsis was defined as culture of a pathogen from

Management strategies and outcome of blunt traumatic abdominal wall defects: a single centre experience. Traumatic abdominal wall defects (TAWDs) following blunt trauma are uncommon injuries with an incidence reported less than 1%. Improved diagnostics and subsequent early detection of otherwise rare injuries raise more questions concerning their treatment. There is lack of consensus

A new surgical treatment for abdominal wall defects: A vascularized ribs-pleural transfer technique that can be used with or without a thoracic umbilical flap a case report. Abdominal wall defects are common after tumor resection. We report an 83-year-old male patient with recurrent tumors in his abdomen, and who had an incision wound that could not be directly closed. Mesh was not suitable because the wound was infected. Abdominal wall defect result from the resection of recurrent tumor. We carried out a vascularized ribs-pleural transfer operation. After the surgery, the patient gained a functional recovery. No evidence of recurrence was noted 1 year after operation, and the patient showed no symptoms of abdominal compression syndrome. We discuss the clinical diagnosis, treatment

Low and decreased prevalence of congenital abdominal wall defect in Taiwan. This study aims to identify the prevalence of Congenital abdominal wall defects (AWD), hospital outcomes, and related congenital abnormalities in Taiwan by using the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). From 1998 through 2013, all pediatric patients with AWD were collected via ICD-9-CM diagnostic code

Prevalence, timing of diagnosis and pregnancy outcome of abdominal wall defects after the introduction of a national prenatal screening program. To examine prevalence, time of diagnosis and outcome of fetuses with an exomphalos or gastroschisis, diagnosed since the introduction of a national prenatal screening program in 2007. A prospective cohort study was undertaken in two fetal medicine units

Preemptive Ladd in congenital diaphragmatic hernia and Abdominal Wall defects does not reduce the risk of future volvulus. Patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), gastroschisis, and omphalocele are prone to abnormalities of intestinal rotation and thus future midgut volvulus. Controversy exists whether routine preemptive Ladd procedure in this subgroup of asymptomatic patients

Investigation into the optimal prosthetic material for wound healing of abdominal wall defects The purpose of this experimental study is to investigate and compare the effects of prosthetic materials used for wound healing of abdominal wall hernias. A total of 60 rats were divided into five equal groups: Group I, control subjected to laparotomy; group II, abdominal wall defect 3×2 cm +polypropylene (PP) mesh; group III, abdominal wall defect 3×2 cm+PP mesh+hyaluronate and carboxymethylcellulose (H-CMC; Seprafilm); group IV, abdominal wall defect 3×2 cm+polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE; Composix); and group V, abdominal wall defect 3×2 cm+polyethylene terephthalate (PET; Dacron). A total of 14 days after the surgery, rats were sacrificed and the meshes with the surrounding tissue were

Large Chest and Abdominal Wall Defect Reconstruction With Anterolateral Thigh Free Flap to Right Gastroepiploic Artery Anastomosis

Enhancement of abdominal wall defect repair using allogenic platelet-rich plasma with commercial polyester/cotton fabric (Damour) in a canine model Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has an important role in musculoskeletal surgery; however, it has been underutilized for accelerating the healing of abdominal wall defects in veterinary practice. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the use of commercial polyester/cotton fabric (Damour) as a new composite mesh for the repair of experimentally induced abdominal wall defects in canine models, and to investigate the possible role of PRP for improving such repair and reducing allied complications. For this purpose, abdominal wall defects were created in 24 healthy mongrel dogs and then repaired with mesh alone (control group) or mesh and allogenic
