Is mesh fixation necessary in abdominal hernia repair?
GROUND: Abdominal hernia repair with implantation of synthetic meshes using the sublay technique has resulted in low recurrence rates and high patient satisfaction. AIM: The purpose of this experimental animal study was to investigate whether mesh fixation is necessary in abdominal hernia repair using a polypropylene mesh in the sublay technique. METHODS: Forty-five rats were divided into three groups after creating an abdominal wall defect (CG control group, no mesh implantation; NoFixG mesh implantation without fixation group; SG mesh with suture fixation group) with 15 animals in each group. End-points were clinical herniation pressure, hydroxyproline (HP) concentration, mesh shape and number of fibroblasts/collagen fibres of the anchor zone 7, 14 and 90 days after implantation. RESULTS: Herniation pressure, HP content and number of fibroblasts were similar between NoFixG and SG, although significantly higher in these groups than in the CG (P<0.05). Both mesh groups had significantl
