H
ernia is the weakness or defect in the abdominal wall or inguinal area. One of the solutions can be the usage
of surgical mesh. To fend off the effects of intraperitoneal positioned non-degradable mesh our research
group created absorbable scaffolds by electrospinning. For the biocompatibility experiments
In vitro
studies
were performed on Human lung epithelial (A549) cell line and the
In vivo
evaluations were observed on Wistar
rats (n=45, 200-250g). In this animal model to determine the biological behavior abdominal wall defect was
performed than was covered with the nanofiber mesh. Adhesion formations were measured by a modified Di-
amond score. From the samples macroscopically and histological responses were graded.
In vitro
examination
showed that the monomers of the nanofiber are biocompatible for the cells. According to the histological ex-
aminations all samples were integrated to the surrounding tissue and there were no foreign body reaction. Sig-
nificantly more adhesion formation were found on the non-absorbable suture line (n=19) than were attached to
the surface of the mesh.
The biocompatibility of the nanofiber surgical mesh was demonstrated by our studies. This nanofiber mesh
could be a promising scaffold for the tissue engineering.

Daniella Feher is a PhD student from Semmelweis University, Hungary. Her research is about regenerative medicine
tissue engineering and molecular biology which deals with the process of replacing, engineering or regenerating cells,
tissues and nanofibers to restore and establish normal function.
