Abstract:
Hernia 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 Diamond
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 examinations
all samples were integrated to the surrounding tissue and there were no foreign body reaction. Significantly
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.
