  2. 1. Autologous full-thickness skin graft as reinforcement material in the repair of complex hernias

    Author : Viktor Holmdahl; Karin Strigård; Ulf Gunnarsson; Lars Nannestad Jørgensen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Full-thickness skin graft; Incisional hernia; Parastomal hernia; tensile strength; RCT; abdominal wall strength; quality-of-life; IPOM; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Abstract : Background: Abdominal wall hernia is a common issue in the realm of surgery. Many patients suffering from a hernia require surgical intervention, and over 8000 abdominal hernia repairs are performed each year in Sweden. READ MORE

  4. 2. Evaluating an experimental model consecutive to abdominal wall hernia repair outcome

    Author : Annika Winsnes; Karin Strigård; Ulf Gunnarsson; Peter Falk; Birgit Stark; Henrik Thorlacius; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hernia; mesh; luciferase; full thickness skin grafts; mice; IPOM; onlay; reinforcement materials; abdominal wall; Bråck; nät; luciferas; fullhudstransplantat; FTSG; möss; IPOM; onlay; förstärkningsmaterial; bukvägg; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Abstract : Background: Abdominal wall hernia is a common surgically treated condition. Patients with primary umbilical hernia are operated with suture or mesh repair, but recurrence and complication rates have been debated.Larger abdominal wall hernias need implantation of reinforcing material for repair. Synthetic implants are dominating. READ MORE

  5. 3. Keratinocytes in tissue engineering of human skin: invitro and in vivo studies

    Author : Camilla Fredriksson; Gunnar Kratz; Fredrik Huss; Xiao-Feng Sun; Bengt Gerdin; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Keratinocytes tissue engineering; Plastic surgery; Plastikkirurgi;

    Abstract : Full thickness wounds, such as deep burns, need restoration of both the dermal and epidermal layers of the skin. In normal wound healing, re-epithelialization occurs by migration and proliferation of keratinocytes from the wound edges and by differentiation of stem cells from remaining hair follicles.

  6. 4. Studies on the interaction of human cells with transplantable materials for skin repair and cardiovascular surgery

    Author : Katarina Jansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Cell culture; Keratinocytes; Fibroblasts; Endothelial cells; Reepithelialization; In vitro endothelialization; Tissue engineering; Biomaterial: Dermal substitute; Synthetic vascular graft; Heart valve bioprosthesis;

    Abstract : Tissue engineering is becoming an important field for the development of new tissues in vitro for replacement of diseased or worn out parts of the body. This thesis describes some characteristics of cultured human cells seeded on transplantable materials for skin repair and cardiovascular surgery. READ MORE

  7. 5. The evaluation, preoperative and operative aspects of abdominal wall reconstruction for giant ventral hernia

    Author : Leonard Clay; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : BACKGROUND: The optimal method for surgical repair of giant ventral hernia remains to be determined. Different concepts for reinforcement have been used, which have decreased the risk for recurrence. READ MORE
