    UNDE SUNTEM DUP 7 ANI

    R. Moldovanu, E. TrcoveanuDepartamentul de chirurgie, Universitatea de Medicin i Farmacie Gr.T. Popa Iai

    Jurnalul de chirurgiea aprut n 2005,dup succesul dezvoltrii site-uluiwww.laparosurg.ro, una dintre primele

    platforme de e-learning din Romnia iprima cu profil medical, ca o dezvoltare aconceptului de e-learning / e-teaching

    medical.Obiectivele principale au fost att de a

    asigura un mijloc de informare i de formare(Educaie Medical Continu) la ndemntuturor rezidenilor i medicilor din diferitelespecialiti chirurgicale ct i de a-i ncurajan a-i publica experiena i rezultatelecercetrilor / activitii medicale.

    Din acest motiv Jurnalul de chirurgiea mprtit ideile generoase ale liberuluischimb al informaiei tiinifice, exprimate

    filozofic de Ralph Waldo Emerson nc dinsecolul XIX (Knowledge exists to beimparted) [1] i a aderat la principiulaccesului deschis att din punct de vedere alautorilor ct i din punct de vedere alcititorilor. Ca urmare, nc din anul de debutam fost acceptai i indexai n DOAJ(Directory of Open Access Journals) aUniversitii Lund, una dintre cele mai

    prestigioase baze de date tiinifice destinateliberului schimb a informaiei tiinifice[2].

    nc de la nceput politica editorial ainclus publicarea a apte tipuri de articole:editoriale, referate generale, articoleoriginale, cazuri clinice, articole de tehnicai anatomie chirurgical, articole multimediai de istorie a chirurgiei. Publicareaarticolelor multimedia a constituit o

    prioritate naional pentru Jurnalul dechirurgie i s-a bucurat de un real succes,att din partea autorilor ct i a cititorilor.

    Publicarea cazurilor clinice i a notelorde tehnic chirurgical a reprezentat o

    preocupare permanent, fiind n concordancu obiectivele principale ale Jurnalului educaia medical i ncurajarea tinerilormedici de a-i publica experiena conform

    principiilor you teach what you have tolearn [3] i the art of teaching is the art ofassisting discovery [4]. Aceast preocupareeditorial este oarecum n contratimp cutendina internaional a majoritiirevistelor, care au nceput fie s renune la

    prezentrile de caz, fie s dezvolte revistespeciale (entry level) dedicate. Meritul

    Jurnalului n formarea medical a fost dealtfel certificat, prin acreditarea acestuia dectre Colegiul Medicilor din Romnia nc

    din primul an de apariie, n cadrulprogramului de Educaie Medical Continu.

    Valoarea tiinific a Jurnalului a fostrecunoscut de CNCSIS n 2006 cnd

    Jurnalula fost inclus n categoria C. n aniicare au urmat Jurnalul a fost acceptat iindexat n alte 3 baze de date tiinifice:IndexCopernicus, Baza de date aUniversitii Regensburg i prestigioasaEBSCO Academic. De asemenea, seregsete n fiierele a numeroase biblioteciale universitilor din ntreaga lume [5]. Carecunoatere a valorii tiinifice crescnde aJurnalului, acesta a fost inclus n categoriaB+ n 2009, categorie pe care a pstrat-o

    pn n prezent (actualmente categoria B+ afost transformat n B [6]).

    Pn n prezent au fost publicate nJurnal 441 articole cu o medie de 6314,29articole pe an (limite: 44-86) cu o mediande 57. Numrul articolelor publicate a avut o

    POSTOPERATIVE COMPL ICATIONS ASSOCIATED WI TH BIOMATERIALS USED IN

    HERNI OPLASTY (Abstract):Meshes of synthetic material are now being widely used to repairhernias (hernioplasty) but biomaterial-associated infections constitute a major clinical problem.

    The success of surgical repair of abdominal wall defects depends on the physico-chemical

    properties of biomaterials, their biocompatibility and design, preoperative handling and

    conditioning of implant, surgical technique and not least, the health status of the patient. The most

    common complications due to building materials are postoperative infection, seroma collection,bowel obstruction and enterocutaneous fistulas. The risk of such complications is minimized byusing composite macroporous meshes (dual layer meshes, pore size < 1 mm) whose dimensions

    ensure adequate laxity without formation of folds.

    BACKGROUND

    Ch.A.Th. Billroth, the famous surgeon

    whose name is linked to the first gastric

    resections with gastroduodenal/jejunal

    anastomosis, ever since the late 19thcentury

    intuited that by making and using an

    artificial tissue with the density and

    resistance comparable to those of the muscle

    fascia, the secret of the radical healing of

    the hernia disease would have been

    discovered [1].The materialization of this desiderate

    started by introducing, in 1959, the first

    polymer nets, the polyethylene ones. After

    this year, the range of the biomaterials used

    to develop hernia meshes underwent

    important changes. In an attempt to find the

    best materials, new polymer fibers were

    used, the least suitable ones were given up

    at, multilayer composite materials start beingused and devices with special shapes and

    sizes were designed. With special design and

    simple actions (sutures) or with the most

    complex shapes and characteristics (gastric

    banding, transtumoral stents, meshes and

    devices for parietal consolidation), the

    products made of biomaterials are used in

    surgical therapy for a high number of

    diseases: incisional hernias, hernias,

    neoplasm in advanced stages, morbid

    obesity [2-6].

    GENERAL ASPECTS OF THE

    BIOMATERIAL/TISSUE

    INTERACTIONS

    The success of the surgical healing of

    the defective abdominal wall depends on the

    physico-chemical properties of biomaterials,

  • 5/28/2018 Jurnal de Chir 2012 Vol 8 Nr 1

    14/122

    6 Mihilescu A et al.Jurnalul de Chirurgie (Iai), 2012, Vol. 8, Nr. 1

    and their biocompatibility and design, on the

    handling and conditioning of the implant in

    the pre-surgical phase, on the surgical

    technique itself, and last but not least, on the

    patients health condition. To all this we

    should add the capacity of the biomaterial toinhibit the development of adherences on the

    adjacent side of the abdominal organs and to

    answer in vivo similarly to the autologus

    tissues. These last features allow good tissue

    incorporation and fixation and a strong

    repair without the scar reaction and without

    the encapsulation problems noticed at the

    current prosthesis [7-12].

    The response of the organism, due to

    the biomaterial / tissue interaction, is based

    on a series of complex processes and it isinfluenced by a range of factors. The area

    that best expresses the tolerance of the

    biomaterial is the tissue / implant interface.

    Figure 1 shows a diagram of the main

    phenomena that constitutes the body

    response to the presence of a biomaterial.

    Fig. 1Scheme of the main phenomena of thebiological response to biomaterial implants

    An analysis of the organism /

    biomaterial relationship has in view that the

    latter one has to answer a great number of

    specific uses. Moreover, it has to take into

    consideration the fact that the live organism

    represents a complex in which proteins;

    enzymes, polysaccharides or other types ofbiopolymers are represented by different

    individuals. That is why the biomaterial

    must have the suitable features so that it

    does not disturb the natural running of the

    local or general biochemical processes.

    For the solving of this desiderate, a

    tight collaboration is necessary between

    chemists, biochemists, doctors, biologistsand pharmacists. They should work together

    to develop biomaterials compatible with live

    tissues, as well as to discover the

    mechanisms of the biocompatibility and

    biodegradability and to elaborate some

    efficient methods for the shaping of the

    implant/tissue systems, with the purpose of

    reproducing the balance and the native

    morphological and functional performance.

    Anyway, all complications caused by the

    consolidation material can be prevented iftheir causes are known. Therefore, the

    prevention of postoperative complications

    caused by the insertion of a biomaterial

    implies the thorough knowledge of the

    physical properties of the implanted

    biomaterial, among which the surface

    characteristics (dimensions and distributions

    of pores, watering capacity, permeability to

    fluids) are the most important.

    MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS

    THAT FAVORISE POSTOPERATIVE

    COMPLICATIONS

    The success or the failure of a

    hernioplasty depends, to a certain important

    extent, on the material characteristics of the

    used implant. If, by their chemical nature, all

    synthetic polymers are perfectly

    biocompatible materials, the differences

    between their physical and morphological

    properties could explain some of thecomplications associated to the prosthetic

    materials.

    Statistics show that, in the United

    States, among all the implanted devices,

    1-6% are infected pre- or post-surgery, and it

    is considered that most of the infections are

    nosocomial (40%). It is also considered that

    the possibility of infection is higher in the

    open techniques (7-18%) compared to the

    laparoscopic ones (0-2%) [13-15].For the design of an advanced material

    it is also necessary the exact understanding

  • 5/28/2018 Jurnal de Chir 2012 Vol 8 Nr 1

    15/122

    Biomaterials in hernioplasty 7Jurnalul de Chirurgie (Iai), 2012, Vol. 8, Nr. 1

    of the phenomena taking place at the tissue-

    implant contact. Thus, from the first post-

    implant moments, between the cells of the

    host tissue and bacteria there is a

    competition for the conquest of the

    prosthesis surface. If this race is won by thehost cells, then they will attach or they will

    integrate into the surface of the implant,

    protecting it. The fixing capacity of the

    bacteria is influenced by the reactive surface

    of the implant, a characteristic which is

    determined not only by the size of the pores

    or of the mesh eyelets, but also by their

    shape and distribution.

    Data on the reaction of a foreign body

    induced by the parietal consolidation

    materials show that the response of theorganism appears on the surface of the yarns

    that the mesh is made of. A comparative

    analysis of the reaction caused by

    polypropylene meshes, with different surface

    characteristics (size, shape and distribution

    of pores) shows that the more reduced the

    reaction of a foreign body is, the smaller the

    reactive mesh surface. Thus, the DynaMesh

    will be better tolerated than the materials

    with a reduced porosity that are

    characterized by higher values of the total

    surface of the yarns (Fig. 2). It is seen that

    meshes with reduced FS value minimize the

    reaction of a foreign body, favors the

    formation of the scar tissues and gives a

    higher comfort to the patient [16].

    Fig. 2Surface characteristics of different

    polypropylene meshes

    The classification of the prostheticsmaterials according to the size of the pores,

    made by Armid in 1997, allowed the

    identification of 4 wide ranges of meshes

    used presently in the surgical treatment of

    hernias:

    - Type 1 completely macroporousprosthetics (Atrium C-QUR andTrelex); the diameter of the pores is

    higher than 75, a dimension that

    allows the entry at the level of the

    prosthetic pores of the macrophages,

    fibroblasts, collagen fibres and

    neoangiogenesis vessels;

    - Type 2 completely microporousprosthetics: (ePTFE, Gore-Tex); they

    contain pores with less than 10diameter in at least one of the 3

    dimensions;- Type 3macroporous prosthetics with

    multi-filaments or macroporous

    elements like the PTFE (Teflon) mesh,

    DacronandMersilenewoven mesh,

    the mesh from woven polypropylene

    filaments (SurgiproTM) or the

    preshaped patches made of PTFE

    (Mycro-Mesh);

    - Type 4 biomaterials with sub-micronic size pores, such as:

    Cellgard polypropylene meshes and

    Preclude pericardial membrane.

    These types of prosthetics are not

    suitable for the repair of the hernia

    defects, but combined with type 1

    biomaterials they form composite

    materials whose main characteristic

    are to decrease the risk of viscero-

    prosthetic adherences [17,18].

    The size of the pores influences the

    mechanisms for the integration of theimplant. It has been seen that, for the

    polypropylene prosthetics whose eyelets

    have at least 1 mm, the monofilaments of the

    mesh are surrounded by granules of foreign

    bodies, generating thus a normal granulation

    tissue.

    If the distance between monofilaments

    is less than 1 mm, the incorporation of the

    mesh in the neo-formation tissue is followed

    by its confluence and by the formation of

    scar tissues that considerably reduce thepatients comfort [16].

    16/122

    8 Mihilescu A et al.Jurnalul de Chirurgie (Iai), 2012, Vol. 8, Nr. 1

    The use of materials with suitable

    mechanical characteristics reduces the

    probability of complications due to mesh

    deterioration or tearing. The prosthesis

    should resist to pressures of at least 16

    N/cm2 and, after implanting, it should keepunaltered its mechanical properties for long

    periods. Data about the use of polypropylene

    meshes with mechanical properties

    (Marlex, ProleneandAtrium) showed that

    if tearing occurs, it usually occurred at the

    muscle fascia prosthetics junction [18].The tearing of the mesh on its margin is the

    result of the decreased resistance of the

    structure compared to that of the mesh. The

    rate of the complications generated by these

    processes can be diminished by using suturematerials similar to the material of which the

    mesh is made of.

    A feature that can influence the

    success of a hernioplasty is the anisotropy of

    the prosthetics material.

    The mechanical properties of the mesh

    (resistance to tearing, resistance to cutting,

    elongation), generated by the mono-axial

    tension on two perpendicular directions,

    showed that they can have different values

    on the two directions on which the tension is

    applied. This behaviour will reflect into a

    non-homogenous deformation of the

    implant, a change of the biomechanics of the

    abdominal wall and the rise of the risk of

    late post-surgery complications [19].

    Notwithstanding many processes

    registered in the field of the biomaterials

    applied in the abdominal wall repairs, the

    number of post-surgery complications is

    rather high, many of these (~ 20% cases)being attributed to the characteristics of the

    material used for the implant.

    POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS

    The most frequent post-surgery

    complications that can be caused by the

    characteristics of the bio-materials are:

    infection, seroma, intervisceral adhesion

    (postsurgical adherential syndrome),

    intestinal obstruction, wearing of theprosthesis due to the erosion of the cavity

    viscera wall, failure of the repair caused by

    the contraction of the prosthesis [20].

    1) I nfection

    The postsurgical infection, which can

    be linked to the implantation of biomaterials(e.g. stitches and/or meshes), is caused by

    bacteria infiltration and proliferation in

    eyelets, interstitial spaces and pores that

    characterize the implant.

    Right after implantation, the surface of

    the prosthesis is disputed between the hostcells in charge with the regeneration

    (neoformation) and the bacteria in the

    material. If the competition is gained bythe bacteria, they will form on the implant a

    biofilm that will be removed/eradicated,most often, only by taking the prosthesis

    out [21].

    The biofilm or the bacterial plaque,

    that most of the time has many species of

    bacteria included in a self-excreting viscous

    substance, adhere on the surface of the

    implant and assures the protection of

    bacteria for their proliferation. It is

    considered that the eradication of the

    infections, which involve microbial

    microfilms, needs therapies with high doses

    of antibiotics - up to 1000 higher compared

    to the planktonic etiology infections caused

    by planktonic bacteria [22-24].

    The pathogeny of the implant

    infections records:

    - infiltration of bacteria at the momentof implanting or in the immediate

    postoperative period (patients skinflora, pre-existing infection in the

    proximity of the area of intervention,hospital environment, supporting

    therapy),

    - adhesion and colonization of bacteriaon the implant; they produce a self-

    protective biofilm and they escape

    the conventional therapy with

    antibiotics and the immune response of

    the patient [16].

    The results of the investigations

    regarding the influence of the surface

    characteristics of hernia meshes on their bio-inertia in front of the microorganims attack

  • 5/28/2018 Jurnal de Chir 2012 Vol 8 Nr 1

    17/122

    Biomaterials in hernioplasty 9Jurnalul de Chirurgie (Iai), 2012, Vol. 8, Nr. 1

    shows that the pathology of the implant

    infections is different according to the size

    of the implanted mesh eyelets.

    Thus, in the case of the type 1 meshes

    (large eyelets - > 75 ) their macroporous

    structure allows the rapid admission of themacrophages that destroy the bacteria, and a

    quick process of fibroplasia and

    angiogenesis that, being fast, does not allow

    anymore the access of bacteria in interstitial

    spaces.

    Sometimes the postoperative infection

    that appears after the use of type 1 meshes

    for the repair of hernia defects is caused by

    the use of the multifilament stitches for

    fixing the prosthesis. These post-procedural

    infections are wrongly attributed to type 1meshes.

    Type 2 and 3 prostheses are similar to

    the multifilament stitches and may generate

    post-operative infections due to their

    microporous structure.

    The rate of post-procedural infections

    associated to the use of type 2 and 3 meshes

    is currently at a reasonable level (Smith

    1971 reports the highest rate of 50% from all

    the interventions where the same type of

    meshes had been used, and DeBord and

    Wyffels report in 1999, only 6%) [cit 17].

    As for the surgeries where type 1 meshes

    were used, the reported values for the post-

    operative infections are a lot smaller [17].

    If we refer to (postsurgical) post-

    operative infections due to other causes,

    when this complication appears after a

    surgery where type 1 materials were used,

    the most important thing is that it is not

    necessary to remove the mesh. The exigentdrainage of the infected area, accompanied

    by a strict monitoring of the wound was

    enough to heal the complication. Unlike the

    behavior of type 1 meshes, in the case of the

    same complication (post-operative infection)

    after procedures where type 2 and 3 meshes

    were used, it is necessary: (i) to completely

    remove the mesh (type 2 mesh), (ii) partial

    removal (type 3 mesh).

    When the eyelets or the interstitial

    spaces of the material have sizes under 10 in each of the 3 structure sizes (Type 4

    meshes), the bacteria of almost 1 cannot

    be destroyed by large macrophages or

    neutrofile granulocytes that cannot enter this

    undersized pores. As a result, the

    multifilament stitches and the prosthetic

    materials with eyelets, interstitial spaces andpores of under 10 are an excellent location

    for the bacterial proliferation and for the

    development of local infections. The

    complications are explained through the

    possibility of quartering the small bacteria

    and the impossibility of the macrophages to

    enter these interstitial spaces [17].

    According to the post-operative period

    when the sepsis is developed, two types of

    infections may appear:

    - early infections they appear duringthe first 10 days from surgery;

    - late infections the complicationappears several years after surgery.

    Both types of infections, early and late,

    can be attributed to the formation of

    microbial biofilms. In the first case, the

    implant is colonized by bacteria and the

    treatment is not effective due to the biofilms

    resilience. On a long term, the bacteria may

    create a biofilm on the prosthesis material,

    remaining inactive during long periods (even

    years) until when a stimulus causes their

    reactivation [25,26].

    The clinical impact of the implant

    infections is linked to the pain increase, a

    higher discomfort for the patient, a longer

    time for healing and recovery, a higher

    morbidity and mortality rate and a longer

    hospitalization at higher costs. Moreover, the

    implant infections can cause the failure of

    the hernia repair and they impose anadditional surgery for the removal of the

    altered material [27].

    The antimicrobial technology, applied

    for the realization of the DualMeshPlus

    meshes, materialised in a decrease of

    implant infections thanks to the inhibition of

    the bacterial colonization processes and to

    the fact that it prevents the formation of the

    initial biofilm, for at least 14 days from the

    implant.

    The prevention capacity of the post-operative contamination was tested on that

  • 5/28/2018 Jurnal de Chir 2012 Vol 8 Nr 1

    18/122

    10 Mihilescu A et al.Jurnalul de Chirurgie (Iai), 2012, Vol. 8, Nr. 1

    particular area of the implant which

    benefited of microbial inhibition treatment.

    Biotests proved that the biomaterial can

    achieve a substantial high activity against

    both clinical and laboratory strains, isolated

    from the following gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms: methicillin-

    resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA),

    Enterococcus faecalis resistant to

    vancomicine (VRE), Escherichia coli,

    Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella

    pneumoniae, Staphylococcus epidermidis,

    Candida albicans, Acinetobacter baumannii

    [28].

    The special behaviour of DualMesh

    Plus meshes is explained by the synergy of

    the two anti-microbial agents: silvercarbonate and chlorhexidine. Silverscapacity of linking and destroying proteins

    of the bacterial cells, causing the loss of their

    biological function, is combined with the

    activity of the chlorhexidine that penetrates

    and disaggregates the bacterial cell wall thus

    causing the elimination of the bacterial cells

    content [14].

    The antimicrobial therapy of Dual-

    Mesh Plus prostheses has an inhibitory

    effect for the early and late infections.

    DeBord JR et al. monitored the short-term

    evolution of 37 randomly selected patients

    and they observed that Dual-Mesh Plus

    hernioplasties do not seem to produce any

    kind of systemic or clinical adverse reactions

    [cit 25]. The same authors show, based on a

    great number of cases (over 150,000

    implants) monitored for a long period

    (almost 10 years) that the information

    regarding the hypersensitivity of the subjectsof this study to the implanted materials was

    not confirmed [25].

    Analyzing the data regarding the link

    between the characteristics of the material

    and the development of the implant related

    infections we reach to following statements:

    1) macroporous materials (with pores bigger

    than 10 ) lead to the decrease of the post-

    operative infections; 2) the use of meshes

    treated with antimicrobial products eliminate

    highly both the risk of early and lateinfections. [28,29].

    2) Seroma

    The formation of post-implant seroma

    in a prosthetic biomaterial has as etiology

    the inflammatory reaction of the host body(for the latest biomaterials this reaction is

    neglectable), and the presence of the deadspaces between the prosthesis and the

    surrounding tissue.

    Admitting the importance of the

    dead spaces in the formation of seromas,

    K. Amid shows that, in the case of the

    macroporous prosthesis (type 1 and 3), the

    size of the pores of these materials allows a

    rapid accumulation and fixation of the

    proteins in the interstitial spaces [17]. Thus

    the dead spaces between the prosthesis

    and the host tissue are eliminated, and the

    risk for developing a post-implant seroma is

    minimal [17].

    A high molecular permeability will

    cause a rapid and efficient incorporation of

    prosthetic material in the host tissue and

    thereby filling the pores which makes

    impossible the local quartering and the

    bacterial proliferation, thereby decreasingthe risk of post-implant infection and the

    formation of seroma. The risk of post-

    operative seroma can be reduced to zero by

    placing the prosthesis in a subaponeurotic or

    retromuscular position thus avoiding the

    direct contact of the biomaterial with the

    subcutaneous adipose tissue. In addition, a

    useful way to avoid seromas is using post-

    operative drainage, especially useful in the

    case when the surgeon used a large

    prosthetic material.Due to the inadequate size of the

    pores, the type 2 biomaterials/meshes lack

    the optimum permeability to accumulate in

    the interstices protein material and fibrin,

    which results in a slow and incomplete

    disappearance of the deadspaces between

    the prosthesis and the host tissue where

    seromas can form subsequently. When using

    type 2 meshes percentages between 9.6%

    (for hernia surgery) and 14.6% (for

    incisional hernia surgery) were reported interms of post-procedural seroma formation.

    When correctly using the type 1 or 3 meshes,

    such complications are not reported.

    In most cases, seromas are solved

    within 30 days without the need for

    additional therapeutic gestures. Aspiration is

    indicated in cases where the collectionpersists for more than 6 weeks, volume of

    the seroma increases over time, clinical

    symptoms appear or it is suspected of being

    infected [20].

    3) Adherential syndrome

    The most important properties /

    characteristics of the ideal prostheses for

    hernia surgery are the macroporosity and the

    surface texture. These characteristics favor

    the infiltration of the prosthesis in the hosttissue, a process which is vital for a lasting

    repair. On the other hand, an adverse side

    effect of macroprosity is an increased

    adhesion of the macroporous mesh to the

    intestinal serous membrane when the two

    surfaces come into direct contact. Currently,

    all existing prosthesis (absorbable or non-

    absorbable) determine viscero-prosthetic

    adhesions, this process being more important

    when non-absorbable meshes are used. For

    this reason, it is recommended that theprosthesis notbe implanted in contact with

    hollow viscera [30].

    A limitation of the formation of

    adhesions to the prosthesis is found with

    bioabsorbable and PTFE materials.

    However, neither the complete covering of

    the visceral surface of the mesh with a layer

    of absorbent material such as Vicryl, nor

    the application of expanded PTFE patches,

    does not lead to a complete resolution of

    post-operative adherential syndrome. Recentexperimental studies have shown that

    composite biomaterials made of types 1 and

    4 meshes could prevent adhesions and they

    are useful in preventing other post-implant

    complications, secondary to adhesions,

    namely intestinal obstruction or the

    development of intestinal fistulas [17,30].

    4) I ntestinal erosion and fi stulas

    One of the complications attributed tothe material characteristics of the prosthesis

    is the erosion of the adjacent tissues.

    Prosthetic macroporous materials can

    cause erosion of the tissue in direct contact

    with them and so it may begin the migration

    of the prosthetic material within the

    gastrointestinal tract when the mesh is in

    contact with the intestines. Thiscomplication is more common when the

    prosthesis is in contact with segments of the

    gastrointestinal tract unprotected by the

    peritoneal serous membrane: distal

    esophagus, rectum, bladder and any segment

    of the intestinal tract that does not have a

    serous membrane. However even the direct

    contact between the prosthesis and intestines

    that are covered by an intact serous

    membrane can lead to fistula formation.

    Experimental and clinical observationsup to date have shown that covering the

    mesh with a layer of bioabsorbable material

    which will come in contact with the intra-

    abdominal organs - visceral side of the mesh

    will be covered - is not an effective method

    in preventing intestinal erosion or the

    migration of the prosthes from the initial

    point of placement [17].

    Clinically it is considered that the

    erosion of a hollow viscera and a fistula

    formation is, most of the times, a severe late

    complication with a difficult evolution and a

    high mortality rate notwithstanding the

    intervention [30].

    5) Prosthesis contr action

    The characteristics of the implant

    material influence the rate and the speed of

    the adhesions formation. Once formed, the

    adherential tissue reduces mesh flexibility

    and its ability to simulate the physiological

    movements of the abdominal wall. Becauseof the immobilizationof the consolidating

    material in the network of adhesions, hernia

    mesh size changes and local tensions appear,

    that may lead to recurrence of the

    hernia defect or to the appearance of a new

    one [31].

    The post-implant dimensional changes

    can reach high proportions depending not

    only on the nature of the material, but also

    on the design of the consolidation system.Thus, for the plug-type prostheses,depending on the nature of the biomaterial,

    EPIDEM IOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE HEPATIT I S B VIRUS PREVALENCE IN THE

    COUNTY OF IAI (Abstract):AIMS: This study was aimed to evaluate the seroprevalence ofhepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in the county of Iai, Romania, the possible risk factors of HBVtransmission and to apreciate the clinical features of the infection. METHODS: A cross-sectionalepidemiological study was conducted between july 2007- june 2008 among the adult populationof county of Iai and was tried to identify the risk factors of HBV transmission. The sampleconsisted of 1200 adult subjects, registered on the list of six family physician praxis, three froman urban area and three from a rural area; it was used a questionnaire concerning the socio-demographic characteristics and potential risk factors. Serum samples were assayed for Ag HBs

    by 3rd generation ELISA. The subjects found with AgHBs positive completed their evaluation forindicators of liver disease (chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis or liver cancer). RESULTS: The HBsAgprevalence in adult population of county of Iai was 5,2% (42 persons: 31 were inactive carriers, 9with chronic hepatitis, 2 with cirrhosis and none with liver cancer ). We found male sex, old age,intrafamilial exposure, serious accidents, history of acute hepatitis B, sexual risk behavior, dentaltreatment, tattooing as the major independent risk factors of HBV transmission, CONCLUSIONS:The overall HBV prevalence in the county of Iai was 5,2%, similar to other cuntries of EastEuropean region. There are risk factors implicated in HBV infection. Optimal management ofHBV infection requires lifelong routine monitoring of all patients to assess progression of liverdisease, development of hepatocellular carcinoma, need for treatment, and response to treatment.

    INTRODUCERE

    Infecia cu virus hepatitic B (VHB)

    reprezint una din cele mai importante boliinfecioase din lume, se estimeaz c exist350 de milioane de purttori VHB pe glob[1,2].

    Prevalena VHB n judeul Iai 19Jurnalul de Chirurgie (Iai), 2012, Vol. 8, Nr. 1

    subiecii s fie mai uor de contactat ntr-operioad limitat de timp i a asigurat o ratmare de participare [16]. Distribuia pegrupe de vrst, sex i mediu de proveniena eantionului studiat a fost asemntoare cu

    structura populaiei din judeul Iai, n carepopulaia rural este majoritar. Prevalenaobinut a fost de 5,2%, valoare comparabilcu alte studii din literatura romneasc [17-20], n concordan cu prevalena ntlnit nrile din zona mediteraneean [1,20,21].Majoritatea celor cu AgHBs au avut peste40 ani, cei mai muli fiind n grupa de vrst50-59 ani; scderea prevalenei la vrste maitinere [22,23] se explic prin ameliorareacondiiilor de ngrijire medical, folosirea

    materialelor sanitare de unic folosin, dari prin introducerea vaccinrii obligatoriimpotriva hepatitei virale B. Un numr maimare de brbai a prezentat AgHBs pozitiv,dar fr a se evidenia o diferensemnificativ statistic ntre brbai i femei(p=0,503) ntlnit n alte studii [22,23].Prevalena determinat a AgHBs fost maimare n mediul urban (6,2%) fa de mediulrural (4,5%), valoare ns nesemnificativ

    statistic (p=0,392).Factorii de risc care se coreleaz cuinfecia cu VHB, medicali i nemedicali,variaz ca semnificaie statistic n diversestudii [24-27]. n acest studiu urmtoriifactorii de risc s-au corelat semnificativstatistic cu prezena AgHBs:

    - antecedente de hepatit acut viral B(p=0,013);

    - accidente grave (p=0,011) cu un riscrelativ de 3,64 ori mai mare

    (RR=3,64; IC95%: 1,54 8,58);- tratamente stomatologice (p=0,045),cu un risc relativ de 1,90 ori mai mare(RR=1,90; IC95%: 1,05 3,42);

    - persoanele cu parteneri sexualimultipli (2=8,92; GL=1; p=0,003) cuun risc relativ de peste 3 ori mai mare(RR=3,29; IC95%: 1,61 6,76);

    - existena unui tatuaj (2=5,37; GL=1;p=0,02), cu un risc relativ de 4,45 orimai mare (RR=4,45; IC95%:

    1,26 15,67);

    - contact intrafamilial cu persoane cuhepatit cronic (2=16,94; GL=2;

    p=0,0002) sau cu infecie cronicVHB (2=27,10; GL=2; p=0,000001).

    Nu s-a identificat o corelaie

    semnificativ statistic cu urmtorii factori derisc: nivel socio-economic, interveniichirurgicale, tratament injectabil ladomiciliu, spitalizri frecvente, boli cutransmitere sexual, vrsta debutului n viaasexual, parteneri sexuali infectai cu HVB,consumul de alcool, efectuarea manichiurii /

    pedichiurii n saloane specializate.Istoria natural a infeciei cronice

    VHB este binecunoscut: n absena terapieiantivirale o proporie important a

    subiecilor infectai vor evolua spre cirozhepatic si vor deceda prin complicaiileacesteia [28], identificarea i tratareaacestora devine imperativ.

    Studiul s-a bazat pe un numr limitatde subieci i este posibil s nu reflecte cuacuratee prevalena AgHBs n populaiageneral; nu a fost analizat populaia sub18 ani, iar n Romnia din 1995 esteimplementat vaccinarea obligatorie a nou-

    nscuilor i sugarilor mpotriva hepatitei B,ceea ce ar putea face ca prevalena s fie maisczut dect cea determinat [29]. Deasemenea prevalena poate s varieze ndiverse regiuni i pe grupe diferite de

    populaie [22,30,31]. n acelai timp, deivirusul B este un factor major n dezvoltareaCHC, n eantionul studiat nu au fostdignosticate cazuri de hepatocarcinom.Aceasta se explic prin faptul c screeningula fost realizat n populaia general, numrul

    de subieci identificai cu infecie cronic cuvirus B a fost relativ mic, puini dintre eifiind n stadiul de ciroz hepatic.

    Ca urmare, pentru depistarea precocea CHC la persoanele cu infecie cu VHB(esenial pentru un tratament curativ), este

    justificat supravegherea celor cu risccrescut (brbaii peste 45 ani, pacienii cuciroz i cei cu istoric familial de CHC),

    prin examen ecografic abdominal ideterminarea alfa-fetoproteinei (AFP) la 6

    luni. Se pare c supraveghere nu este cost-eficient pentru toi subiecii cu infecie

    CONCLUZII

    n Romnia prevalena infeciei cuVHB este situat la valori intermediare,similare cu cele nregistrate n alte ri dinEuropa de Sud-Est i este mai mare la

    brbaii cu vrst peste 45 de ani.O supraveghere sero-epidemio-logic

    constant este esenial pentru monitorizareaprevalenei infeciei cu VHB, controlultransmiterii virusului, organizarea

    programelor de tratament i prevenie,pentru a aloca ct mai judicios resurseleexistente. n acelai timp, aceast conduit

    preventiv adoptat la cazurile curisc crescut pentru dezvoltarea CHC,

    permite diagnosticul n stadii precoce,terapeutic utile, mbuntind semnificativ

    prognosticul.

    COMPARATIVE STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF SURGICAL RISK FACTORS IN

    PATIENTS WITH VENOUS THROMBOEMBOLISM. ANALYSIS OF THE MORTALI TY

    RISK (Abstract): BACKGROUND: Accurate and immediate diagnosis of venousthromboembolism (VTE) still remains a difficult challenge for clinicians. Without prophylaxis,the incidence of hospital-acquired VTE is approximately 10-40% among surgical patients and 40-60% following major orthopedic surgery. Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life threatening diseaseand one of the main causes of in-hospital mortality. AIM: The purpose of this study was todetermine the relationship between surgical risk factors and VTE and in-hospital mortality in

    patients with PE.METHODS: We conducted a prospective, cohort study, between January 2004and December 2010. The patients with PE, admitted in the Ist Medical Cardiology Clinic, in St.Spiridon University Hospital, Iasi were included. Different risk factors were statisticallyanalyzed to identify the independent predictors of mortality in PE. RESULTS: The cohortconsisted of 362 with EP. The mortality was 21.54% (N=78 deaths). From surgical risk factors,orthopedic surgery was most common (5.8%), followed by general surgery (2.3%) andgynecologic surgery (0.82%). Multivariate analysis showed that an obesity (OR=4.21, CI=2.08-8.53, p=0.0001), immobilization (OR=3.34, CI=1.18-9.45, p=0,023) and time between admissionand death (OR=0.77, CI=0.72-0.83, p

    Conform datelor actuale, embolia

    pulmonar (EP) reprezint cea mai frecventcauz de deces la pacienii spitalizai, attdin seciile de medicin intern, oncologie,ct i de chirurgie general, obstetric-ginecologie, ortopedie-traumatologie, fiinddeclarat i afeciunea cu cea mai mare ratde mortalitate prevenibil, prin diagnosticclinic i paraclinic corect efectuat, printratament rapid instituit i, n cea mai maremsur, prin recunoaterea pacienilor la risci prin utilizarea de rutin a msurilor de

    profilaxie eficiente i sigure.Fr profilaxie, incidena episoadelor

    de TEV survenite n spital, confirmate prinmetode obiective, este de aproximativ 10-40% la pacienii cu afeciuni medicale sausupui unor intervenii de chirurgie generali de 40-60% dup interveniile chirurgicaleortopedice majore [1-3].

    Triada patogenic a trombozei venoaseprofunde i mecanismul emboliei pulmonare

    au fost formulate de Virchow n 1856: stazavenoas, leziunea endoteliului venos ihipercoagulabilitatea [4].

    Pacienii pot dezvolta EP, consecinacomplicaiilor spitalizrii pentru afeciunimedicale sau n perioada postoperatorie.Riscul individual pentru EP variaz, fiindrezultatul interaciunii dintre dou mari clasede factori predispozani: factorii de riscintrinseci (primari) i factorii de riscsecundari.

    Conform datelor actuale, la pacieniidin seciile de chirurgie, riscul cel mai naltpentru EP apare n cazul interveniilorchirurgicale complexe sau al traumatismelor,al imobilizrii prelungite, cancerului saualtor stri de hipercoagulabilitate i n cazulantecedentelor tromboembolice.

    Riscul obstetrical este asociat att cuevoluia sarcinii, ct i cu interveniileobstetricale, cu naterea vaginal/cezariana,ct i cu perioada postpartum.

    Identificarea i estimarea importaneirelative a factorilor predispozani poate fi

    util att n evaluarea probabilitii clinice nscop diagnostic ct i pentru deciziile ce

    privesc prevenia primar.Avnd la baz aceste premise, studiul

    nostru are ca obiectiv principal

    caracterizarea pacienilor cu emboliepulmonar, din punct de vedere al factorilorde risc chirurgicali i adiionali, din punct devedere al impactului acestora asupraevoluiei clinice a pacienilor, precum ideterminarea unor predictori independenicare pot fi utili n evaluarea riscului demortalitate.
