Abstract

Sixth bucks of local breed were used in this study. The animals were anesthetized with mixture of ketamine and xylazine hydrochloride. Ventral abdominal hernias were induced on the lateral ventral abdomen. One month post operation, the induced hernia was repaired with polymer grafts, which fixed by simple interrupted suture, using No. 1 silk suture material. After implantation, there was focal abscess at the operative site in two cases which resolved after evacuation and irrigation with antiseptic. The findings of the microscopic result at 30, 60 and 90 days of grafts implantation exhibited inflammatory reaction around the grafts and later at the 60 and 90 days of implantation there was fibrous tissue formation around implant graft, inflammatory reaction and fibroblast infiltration in the graft. The results indicated that biocompatibility of polymer graft with the host tissue was good with complete healing of the operative site.

Highlights

  • Hernia a protrusion of an organ or many organs through natural or artificial opening under intact skin[1]

  • The swelling gradually increased in size, which exhibited after two week similar to a natural hernia

  • The hernioplasted hernias with polymer grafts were appeared that the inflammatory reactions at the site of operation more sever, when compare with inflammatory reactions that appeared after artificially induced hernia

Summary

Introduction

Hernia a protrusion of an organ or many organs through natural or artificial opening under intact skin[1]. In a very recent investigation using lightweight large porous mesh that takes into consideration all of the recent data regarding physiology and mechanics of the abdominal wall and inguinal region (6 and 7), polypropylene mesh and grafts to repair abdominal hernias in horses sixth months after surgery, the animals were healthy. In veterinary practice, it have many uses as addressing material put directly at the wound to enhance healing in cattle and dogs. It have many uses as addressing material put directly at the wound to enhance healing in cattle and dogs It is composed of a single stranded polymer in a crystalline molecular structure, with high density and resistance to traction and can be sterilized through autoclaving without affecting its properties [9, 10, 11, 12]. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency polymer grafts for repairing of the experimented large ventral hernia in goats
