Polypropylene meshes in wounds inoculated with E. Coli; Pilot Study in New Zealand White Rabbit
Abstract:
Problem Statement: There is no consensus on the use of synthetic mesh in contaminated wounds. The last existing evidence overestimates use them. Is necessary to define whether they are safe in this type of injury. The reviewed studies are not comparable because the difference between integrated variables. The sample size and the conditions of each case are very different, and no meta-analysis is available. We propose an animal model to determine objectively whether they represent a risk for surgical site infection (SSI).
Objectives: To propose an animal model to study polypropylene meshes in infected wounds with E. coli.
