Objective: To evaluate the ultrasound dampening effect of the different types of meshes abdominal surgery after implantation in Wistar rats.
Method: We used two Wistar rats, assessed positions and different types of meshes. The animals were anesthetized prior to surgery to open the abdominal cavity for placement of the prosthesis. Divided into three stages, 1) analysis of the abdominal cavity with ultrasound and no mesh 2) onlay position (mesh placed anterior the abdominal muscles) 3) underlay (intraperitoneal) for the posterior muscular. The meshes were used polypropylene (PP), polyester (PE), polypropylene/poliglecaprone (PU), polytetrafluoroethylene condensate (MO), polyester/ collagen (PC) and polypropylene/polydioxanone/oxidized regenerated cellulose (PRO). The animals were euthanized after the procedure.
