Abstract
The deployment of hernia repair patches in laparoscopic procedures is gradually increasing. In this technology, however, understanding the new phases of titanium from the parent phase on polymer substrates is essential to control the microstructural transition and material properties. It remains a challenging area of condensed matter physics to predict the kinetic and thermodynamic properties of metals on polymer substrates from the molecular scale due to the lack of understanding of the properties of the metal-polymer interface. However, this paper revealed the mechanism of nucleation on polymer substrates and proposed for the first record a time-dependent regulatory mechanism for the polymer-titanium interface. The interconnection between polymer surface chain entanglement, nucleation and growth patterns, crystal structure and surface roughness were effectively unified. The secondary regulation of mechanical properties was accomplished simultaneously to satisfy the requirement of biocompatibility. Titaniumized polypropylene patches prepared by time-dependent magnetron sputtering technology demonstrated excellent interfacial mechanical properties and biocompatibility. In addition, modulation by low-temperature plasma metal deposition opened a new pathway for biomaterials. This paper provides a solid theoretical basis for the research of titanium nanofilms on medical polypropylene substrates and the medical industry of implantable biomaterials, which will be of great value in the future.

Medium-term safety and efficacy profile of paraesophageal hernia repair with Phasix-ST ® mesh: a single-institution experience. Hernia 2022; 26:279-286. [PMID: 34716832 DOI: 10.1007/s10029-021-02528-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2021] [Accepted: 10/17/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hernia recurrence after laparoscopic repair is a perplexing problem. In an effort to reduce anatomical and clinical recurrences, different type of meshes have been used to bolster the esophageal hiatus. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess safety, medium-term efficacy, and quality of life improvement after laparoscopic repair of hiatal hernia reinforced with a biosynthetic absorbable mesh (Phasix-ST®). METHODS Observational single-center retrospective single-arm cohort study (November 2015-February 2021). We included all adult patients (> 18 years old) who underwent laparoscopic paraesophageal hernia repair with Phasix-ST® mesh and Toupet fundoplication. RESULTS Sixty-eight patients were included. The median postoperative stay was 3.2 days (range 2-9) and the postoperative complication rate was 11.7%. The median follow-up time was 27 months (range 1-53). No mesh-related complications were detected. Hernia recurrence was diagnosed in six patients (8.8%). The recurrence-free probability at 34 months was 0.89 (95% CI 0.807-0.988) while at 60 months was 0.86 (95% CI 0.76-0.97). Hernia recurrences were mostly observed between 21 and 36 months after the operation. None of the patients required surgical revision and all were managed with PPI. Postoperative dysphagia requiring endoscopic balloon dilatation occurred in 2.9% of patients. Compared to baseline, both the GERD-HRQL (15.2 ± 6.2 vs. 3.2 ± 3.1; p = 0.026) and all SF-36 items were significantly improved (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic crura augmentation with Phasix-ST® mesh combined with a Toupet fundoplication is safe and seems effective in the medium-term follow-up. Phasix-ST® crural reinforcement resulted in low hernia recurrence rate with a sustained symptoms and quality of life improvement.
