Tissue reaction to implantation of light polypropylene meshes.
Comparative histological and electron-microscopic studies of tissues at the site of implantation of Vypro and Ultrapro polypropylene mesh endoprostheses and the meshes coated by fibroblasts were carried out. Tissue reaction to implantation of meshes coated by fibroblasts was more pronounced, particularly during the early period, and the process of connective-tissue capsule formation and implant growth was more rapid. The meshes integrated with the adjacent tissues at the site of implantation, which recommends them for clinical use.
