Omental Lipid-Coated Mesh

Abstract

Our objective was to determine the possible potential for improved incorporation of omental-coated biologic mesh. Twenty mice had omental-coated mesh placed on one flank and non-coated control mesh placed on the other. Mice were harvested at one week post implantation, and the results determined by histiologic examination. There was no objective statistical difference in the twenty mice in terms ofacute (p=0.232), chronic (0.165), or neoangiogenesis (High-p=0.436, Low-p=0.264). While no statistically significant results were found with this study, the identification of heavier acute inflammation and broader vascular proliferation with omental coating is encouraging.
