A comparison of a bovine albumin/glutaraldehyde glue versus fibrin sealant for hernia mesh fixation in experimental onlay and IPOM repair in rats.
S. Gruber-Blum,Alexander H. Petter-Puchner,K. Mika,J. Brand,Heinz Redl,Wolfgang Öhlinger,T. Benesch,René H. Fortelny +7 more
TL;DR: The fibrin sealant adhesive FS is a recommendable atraumatic fixation tool for the surgical onlay technique and showed very good overall results of the primary and secondary outcome parameters.

Human vital amniotic membrane reduces adhesions in experimental intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair
Alexander H. Petter-Puchner,René H. Fortelny,K. Mika,Simone Hennerbichler,Heinz Redl,Christian Gabriel +5 more
TL;DR: Human vital amniotic membrane was highly effective in reducing adhesions to polypropylene mesh and sutures in experimental IPOM, no adverse effects were detected, and tissue integration of the mesh was good.

Spray application of fibrin sealant with an angled spray tip device in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair
René H. Fortelny,Alexander H. Petter-Puchner,Z. Khakpour,C. May,K. Mika,K. S. Glaser,Heinz Redl +6 more
TL;DR: In several studies on hernioplasty, punctual mesh fixation with FS proved to be efficient in terms of fixation strength and elasticity and it was hypothesized that an angled tip laparoscopic spray system (LSS) would improve and facilitate the application of the sealant.

The feasibility of FS mesh fixation by a transgastric approach--an important benefit in future NOTES procedures?
René H. Fortelny,Alexander H. Petter-Puchner,S. Gruber-Blum,K. Mika,J. Brand,Claudia Keibl,Karl S. Glaser,Heinz Redl +7 more
TL;DR: The findings confirm that IPOM repair of ventral hernia in an experimental NOTES hybrid procedure is feasible and demonstrates the technical feasibility and the potential advantages of FS mesh fixation to further reduce trauma to the abdominal wall following the key principles of the NOTES approach.

A comparative biomechanical evaluation of hernia mesh fixation by fibrin sealant
René H. Fortelny,Alexander H. Petter-Puchner,James Ferguson,S. Gruber-Blum,J. Brand,K. Mika,Heinz Redl +6 more
TL;DR: Although both thrombin concentrations are suitable for mesh fixation, lower concentrations allow slower polymerization and better sealant diffusion leading to higher maximum force levels at failure, the TAPP method was biomechanically superior to the IPOM method.
