Case Report: Bioresorbable implant in anterior abdominal wall reconstruction in women of reproductive age. Case Report with pregnancy and a 10-year follow-up
To present a case of abdominal wall reconstruction using a bioresorbable poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB, Phasix®) mesh, highlighting its implications for pregnancy outcomes and long-term follow-up.
Key Findings:
The use of a bioresorbable P4HB mesh was associated with an uncomplicated pregnancy.
At 10-year follow-up, ultrasonography showed no hernia recurrence and confirmed complete mesh resorption, suggesting potential benefits for future pregnancies.
Interpretation:
The case suggests that bioresorbable implants may preserve the natural physiology of the abdominal wall during pregnancy without complications, but further research is needed to validate these findings.
Limitations:
The findings are based on a single-case design, which may introduce biases.
The defect size was small, necessitating caution in interpretation.
Conclusion:
Further confirmation in larger studies is required to validate these findings, particularly regarding the long-term effects of bioresorbable implants in similar patient populations.
