One of the main problems of abdominal prosthetic surgery is the mesh fixation. Surfaces able to adhere promptly and strongly on wet biological tissue may represent an effective alternative to the conventional prosthesis fixation. Our VIDEO proposes the application of the nature inspired micro- or nano-patterned adhesive surfaces. We realized the intervention with 2 trocar in treated group vs 3 trocar in control group on pig model and operating time in the treated was 10’vs 60’in control group.ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02137018 https://register.clinicaltrials.gov prot.
