Effects of BP Implantation" (DM159) ClinicalTrials.gov Protocol and Results Registration System (PRS) Receipt Release Date: 12/30/2014 The objective of this project is to obtain results that can direct the search for the ultimate realization of a prosthetic device for use in abdominal surgery. Will be conducted systematic experiments in 30 New Zealand female rabbits (R1-R30), weighting about 3000 g (Harlan Laboratories).

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.
