Short communication Size selectivity of the Spisula solida dredge in relation to tooth spacing and Mesh Size
2003Co-Authors: Miguel B. Gaspar, F. Leitão, M. SobralAbstract:A study was undertaken on the northwestern coast of Portugal to evaluate the selectivity effect of both tooth spacing and Mesh Size on the catch of the white clam (Spisula solida). Two typical clam dredges, equipped with different tooth spacing and Mesh Size, were towed side by side. Three tooth spacing (20, 40 and 60 mm) and three Mesh Sizes (35, 40 and 50 mm) were investigated. The dredge selectivity experiments were performed by attaching a cover bag with a 20 mm Mesh to the gear. Individual hauls were analysed by the SELECT model. The Fryer’s mixed model of between-haul variation was also applied to data. The results showed that the space between teeth does not have an effect on selectivity. Tooth length was directly related to the dredge’s capture efficiency. The only factor that contributed to dredge Size selection was Mesh Size. The 50% retention lengths estimated for Mesh Sizes 30, 40 and 50 mm were 25.68, 26.35 and 31.94 mm, respectively. For all Mesh Sizes, very narrow selection ranges were observed. The most appropriate Mesh Size to be enforced within the Portuguese northwestern S. solida fishery should be 40 mm. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Mesh Size in Lichtenstein repair: a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the importance of Mesh Size
Hernia, 2013Co-Authors: D. Seker, D. Oztuna, H. Kulacoglu, Y. Genc, M. AkcilAbstract:Purpose Small Mesh Size has been recognized as one of the factors responsible for recurrence after Lichtenstein hernia repair due to insufficient coverage or Mesh shrinkage. The Lichtenstein Hernia Institute recommends a 7 × 15 cm Mesh that can be trimmed up to 2 cm from the lateral side. We performed a systematic review to determine surgeons’ Mesh Size preference for the Lichtenstein hernia repair and made a meta-analysis to determine the effect of Mesh Size, Mesh type, and length of follow-up time on recurrence. Methods Two medical databases, PubMed and ISI Web of Science, were systematically searched using the key word “Lichtenstein repair.” All full text papers were selected. Publications mentioning Mesh Size were brought for further analysis. A Mesh surface area of 90 cm^2 was accepted as the threshold for defining the Mesh as small or large. Also, a subgroup analysis for recurrence pooled proportion according to the Mesh Size, Mesh type, and follow-up period was done. Results In total, 514 papers were obtained. There were no prospective or retrospective clinical studies comparing Mesh Size and clinical outcome. A total of 141 papers were duplicated in both databases. As a result, 373 papers were obtained. The full text was available in over 95 % of papers. Only 41 (11.2 %) papers discussed Mesh Size. In 29 studies, a Mesh larger than 90 cm^2 was used. The most frequently preferred commercial Mesh Size was 7.5 × 15 cm. No papers mentioned the Size of the Mesh after trimming. There was no information about the relationship between Mesh Size and patient BMI. The pooled proportion in recurrence for small Meshes was 0.0019 (95 % confidence interval: 0.007–0.0036), favoring large Meshes to decrease the chance of recurrence. Recurrence becomes more marked when follow-up period is longer than 1 year ( p

individual Mesh Size for open anterior inguinal hernia repair an anthropometric study in turkish male patients
Hernia, 2019Co-Authors: H. Kulacoglu, H Celasin, D. OztunaAbstract:Purpose To conduct a study to determine the measurements of the inguinal region in male patients with inguinal hernias to reveal the proper Mesh Size for each patient. Methods In this prospective study, the anthropometric measurements were obtained from 100 consecutive adult male patients with unilateral primary inguinal hernias. First, the distance between the pubic tubercle and the medial border of the deep inguinal ring was measured (x). Second, the distance between the inner edge of the inguinal ligament and the uppermost level of the internal oblique aponeurosis at the midpoint of the inguinal ligament corresponding to the Hesselbach triangle was measured (y). Individual Mesh Sizes were calculated according to the original recommendations for Mesh overlap. Results The mean x value was 41.6 mm (22-55 mm), the mean y value was 45.2 mm (30-68 mm). The mean dimensions of the Mesh were 126.6 mm × 65.2 mm. The largest Mesh was 140 mm × 88 mm, and the smallest one was 107 mm × 62 mm. The mean Mesh area was 8320 mm2. It was larger than the index Mesh area recommended by the Lichtenstein Hernia Institute in 45 patients and smaller in 55 patients. Conclusions The intraoperative measurements for ideal Mesh Size in Lichtenstein repair of inguinal hernias may present somewhat different Mesh dimensions in many patients. Individualization of Mesh Size may be of importance in surgical outcomes.
