Analysis of adhesion formation of a new elastic thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) mesh in comparison to polypropylene (PP) meshes in IPOM position

The newly developed TPU mesh seems to reduce peritoneal adhesion formation in IPOM position in a rabbit model compared to PP meshes after 7 and 21 days. Immunohistochemistry did not reveal differences in biocompatibility of the two meshes used.
