Abstract

One of the most common types of operations performed worldwide in human and animal practice is the repair of abdominal hernias. Hernias can be repaired either by herniorrhaphy or hernioplasty. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness and safety of mosquito net in comparison to commercial mesh for repair of induced hernias in ten adult female Angora goats divided into two equal treatment groups (each of 5 animals). In each group, full thickness abdominal wall defects was created then repaired by commercial polypropylene mesh (PPM) in one group and perlon mosquito net (PMN) in the other.

The results showed no deference in the clinical and surgical outcome between the two groups with no postoperative complications.

Adhesion of the omentum to both mesh types was detected in all animals. Histological examination revealed vascularized fibrous connective tissue formation around the mesh filaments. Chronic inflammatory reaction was detected in all tissue samples from the center of the meshes of both groups and from the interface between the meshes and the animal tissues but it was more evident in hernias repaired by PMN with many foreign body giant cells. In conclusion, PMN can be used to repair abdominal hernias in small ruminants safely as a cheap alternative to the relatively expensive PPM.
