The aim of this work was to study the possibility of using a new commercial polyester/cotton fabric to repair large sized umbilical and abdominal hernias in calves and small ruminants. Twenty-four animals (16 calves, 3 buffalo calves, 4 sheep, 1 goat) with umbilical or abdominal hernia were included in this study. The diameter of hernial ring ranged from (12-25) cm. An underlay technique was used for fixation of the prosthetic material that was placed under the visceral peritoneum after omentopexy and was secured to the recipient tissue with interrupted overlapped pattern using polypropylene monofilament suture material. After one year follow up, normal healing without complications in 19 animals was revealed (79.82%). Wound infection and delayed healing were recorded in 3 animals (12.5%) and wound dehiscence and re-herniation were observed in 2 cases (8.3%). In conclusion, our results suggested that commercial polyester/cotton fabric (Damour) represents a new cost effective alternative to commonly used meshes for hernioplasty of large sized hernias with relatively low rate of complications and recurrence in calves and small ruminants.
这项工作的目的是研究使用一种新型商用聚酯/棉织物修复犊牛和小型反刍动物大型脐疝和腹疝的可能性。本研究纳入了24只患有脐疝或腹疝的动物（16头犊牛、3头水牛犊、4只绵羊、1只山羊）。疝环直径范围为（12 - 25）厘米。采用衬垫技术固定假体材料，该材料在网膜固定术后置于脏腹膜下方，并用聚丙烯单丝缝合材料以间断重叠方式固定于受体组织。经过一年的随访，发现19只动物（79.82%）愈合正常且无并发症。3只动物（12.5%）出现伤口感染和愈合延迟，2例（8.3%）观察到伤口裂开和复发性疝。总之，我们的结果表明，商用聚酯/棉织物（达穆尔）是一种新的经济有效的替代品，可用于犊牛和小型反刍动物大型疝修补术中常用补片，其并发症和复发率相对较低。
