Laparoscopic instruments and methods utilizing suction

A surgical dilator extractor is introduced into the abdominal cavity through a trocar cannula and expanded, forming a tissue receiving space, at the distal end. The tissue that is to be extracted is then suctioned to the dilator. The tissue is then removed from the cavity by the surgeon applying a force onto the dilator extractor that insures the elongation of the tissue and temporarily dilates the entry wound to the extent necessary for the tissue to be removed. Alternative embodiments of the surgical dilator extractor and related instrument tool sets and methods for the use thereof also are disclosed.

Phenytoin Formulations, and Uses Thereof in Wound Healing

A formulation of phenyloin suitable for topical application to a wound comprises a reservoir of phenyloin entrapped within a stabilising matrix, and an amount of dissolved phenyloin, wherein the dissolved phenyloin is in chemical equilibrium with the phenyloin entrapped within the stabilised matrix. The stabilised matrix may comprise a gel matrix, especially a gel matrix in which the polymer of the gel forms ion-pairs with the phenyloin. Also described are methods of treating a wound in diabetic and non-diabetic patients using a formulation according to the invention.

Wall prosthesis that can be implanted in the center of a wound to reinforce abdominal wall closure

The invention relates to a prosthesis that can be implanted in the centre of wall wound scarring. The inventive prosthesis, which is intended for use in abdominal surgery, is provided with a geometric shape in the form of sheets that converge in dihedral angles. The sheets or planes are made from a synthetic biotolerated material in porous form with large pores. One of said planes is inserted into the centre of the scarring between the two aponeurotic surfaces to be joined. The other plane(s) of the prosthesis, which is perpendicular to the aforementioned plane, is arranged so as to overlap the aponeurotic edges of the edge of the section. The proliferation obtained around the prosthesis, in the scarring centre and close thereto, provides stress resistance greater than that obtained in standard closures, thereby greatly reducing the risk of hernias caused by a badly healed wound.
