Highly specialized research center on the pathology of the abdominal wall and on the reparative surgery of abdominal hernias

The Center aims to promote applied research based on extensive clinical experience in the following thematic areas: a. Synthetic, biosynthetic and biological prosthetic materials in parietal surgery b. Biomaterials, organic response and in vivo results (parietal reconstructions) c. Biomaterials, stem cell interactions and in vitro development d. Glues, sutures and mechanical devices for prosthetic fixation e. Study of the causes and different surgical treatments of chronic post-operative pain after hernia repairs f. Study of the causes and different treatments of pubic groin pain syndrome (Sportsman's hernia) g. Innovative technologies (open and laparoscopic) h. Hot topics: flank hernia, abdominis recti diastasis and floppy abdomen, subxiphoyd incisional hernia, subcostal incisional hernia, suprapubic incisional hernia, giant hernia
