Effect of biomaterial design criteria on the performance of surgical meshes for abdominal hernia repair: a pre-clinical evaluation in a chronic rat model
Voskerician G, Jin J, White M, Williams C, Rosen M
J Mater Sci Mater Med . 2010 Mar; 21(6):1989-95. PMID: 20217192
Despite the recognized advantage of surgical meshes in abdominal hernia repair, reports of long term complications after implantation are increasing. 25 chronic hernia rats underwent incisional repair (n = 5/mesh...

Human peritoneal membrane reduces the formation of intra-abdominal adhesions in ventral hernia repair: experimental study in a chronic hernia rat model
Voskerician G, Jin J, Hunter S, Williams C, White M, Rosen M
J Surg Res . 2009 Jul; 157(1):108-14. PMID: 19631344
Background: Adhesions leading to intestinal obstructions and fistulae are severe complications related to the intraperitoneal placement of synthetic meshes. This study evaluated the efficacy of human peritoneal membrane (HPM) in...

Use of abdominal wall allotransplantation as an alternative for the management of end stage abdominal wall failure in a porcine model
Jin J, Williams C, Soltanian H, Smith M, Pearl J, Sanabria J, et al.
J Surg Res . 2009 Jun; 162(2):314-20. PMID: 19560162
Background: We describe a novel approach for treating end stage abdominal wall failure using isolated abdominal wall allotransplantation in a porcine model. Methods: Full thickness abdominal wall transplants were performed...

Objective analysis of the accuracy and efficacy of a novel fascial closure device
Williams C, Rosen M, Jin J, McGee M, Schomisch S, Ponsky J
Surg Innov . 2008 Nov; 15(4):307-11. PMID: 19036733
Abdominal fascial closure after midline laparotomy can be time-consuming and inaccurate and is a common time for needle-stick injuries. The SuturTek 360 degrees Fascial Closure Device (FCD) is designed to...

Infectious implications in the porcine model of natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) with PEG-tube closure: a quantitative bacteriologic study
McGee M, Marks J, Onders R, Chak A, Rosen M, Williams C, et al.
Gastrointest Endosc . 2008 Apr; 68(2):310-8. PMID: 18407267
Background: Obtaining reliable closure of transvisceral defects currently limits natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). PEG tubes are potential means of managing NOTES gastrotomies. Objective: To determine the efficacy of...

Clinical results of intraoperative radiation therapy for patients with locally recurrent and advanced tumors having colorectal involvement
Williams C, Reynolds H, Delaney C, Champagne B, Obias V, Joh Y, et al.
Am J Surg . 2008 Feb; 195(3):405-9. PMID: 18241835
Background: Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) may be useful in the treatment of patients who have a locally advanced primary and recurrent abdominopelvic neoplasm with colorectal involvement. Methods: A retrospective review...

Use of acellular dermal matrix for complicated ventral hernia repair: does technique affect outcomes?
Jin J, Rosen M, Blatnik J, McGee M, Williams C, Marks J, et al.
J Am Coll Surg . 2007 Oct; 205(5):654-60. PMID: 17964441
Background: The ideal technique for the use of AlloDerm (LifeCell Corp) in complicated ventral hernia repair has not been defined. The expense of these products mandates careful evaluation to justify...
