Macroscopic appearance of the neoformed tissue integrating the mesh.
Images of the optimal integration of the Optilene Mesh Elastic polypropylene mesh in the different study groups. Aspect of the meshes fixed with sutures or with the different cyanoacrylate tissue adhesives (Glubran 2, SafetySeal, Ifabond and Evobond) 14, 90 and 180 days postimplantation. An animal with some encapsulation was shown in the image in the Evobond group at 14 days.
