Figure 7From: Reconstruction of large-size abdominal wall defect using biodegradable poly-p-dioxanone mesh: an experimental canine studyHistological images of the poly-p-dioxanone and Marlex meshes. (A) The white and black arrows indicate the inner and outer sides of the reconstructed abdominal wall, respectively. (A(1)) Detailed, high-magnification image of the boxed area in (A) (original magnification, ×100). The white arrow points to the residual poly-p-dioxanone (PDO) mesh. (B) The black arrow indicates the absence of soft-tissue regeneration in the Marlex mesh. Images in (A) and (B) were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (original magnification, ×10).Back to article page
