Norms, however, counteract individuality. An essential prerequisite for free decision--making is an absolute awareness of all possibilities available. Therefore the physician/surgeon too, is obliged to impart all relevant information to the patient prior to an operation to enable the patient to reach a decision, either to agree to or refuse the operation. This process of information transfer may sometimes fail on one or both sides. Treatment errors are usually classified according to scientific medical practice. In the case of \"breach to duty in information patient\" the final decision is the judges. As judicial decisions are not foreseeable, the communication between patient and surgeon thus becomes standardized and doctors tend to become defensive, resulting in the information becoming even more extensive covering all possible situations. There is no guarantee of success in surgery. Selective perception on the part of the patient is unavoidable and confidence in the relationship between patient and surgeon is beneficial to the patient's rehabilitation. Therefore, we should strive to decriminalize the preoperative talk held between surgeon and patient.</p>","PeriodicalId":17985,"journal":{"name":"Langenbecks Archiv fur Chirurgie","volume":"382 2","pages":"111-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20144656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Depending on the extent and the area of the sore, with predilection for the sacrum, the ischial tuberosity and the femoral trochanter, the gluteus maximus, biceps femoris and tensor fasciae latae muscles are most often used for myocutaneous flaps. Primary sutures, split skin grafts or local fasciocutaneous flaps are often sufficient treatment for smaller, superficial defects. Between 1981 and 1996, 133 patients (average age 50 years) with 212 pelvic pressure sores of all stages were treated in our clinic. After radical decubitus excision with pseudotumor technique and resection of the osseous prominences, one-stage reconstruction of solitary as well as multiple defects was performed with myocutaneous flaps in 135 cases. The postoperative general complication rate for all treatments was about 10-30%.

Despite the undisputed advantages of the synthetic meshes currently available, reports of late complications after implantation are accumulating. It is essential that the synthetic meshes be improved, but this makes a standardized animal model necessary for evaluation of their biocompatibility on both functional and morphological levels. In the present study, commercially available polypropylene and polyester meshes were implanted in a rat model, and detailed morphological and morphometric analysis were carried out. Correlations between the morphological and morphometric data and the function of the artificial abdominal wall were then sought. In summary, the data show that the mesh construction currently available are oversized and definitely restrict the function of the artificial abdominal wall. The degree of inflammation and fibrosis, the pattern of fibrosis, and the composition of the extracellular matrix exert decisive influences on the function. Fibrosis and inflammation are caused less by the material itself, however, than by its density, the way it is processed, and its surface.
