Morphological studies of the implanted meshes at 90 days.

Light microscopy images of the large pore polypropylene mesh, fixed with stitches or with the different cyanoacrylates (Glubran 2, SafetySeal, Ifabond and Evobond), 90 days after the surgery. Left images: Masson’s trichrome staining panoramic images of the implant meshes (100x magnification). Right images: sirius red staining images (100x magnification). Notice the increase in type I collagen at this study time in relation to 14 days. Type I collagen is seen in red, and type III collagen is seen in yellow-green. (PP: polypropylene mesh filament; TA: tissue adhesive).
