From: Use of a novel silk mesh for ventral midline hernioplasty in a mare
Postoperative (2 years) image of the ventral midline following mesh hernioplasty (A) with corresponding ultrasound images (B, C) documenting mature fibrous tissue formation throughout the hernioplasty site. Hypoechogenic shadow artifacts (*) representing remnants of the silk mesh are still evident. Numbers at the edge of the ultrasound images represent 1-cm depth increments.
