Acellular dermal matrix in premature ejaculation

Acellular dermal matrix in abdominal wall reconstruction.

Abdominal wall reconstruction is a complex and challenging surgical undertaking. While permanent prosthetic mesh is considered the gold standard for minimizing hernia recurrence, placement of synthetic mesh is sometimes imprudent due to contamination or risk of infection. Acellular dermal matrices (ADM) offer an exciting biologic alternative. This article provides a historical perspective on th...

Acellular dermal matrix in primary breast reconstruction.

The use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in many plastic surgery procedures, including breast reconstruction, has increased dramatically in recent years. While expander/implant reconstruction can be performed successfully with standard techniques, the introduction of ADM has added a new tool with which to achieve lasting, predictable results. This article is a summary of existing literature on ...

Repair of giant omphalocele in a premature neonate with non-cross-linked porcine acellular dermal matrix (Strattice Tissue Matrix)

The management of giant omphalocele (GO) is a major challenge in pediatric surgery and there are many different surgical strategies described. Here we report a complicated case in which the abdominal wall in a premature neonate (gestational age 33 þ 2 weeks and 1700 g) with GO was reconstructed with a non-cross-linked acellular porcine dermal matrix (Strattice ) combined with vacuum therapy. Th...

The role of pores in acellular dermal matrix substitute.

To promote the engraftment rate of autologous skin combined with acellular dermal matrix (ADM), ADM was punched to produce regular pores from 500 to 800 µm in diameter, separated by a distance of 3 to 5 mm. The porous ADM was then implanted beneath the flap and transplanted onto an open full-thickness defect wound combined with autografts about 0.2 mm thick in a rat model. The change in diamete...
