Complex ventral hernia repair with a human acellular dermal matrix

Laparoscopic Paraesophageal Hernia Repair with Acellular Dermal Matrix Cruroplasty

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic paraesophageal hernia repair (LPEHR) has been shown to be both safe and efficacious. Compulsory operative steps include reduction of the stomach from the mediastinum, resection of the mediastinal hernia sac, ensuring an appropriate intraabdominal esophageal length, and crural closure. The use of mesh materials in the repair of hiatal hernias remains controversial. Synthe...

Outcomes Following Placement of Non–Cross-Linked Porcine-Derived Acellular Dermal Matrix in Complex Ventral Hernia Repair

Repair of complex ventral hernias frequently results in postoperative complications. This study assessed postoperative outcomes in a consecutive cohort of patients with ventral hernias who underwent herniorrhaphy using components separation techniques and reinforcement with non-cross-linked intact porcine-derived acellular dermal matrix (PADM) performed by a single surgeon between 2008 and 2012...

Use and Indications of Human Acellular Dermis in Ventral Hernia Repair at a Community Hospital

Background. To evaluate the use, indications, and short-term outcomes for human acellular dermis. Methods. We retrospectively reviewed patients having human acellular dermis placed for ventral hernia repair from January 2008 through October 2009. Demographic information, operative details, and outcomes of patients with and without recurrences were compared; a P value <0.05 was considered signif...

Septal perforation repair with acellular human dermal allograft.

BACKGROUND Connective tissue autografts are commonly used as interpositional grafts between septal flaps in the repair of septal perforations. The most common graft materials used include temporalis fascia and pericranium, both of which are accompanied by donor site morbidity, do not provide septal bulk, and are exceedingly thin and difficult to manage. OBJECTIVE To study the use of an acellu...
