Reconstruction of bilateral tendoachilles with fascia lata graft

Reconstruction of the pectoralis major tendon with fascia lata allograft.

Fascia lata composite graft for right ventricular outflow tract and pulmonary artery reconstruction. Surgical technique.

Because there is no 'ideal' method for the complete correction of some of the more complex congenital cardiac abnormalities, a technique of making a composite graft of autologous fascia lata has been developed. Three types of grafts are described, all of them being based on the same general principle. The composite graft comprises a conduit, which serves to enlarge or reconstruct the outflow tr...

Prelaminated Fascia Lata Free Flap for Oronasal Fistula Reconstruction

Oronasal fistulae are frequently symptomatic due to rhinolalia and regurgitation of solid food and liquids through the palate.1 When asymptomatic, fistulae can be managed with conservative therapies. Local flaps are useful to close small fistulae but cannot be used in bigger ones and cases with bad-quality surrounding tissues. Ideally, a thin double-layer mucosal tissue is required, but there a...

Reconstruction of long digital extensor tendon by cranial tibial muscle fascia graft in a dog

Tendon rupture in dogs is generally the result of a direct trauma. This report described the use of adjacent muscle autogenic fascial graft for reconstruction of distal rupture of long digital extensor tendon in a dog. A two-year-old male mix breed dog, was presented with a non-weight bearing lameness of the right hind limb and a deep rupture of lateral side of right tarsus. History taking reve...

Reconstruction of Radiated Gluteal Defects following Sarcoma Resection with Pedicled Sensate Tensor Fascia Lata Flaps

Sarcomas of the gluteal region often result in sizable defects following resection that are challenging to reconstruct due to their location, particularly in patients who have received radiation therapy. Reconstruction of these defects has been seldom discussed in the literature. We present two patients with large radiated gluteal defects following sarcoma resection, of which one patient receiv...
