Reconstruction of pulmonary artery with porcine small intestinal submucosa in a lamb surgical model: Viability and growth potential.
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the time-dependent remodeling and growth potential of porcine small intestine submucosa as a biomaterial for the reconstruction of pulmonary arteries in a lamb model. METHODS Left pulmonary arteries were partially replaced with small intestine submucosal biomaterial in 6 lambs. Two animals each were humanely killed at 1, 3, and 6 months. Computed tomographic...
متن کاملPartial nephrectomy using porcine small intestinal submucosa
BACKGROUND Whenever technically feasible and oncologically justified, nephron-sparing surgery is the current standard of care for localized renal cell carcinomas (RCC). The main complications of partial nephrectomy, especially for large and centrally located tumors, are urinary leakage and parenchymal bleeding. We prospectively evaluated the pros and cons of using porcine small intestinal submu...
متن کاملLaparoscopic Herniorrhaphy with Porcine Small Intestinal Submucosa: A Preliminary Study
INTRODUCTION Using mesh or a synthetic prosthesis during the laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernias has been demonstrated to be safe and effective. A new material, porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS mesh), has been successfully used in canine and rodent animal models with excellent results. This mesh is degradable and resorbable with a marked decrease in the possibility of becoming infect...
متن کاملEvaluation of Porcine Small Intestinal Submucosa in Achilles Tendon Repair
Background: Tendon defects remain a major concern in orthopedic surgery because of the limited availability of tendon autografts. Since the extracellular collagen-based matrix derived from porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) has been successfully used in repair of many tissues, such as abdominal wall, vessels and bladder, we hypothesized that SIS can be used to repair an experimentally ind...
متن کاملA Novel Technology for Vaginal Reconstruction Using Porcine Small Intestinal Submucosa
1 Xianghua Liang, MD Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Beijing Jishuitan Hospital Beijing, China Sir: U to 76% of women experience decreased genital sensation,1 which is most commonly exemplified by the feeling of a widened vagina. In this communication, we report a novel surgery using biological grafts for vaginal reconstruction. A widened vagina is a type of pelvic floor dysfunction. Re...
