The Role of Biomaterials in Upper Digestive Tract Transoral Reconstruction

This study aims to establish whether the use of biomaterials, particularly polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), for surgical reconstruction esophagus with templates, Montgomery salivary tube, after radical oncology surgery malignant neoplasia is an optimal choice patients’ safety and function preservation organ rehabilitation. Structural analysis by Raman spectrometry biomechanical properties dynamic mechanical are performed fatigue strength toughness, essential factors in durability a prosthesis practice esophagus. Nanocomposites silicone elastomers nanoparticles used implantable devices present risks infection when required perform effort long periods time. report takes into account effect silver (Ag) on using (PDMS) matrix, representative silicon devices. PDMS 5% (wt) Ag 100–150 nm during testing at shear loses elasticity 400 loading-unloading cycles up 15% strain. The strength, maximum as well clinical key issues designing tube derivates appropriate behavior each patient. Prosthesis design needs indulge both outcomes methods research field biomaterials.
