Abstract: Meshed Acellular Dermal Matrix with Overlying Split Thickness Skin Graft for Scalp Reconstruction
نویسنده
چکیده
RESULTS: Following a normal, spontaneous vaginal delivery, the patient underwent bone grafts and ORIF of the left forearm and metacarpal bones. We then utilized the newly available and pliable abdominal skin to cover the large soft tissue defect. The abdominal wall flap was raised, thinned and then the injured extremity was carefully inset in a subcutaneous abdominal pocket and a meshed bilayer wound matrix was placed peripherally to facilitate tension-free closure. Over the next 6 weeks, the patient underwent a series of local flap advancements. The abdominal wall flap successfully covered the extremity.

Single-Stage Full-Thickness Scalp Reconstruction Using Acellular Dermal Matrix and Skin Graft
Full-thickness scalp defects with exposed calvarium pose a reconstructive challenge, particularly in patients with extensive comorbidities. A single-stage acellular dermal matrix and split-thickness skin graft reconstruction represents a simple and valuable surgical approach to achieving durable scalp coverage without requiring a donor-site or prolonged treatment. Reconstruction of full-thickne...
متن کاملThe Use of Acellular Dermal Matrix for Coverage of Exposed Joint and Extensor Mechanism in Thermally Injured Patients With Few Options
INTRODUCTION One of the most devastating complications of deep burn injuries to the hand and finger is the exposure of joint, tendon, and neurovascular structures. The inevitable consequence of such injuries is severe deformity, often requiring joint fusions and digital amputations. Complicating this scenario is the anatomic limitation of few local and reliable soft tissue flaps available for t...
متن کاملOvine Forestomach Matrix as a Substrate for Single-Stage Split-Thickness Graft Reconstruction
OBJECTIVE Split skin graft reconstruction of scalp defects often leaves an obvious contour defect. Here, we aimed to demonstrate the use of a decellularized extracellular matrix biomaterial, termed ovine forestomach matrix (OFM), as a substrate for split-thickness skin grafts (STSGs) for scalp reconstruction. METHODS Following full-thickness tumor excision, OFM was applied directly to skull p...

The aim of this study was to explore the clinical value of the porcine acellular dermal xenograft (ADX) in combination with autologous split-thickness skin and pure autologous split-thickness skin grafting applied in deep full-thickness burns and scar wounds. A total of 30 patients with deep burns were randomly divided into experimental and control groups following escharectomy. The patients we...
متن کاملAcellular Dermal Matrix to Treat Full Thickness Skin Defects: Follow-Up Subjective and Objective Skin Quality Assessments
BACKGROUND There are several options for replacement of the dermal layer in full-thickness skin defects. In this study, we present the surgical outcomes of reconstruction using acellular dermal substitutes by means of objective and subjective scar assessment tools. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 78 patients who had undergone autologous split-thickness skin graft wi...
