Reconstruction of massive full‐thickness abdominal wall defect: successful treatment with nonabsorbable mesh, negative pressure wound therapy, and split‐skin grafting
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate that it is possible to use a nonabsorbable mesh for abdominal wall reconstruction after total wound rupture and successfully split-skin graft directly on the mesh. Sufficient granulation tissue formation prior to skin grafting was obtained with long-term use of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT).

Matching Biological Mesh and Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in Reconstructing an Open Abdomen Defect
Reconstruction of open abdominal defects is a clinical problem which general and plastic surgeons have to address in cooperation. We report the case of a 66-year-old man who presented an abdominal dehiscence after multiple laparotomies for a sigmoid-rectal adenocarcinoma that infiltrated into the abdominal wall, subsequently complicated by peritonitis and enteric fistula. A cutaneous dehiscence...

Reconstructing scalp defects can be challenging for a plastic surgeon. For this purpose, different procedures such as primary repair and coverage with skin grafts or flaps can be considered. Sometimes, the external table of the skull can be removed completely to the diploic space. At the same time or after the formation of granulation tissue, the diploic space can be covered with split-thicknes...
