Utilization of bovine acellular dermal matrix for abdominal wall reconstruction: a retrospective case series.

چکیده
Abdominal wall reconstruction using nonabsorbable synthetic material can be challenging due to the risk for bacterial colonization and subsequent complications. Bioprosthetic materials are a safe alternative that can facilitate soft tissue reconstruction, including abdominal wall repair. To assess the short-term outcomes of using a bovine acellular dermal matrix in contaminated postsurgical wounds, charts of all patients who were managed using the bovine acellular dermal matrix between November 2006 and July 2007 were reviewed. Six related procedures were performed in five patients: two men and three women, median age 61 years (range 50 to 66 years), median body mass index 35 kg/m2 (range 28 to 51 kg/m2). Patients underwent parastomal hernia repair and anterior abdominal wall reconstruction (one patient), reinforcement of colostomy site (one patient), and repair of large anterior abdominal wall defects following bowel resection (three patients). Clinical follow-up was complete on all patients until December 2008. Three of the five patients did not develop any wound-related complications during a median follow-up of 10 months (range 9 to 17 months). The two patients who developed complications (2 months and 10 days postoperatively, respectively) had a body mass index of 42 and 51, respectively, and multiple comorbidities. The authors' initial experience with bovine acellular dermal matrix for various soft tissue reconstruction suggests the product is safe when used in uninfected wounds. Further experience is required to determine the effectiveness, complication profile, and feasibility of using this bioprosthesis in clinical practice and to evaluate its use in infected wounds.

BACKGROUND Reconstruction of the anterior abdominal wall is a complex procedure that can be complicated by contamination, loss of domain, previous scarring or radiotherapy, and reduced availability of local tissues. With the introduction of acellular dermal matrices to clinical use, it was hoped that many of the problems associated with previous synthetic materials could be overcome. With their...

BACKGROUND Complex abdominal wall defects can present a significant challenge to the reconstructive surgeon. In 2003, acellular dermal matrix (ADM) was introduced as an alternative to synthetic materials with suggestions that it has improved capacity to integrate with surrounding tissues with less inclination towards infection, erosion, extrusion, adhesion formation and rejection compared with ...

INTRODUCTION Synthetic mesh has been used traditionally to repair abdominal wall defects, but its use is limited in the case of bacterial contamination. New biological materials are now being used successfully for delayed primary closure of contaminated abdominal wall defects. The costs of biological materials may prevent surgeons from using them. We compared the conventional staged repair of c...

In the last years there has been a growing demand of plastic surgery for soft tissue reconstruction. In response to this, many biological and synthetic devices have been produced, aiming to allow wide and complex body reshapings. Acellular dermal matrices are one of these devices, and are made of human or animal tissues made acellular after their sampling. They are used for cervical, breast and...
