Porcine Dermal Collagen (Permacol) for Sternal Reconstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
In chest wall reconstruction after wide chest wall resection, the use of a musculocutaneous flap or prosthetic materials is inevitable for maintaining thoracic movement and a closed pleural cavity. We report a case of a 63-year-old male with a large invasive thymic carcinoma in the anterior mediastinum. The mass measured 6.8 cm and involved the sternum, left side of the parasternal area, ribs, and intercostal muscles. The patient underwent subtotal sternectomy, radical thymectomy, and reconstruction with biological mesh (Permacol). Successful chest wall reconstruction without any other complications was achieved, demonstrating the effectiveness of Permacol.

Esthetic reconstruction of cleft lip nose deformity is a challenging task in surgical management of patients with orofacial cleft. The author reconstructed cleft lip nose deformity effectively using autogenous auricular cartilage and a relatively new graft material of porcine dermal collagen, Permacol™. After correction of the deformed lower third of the nose with patient's auricular cartilage,...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Porcine Dermal Collagen (Permacol) Implant for Abdominal Wall Reconstruction in a Pediatric Multitrauma Patient
The presence of a contaminated surgical field in abdominal wall defects caused by trauma presents a challenge for surgeons. Both primary suture and synthetic meshes are strongly discouraged as surgical treatments in such cases. We describe the use of a porcine dermal collagen (Permacol) implant in an eight-year-old patient with multiple injuries. Three months after discharge, the child remains ...

The repair of massive rotator cuff tears can be very challenging. Different surgical techniques are described in the literature, including debridement of the cuff with subacromial decompression, attempts at direct partial repair, various tendon transfers, shoulder hemiarthroplasty, reversed shoulder arthroplasty and allograft augmentation. Following favourable published evidence of the use of p...
متن کاملThoracic Wall Reconstruction with Acellular Porcine Dermal Collagen Matrix.
BACKGROUND Major thoracic wall resections require the implantation of foreign materials for reconstruction and stabilization. Recently, biological collagen matrixes have emerged as an alternative to the routinely used synthetic materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospectively, we analyzed our initial experience of chest wall reconstruction on large defects using a cross-linked porcine derma...

Rectocele is an herniation of the rectum through the rectovaginal fascia and posterior vaginal wall causing a protrusion into the vaginal lumen. It’s a common disorder in women with history of multiple vaginal deliveries and it is asymptomatic in 80% of cases. Symptomatic rectocele is less common, usually affects postmenopausal females, and results in obstructed defecation and constipation. Sur...
