introduction: dorsal nasal irregularity is a complication of rhinoplasty surgery, mostly seen in patients with thin skin. acellular dermis (cenoderm) and homologous fascia lata covering the nasal bone cartilage structure have been used to achieve a smooth surface. in this study, we aimed to investigate clinical outcomes using these two materials. materials and methods: after a standard rhinopla...

Limitations of synthetic biomaterials for abdominal wall repair have led investigators to seek naturally derived matrices, such as human acellular dermis, because of their excellent biocompatibility and their ability to naturally interface with host tissues with minimal tissue response. In this study, we investigated two different biomaterials derived from human dermis (FlexHD acellular dermis ...

To explore the profibrotic characteristics of the autografted dermis, acellular dermal matrix, and dermal fibroblasts from superficial/deep layers of pig skin, 93 wounds were established on the dorsa of 7 pigs. 72 wounds autografted with the superficial/deep dermis and acellular dermal matrix served as the superficial/deep dermis and acellular dermal matrix group, respectively, and were sampled...

several techniques and materials have been introduced for the treatment of gingival recession defects. this article reports the case of a 43-year old female patient with chief complaint of esthetic problem, presenting multiple gingival recession defects in anterior maxilla. cenoderm combined with coronally positioned flap was used for management of six teeth with gingival recession. complete ro...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To evaluate the effectiveness of free fat grafting in preventing Frey's syndrome (FS) and facial depression after parotidectomy compared with acellular dermis. METHODS A prospective randomized trial was performed. Patients who underwent parotidectomy were randomly assigned to abdominal free fat or acellular dermis grafting groups. The occurrence of FS, the aesthetic outc...

OBJECTIVE To compare the postoperative healing profiles of graft materials used for endoscopic repair of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study with 1 to 21 months of follow-up. SETTING Tertiary referral, academic medical center. PATIENTS Consecutive sample of patients undergoing endoscopic repair of CSF leak from March 2007 through May 2009. INTERVENTION Endo...

Bio-engineered skin and soft tissue substitutes may be either acellular or cellular. Acellular products (eg, dermis with cellular material removed) contain a matrix or scaffold composed of materials such as collagen, hyaluronic acid, and fibronectin. The various acellular dermal matrix products can differ in a number of ways, including as species source (human, bovine, porcine), tissue source (...

Objectives: To describe the versatility of acellular fetal bovine dermal matrix as an alternative to human cadaveric allograft for head and neck reconstructive procedures in children. Study Design: Case series with chart review. Methods: A database of pediatric operative procedures was queried for the use of acellular fetal bovine dermal matrix over a 16-month period. Indications for reconstruc...
