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...

purpose: to compare mersilene mesh and autogenous fascia lata in the management of low-function ptosis. methods: a randomized clinical trial was performed on 31 eyelids with poor levator function. patients were randomly assigned to two groups: 16 eyelids in the mersilene mesh group and 15 eyelids in the autogenous fascia lata group. results: nine patients with congenital unilateral and 11 patie...

PURPOSE To describe a technique of endoscopic harvesting of autogenous fascia lata. METHODS A retrospective, noncomparative clinical study to evaluate the technique of videoendoscope assistance in harvesting autogenous fascia lata was conducted during a 1-year period in 2002. A small incision approximately 2 cm long is made over the lateral aspect of the thigh, either as a low or high approac...

The aim of this study was to characterize and compare the morphological and histomorphometric characteristics of the pectoral fascia, fascia lata and ventral rectus sheath. Twenty cadaveric samples of these fascias were analyzed and stained with hematoxylin and eosin, orcein, Van Gieson, Masson's trichrome and Verhoeff¨s stain (1200 slides in total). Morphological evaluation, semiquantitative, ...

PURPOSE Conjunctival erosion in glaucoma drainage device surgery can be prevented by the use of patch grafts to cover the extraocular portion of the tube. Several materials can be used, among them human preserved fascia lata. METHODS The authors present a case of a failed Ahmed glaucoma valve due to encapsulation of the bleb, in which the fascia lata patch placed to cover the tube was removed...

Background: In 1991, Wright described a superior oblique expander procedure for browns syndrome and superior overaction with good results. Originally, this procedure has been performed with silicone band expander. The aim of this study was to report the results of treatment of a series of patients with A-pattern strabismus associated with overacting superior oblique muscle using the fascia lata...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the initial biomechanical properties of a fan-folded, single-loop construct of fan-folded fascia lata allograft in comparison to other graft tissues currently being used for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. METHODS Eighteen fascia lata specimens were harvested from 11 donors and fan folded through a proprietary process. Bone-pa...
