Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Managing complex abdominal wall injuries acutely or at the time of reconstruction is challenging. Contaminated surgical fields, devitalized tissue, intestinal fistula and tissues under tension contribute to clinical scenarios where closure is not possible or morbidity is unacceptable. The introduction of an absorbable extracellular matrix derived from porcine small intestinal submucosa (Surgisis) adds a potentially useful tool to the surgeon's armamentarium. A retrospective case series of the initial experience in 5 patients with complex abdominal wall injury following trauma managed with Surgisis is described. A review of the literature describing the use of Surgisis in contaminated fields is also performed. |
