The use of a human dura mater allograft for the repair of a contaminated abdominal wall defect: Report of a case
この論文をさがす
説明
A case report of an infected full-thickness abdominal wall defect treated successfully with a human dura mater allograft is presented. A review of the literature and a discussion of prosthetic abdominal wall repair is also included. A 46-year-old woman presented with multiple small bowel perforations and a large abdominal wall defect due to a motor vehicle collision. A gamma-irradiated human dura mater prosthesis was used to repair the large abdominal wall defect which had been infected by a jejunal fistula. After more than 4 years of follow-up, the patient is free of complications, including wound infection, herniation, and ileus. The human dura mater allograft is thus considered to be a useful prosthesis for repairing potentially infected wounds.
