We describe our initial experience with the novel application of processed human cadaveric allograft skin in reconstruction of a damaged corpus cavernosum associated with distal extrusion of a penile prosthesis. The material was evaluated for ease of reconstruction, adequacy of repair, and outcome. Human processed dermis allograft requires no intraoperative harvesting, is technically easy to fa...

BACKGROUND Many clinical studies revealed the effectiveness of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in the treatment of mucogingival defects. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to compare the efficacy of ADM-based root coverage (RC) and ADM-based increase in keratinized tissues to other commonly used mucogingival surgeries. METHODS Meta-analysis was limited to randomized clinical trials (RCT). Ar...

The last decade has ushered in a rapidly expanding global discussion regarding acellular dermal matrix (ADM) applications, economic analyses, technical considerations, benefits, and risks, with recent emphasis on ADM use in breast surgery. This study aims to evaluate global trends in ADM research using bibliometric analysis. The top nine Plastic Surgery journals were determined by impact factor...

PurPoSe: Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has gained popularity to enhance lower pole coverage in immediate implant or expander reconstruction. Advantages of ADM include improved rapid reconstruction, postoperative expander filling and lower capsular contracture. Potential trade-offs include higher seroma, infection and cost. Alternatives for implant coverage include local fascial flaps and inferi...

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...
