OBJECTIVE To report on the clinical benefits of platelet gel application in a non-regenerating skin wound. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION An 84-year-old man presented with a severe wound with a regular circumference in the frontal region which resulted in a complete loss of epidermis and dermis. The skin lesion, induced by cryosurgery used to remove a basal-cell carcinoma, had previou...

Excessive alveolar bone resorption is commonly found when teeth are extracted. This is a problem in anterior part of mouth because it will result in an unaesthetic pontic on a narrow hollowed out alveolar ridge. Yet, another problem is gingival recession and root exposure in adjacent teeth which represent a therapeutic problem to the clinician.Use of acellular dermal matrix graft is an appropri...

Although an epidermal cyst is a common cutaneous lesion that can present anywhere on the body, it not easily found penis. A 64-year-old man visited Hanyang University Guri Hospital with soft, large, subcutaneous mass right ventral side of penile shaft caused distortion. He had augmentation penoplasty 20 years ago dermal fat graft, but experienced any asymmetry or infection penis during postoper...

OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of exogenous vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on skin graft survival in Sprague-Dawley rats. DESIGN Dorsal full-thickness skin grafts were harvested from 18 Sprague-Dawley rats. To simulate human full-thickness skin grafts, the panniculus carnosus muscle was removed from the undersurface of each graft. The recipient beds were delivered subfascial injec...

Background Few comparative studies have reported on the use of biologic grafts for irreparable massive rotator cuff tears. The purpose of this study was to assess the results of arthroscopic bridging graft in irreparable massive rotator cuff tears using an autogenic long head of biceps tendon (LHBT) or an allogenic dermal patch (ADP). Methods We retrospectively reviewed 24 patients treated us...

BACKGROUND The surgical repair of abdominal wall defects that cannot be closed primarily in contaminated fields is a difficult problem. The use of nonabsorbable synthetic materials usually is contraindicated in this setting because of the risk for colonization and chronic infection of the mesh. In this study we sought to determine the safety and efficacy of implanted human acellular dermal graf...

The one-step surgical procedure for dermal substitutes combined with topical negative pressure (TNP) has proven effective for treating deep skin defects with improved graft take. The primary mechanism by which TNP improves autograft take is unknown. Some studies suggest that TNP promotes the rapid angiogenesis of dermal substitutes, improving graft take. However, at the early stage of one-step ...

This case report describes a modified connective tissue graft wall technique with enamel matrix derivative proposed to treat vertical bony defects. The surgical procedure consisted of coronally advanced flap porcine-derived acellular dermal placed below, acting as buccal soft the defect. patient showed defect between #12 and #13 horizontal bone loss deep infrabony component at mesial area canin...
