OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of an allogenic acellular dermal matrix (ADM) as an interpositional graft to prevent Frey's syndrome after parotidectomy. METHOD We studied a total of 168 patients with benign parotid gland tumours, including 89 patients with pleomorphic adenoma; 45 with Warthin tumour; 17 with basal cell adenoma; and 17 with miscellaneous tumours. The patients were divided into ...

Abstract Introduction Plaque incision and grafting (PIG) is indicated for men with complex or severe penile curvature, several surgical options to treat PD have been performed. Surgical treatment use graft, as these procedures aim maintain length. Objective To assess outcomes following plaque excision dermal in the of Peyronie's disease. Methods A prospective study, was performed at Binh Dan Ho...

INTRODUCTION A non-cross-linked porcine acellular dermal matrix was used to reinforce an esophageal hiatal hernia repair. A second surgery was required 11 months later to repair a slipped Nissen; this allowed for examination of the hiatal hernia repair and showed the graft to be well vascularized and fully incorporated. CASE PRESENTATION A 71-year-old Caucasian woman presented with substernal...

Full-thickness scalp defects with exposed calvarium pose a reconstructive challenge, particularly in patients with extensive comorbidities. A single-stage acellular dermal matrix and split-thickness skin graft reconstruction represents a simple and valuable surgical approach to achieving durable scalp coverage without requiring a donor-site or prolonged treatment. Reconstruction of full-thickne...

Dermal melanocytosis is characterized by the presence of ectopic melanocytes in the dermis. The most common forms include the Mongolian spot, blue nevus, nevus of Ota, and nevus of Ito. Some types of dermal melanocytosis do not fit into any of these morphologic categories, however. Our case demonstrated an extensive amount of uniform deep blue patches of nevi with unilateral distribution on the...

BACKGROUND Considering the common origin of skin and peripheral nervous system, a tube of dermal layer of skin hypothetically can be an ideal conduit for nerve reconstruction. An experimental study performed to evaluate the nerve regeneration of efficacy into a dermal tube. METHODS Sixty male Wistar rats were used. A 10 mm gap was produced in right sciatic nerves. In group A the autogenous ne...

In this study, we explored dermal dendritic cell (DC) homeostasis in mice and humans both in the steady state and after hematopoietic cell transplantation. We discovered that dermal DCs proliferate in situ in mice and human quiescent dermis. In parabiotic mice with separate organs but shared blood circulation, the majority of dermal DCs failed to be replaced by circulating precursors for >6 mo....
