background we present a novel method for augmenting the standard c-v flap used for nipple reconstruction with a free dermal graft which aims to improve the appearance of the nipple reconstruction, decrease loss of projection and improve patient satisfaction overall. methods the surgical technique for performing a free dermal graft augmentation of a cv flap is described. all patients who underwe...

statement of problem: various surgical procedures have been used to achieve root coverage and subepithelial connective tissue graft (sctg) is identified as one of the most successful techniques. recently, acellular dermal matrix allograft (adma) has been developed as a substitute for sctg to avoid removing the palatal connective tissue. purpose: the present study compared the clinical efficienc...

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...

BACKGROUND There are several options for replacement of the dermal layer in full-thickness skin defects. In this study, we present the surgical outcomes of reconstruction using acellular dermal substitutes by means of objective and subjective scar assessment tools. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 78 patients who had undergone autologous split-thickness skin graft wi...

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES Obtaining root coverage has become an important part of periodontal therapy. The aims of this studyare to evaluate the clinical efficacy of acellular dermal matrix graft in the coverage of denuded roots and also to examine the change in the width of keratinized gingiva. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 20 sites with more than or equal to 2 mm of recession depth were taken ...

Introduction  The penis eventually needs specific cutaneous coverage in the context of reconstructive procedures following trauma or congenital anomalies. Local flaps are the first choice but are not always available after multiple previous procedures. In these cases, skin graft and dermal matrices should be considered. Materials and Methods  This study was a retrospective review of the past 4 ...

BACKGROUND Acellular human dermal matrix grafts (Graftjacket; Wright Medical Technology, Arlington, TN, USA) are used clinically for rotator cuff augmentation without a detailed understanding of their biomechanical effects. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of augmentation with dermal grafts on the biomechanical effects of rotator cuff repairs. METHODS Nine matched pairs of...
