Our aim was to explore the indications for and outcome of biological prostheses to repair high risk abdominal wall defects in children.
A retrospective chart review was performed of all cases of abdominal wall reconstruction in a single institution between 2007 and 2015. Demographic and clinical variables, technique and complications were described and compared between prosthesis types.
A total of 23 patients underwent abdominal wall reconstruction using a biological prosthesis including 17 neonates. The main indication was gastroschisis (17 patients) followed by ruptured omphalocele and miscellaneous conditions. Alloderm™ was most commonly used followed by Surgisis™, Strattice™, Flex-HD™ and Permacol™. In 22 cases wounds were contaminated or infected. Open bowel/stomas were present in 9 cases. Skin was not closed in 11 cases. Post-operative complication rate was 30% and hernia recurrence rate was 17% after a mean follow-up time of 16 months.
The use of a biological prosthesis may offer advantages over a synthetic mesh in pediatric high risk abdominal wall defects. The surgeon should be ready to consider its use in selected cases.
我们的目的是探讨生物假体修复儿童高危腹壁缺损的适应证及疗效。
对2007年至2015年期间单一机构内所有腹壁重建病例进行回顾性病历审查。描述并比较了不同假体类型之间的人口统计学和临床变量、技术及并发症情况。
共有23例患者使用生物假体进行腹壁重建,其中包括17例新生儿。主要适应证为腹裂(17例患者),其次为脐膨出破裂及其他情况。最常用的是Alloderm™,其次是Surgisis™、Strattice™、Flex-HD™和Permacol™。22例伤口存在污染或感染。9例存在开放性肠管/造口。11例未缝合皮肤。平均随访16个月后,术后并发症发生率为30%,疝复发率为17%。
在儿童高危腹壁缺损中,使用生物假体可能比合成补片具有优势。外科医生应准备好在特定病例中考虑使用。
