Abstract
PURPOSE: In a previous study, we have shown that non-cross-linked porcine dermal scaffolds (NCPDS) are a safe and effective alternative to prosthetic mesh in the reconstruction of complicated abdominal wall defects. Here, we report the long-term outcomes of abdominal wall reconstruction using NCPDS in a larger patient population. METHODS: Patients who underwent abdominal wall reconstruction with NCPDS between May 2006 and December 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. Analysis of demographics, indications for NCPDS placement, surgical technique, complications, and follow-up data was performed. RESULTS: NCPDS was used for abdominal wall repair in 40 patients. In all patients, NCPDS was positioned using an intraperitoneal technique. At a mean follow-up time of 40.1 months, most patients had successful outcomes. Complications included seroma (21 %), recurrence (7.9 %), and infection (5.2 %); these rates are comparable to our initial report. Two patients died from multi-organ failure unrelated to NCPDS placement. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that complex abdominal wall defects can be successfully reconstructed using NCPDS with a low rate of recurrence and complications.
