Porcine dermal collagen (Permacol^®) for chest and abdominal wall reconstruction in thoraco-omphalopagus conjoined twin separation

Authors: Jonathan Saul Karpelowsky, Alastair J. W. Millar

Published in: Pediatric Surgery International | Issue 3/2010

Abstract

Each set of conjoined twins presents a unique challenge, which centers on the ability to separate and if necessary reconstruct shared organs and to achieve subsequent skin cover of the often very large residual defect after completion of the separation. This report describes the use of a bioprosthetic Permacol^® derived from porcine dermal collagen to reconstruct the chest and abdominal wall.
