Uso del regenerador dérmico Integra® como material de relleno para el tratamiento de defectos del contorno corporal

Abstract

In the treatment of body contour defects we can use many biological and synthetic products. They have many inconvenient effects as variable reabsortion, intolerance, infection, granulomas, calcification, etc. In moderate defects, the authors propose the use of modificated Integra® dermal regeneration template without the superficial silicone layer. Two patients are reported, one with a traumatic frontal defect and another with a depression in the anterior thorax after postmastectomy breast reconstruction post mastectomy. In both we put Integra ® into a subcutaneous pocket and we bent it to increase lamina volume. Results are predictable, permanent, with minimal reabsortion after 6 and 12 months follow up. Integra ® will be autologous neodermis. The authors recommend the dermal regeneration template for small or medium defects; in large defects they prefer autologous flaps with or without prosthesis.
