Abstract

Diaphragmatic reconstruction remains a challenging problem. There is limited information concerning the use of small intestinal submucosa (SIS) in congenital diaphragmatic hernia repair. A canine model was used to evaluate the use of a SIS patch in diaphragmatic reconstruction. Eleven beagle puppies (1.6-4.2 kg, 8 weeks old) underwent left subcostal laparotomy, central left hemidiaphragm excision (2 x 7 cm, 50% loss), and reconstruction with a 4-ply group I (n = 5) or 8-ply group II (n = 6) SIS patch. Chest radiographs were taken at time of operation and 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Animals were killed at 6 months. Adhesion formation (both pleural and abdominal), gross visual evaluation of the patch, and histology were compared. In group I (4-ply), 1 animal died at 3 months from patch deterioration accompanied by stomach herniation that resulted in respiratory failure. In the 4 remaining animals, chest radiographs showed no evidence of herniation or eventration. On physical examination, there was no evidence of chest wall deformity. During gross surgical examination, the 4-ply patches showed thinning, multiple defects, and liver herniation in 3 animals. In 1 pup, the patch was thickened, intact, well incorporated at the repa...Continue Reading
