          Abstract

          The use of graft materials in bladder mucosa has been examined in animal models, but debate exists over which materials are effective. Intestine has been used as a substitute in augmentation cystoplasty for patients with neuropathic bladder, but serious adverse effects of the operation have occurred in some instances. We report a case of a successful repair of an enterovesical fistula by use of bovine pericardium. The patient has remained well for 2.5 years. We suggest that bovine pericardium may be a suitable option as a bladder substitute.

          Repair of abdominal wall defects with bovine pericardium.

          Jonathan N. Limpert, Ankit Desai, Arthur Kumpf … (2009)
          Ventral hernia repair with prosthetic mesh has recurrence rates up to 54% and is contraindicated in the setting of infection. The aim of this study was to provide our experience with acellular bovine pericardium (Veritas collagen matrix; Synovis Life Technologies, Inc., St. Paul, MN) in complex abdominal wall reconstruction where prosthetic mesh had failed or was contraindicated. Between 2005 and 2008, a retrospective review of a single general surgeon's practice identified patients reconstructed with acellular bovine pericardium. Thirty primary or recurrent ventral hernias were treated in 26 patients. All patients presented with either contaminated wounds or failure of a prosthetic mesh material. Hernia size ranged from 20 cm(2) to 600 cm(2) (mean 111 cm(2)). Seven patients had previous hernia repair with prosthetic mesh, and 16 patients had ongoing infection or gross contamination at the time of repair. The mean follow-up was 22 months. The hernia recurrence rate in our series was 19% with no fistula development. Acellular bovine pericardium's high strength, minimal infection rate, and low cost allow its use in the reconstruction of complex abdominal wall defects.

            Biodegradable pericardial implants for bladder augmentation: a 2.5-year study in dogs.

            H Kambic, R R Kay, J. Chen … (1992)
            Bladder augmentation using biodegradable pericardial tissue was evaluated in canine bladders. Acetic acid and acetic anhydride treated pericardial tissue grafts were stored in 75% ethanol for 18 to 27 months before implant. Ten dogs weighing 20 to 25 kg. were subjected to a 50% partial cystectomy. After careful separation of the mucosa, bladder muscle and adventitial layers a pericardial graft volumetrically equivalent to the portion of the bladder removed was sutured to the bladder remnant in 2 layers. In 1 control dog the bladder was opened, 50% of the bladder was removed and the bladder was closed primarily. In another control dog the excised bladder was replaced with fresh chemically treated patch material that was never subjected to ethanol storage. Excretory urography and cystography were performed on all dogs. Urodynamics with filling pressures and bladder volumes measured before and after the operation at intervals of up to 36 months confirmed that adequate bladder capacity was achieved. There were no operative complications. Postmortem histological evaluations revealed a smooth epithelialized inner surface with no traces of any surface irregularities or suture lines. The bladder apex showed an intact epithelium and the absence of a smooth muscle layer. The biodegradable acetylated tissue provides an intact structural reservoir for urine and serves as a template for epithelial regeneration. This permits volumetric bladder enlargement while the graft is progressively reabsorbed with time.

              Laparoscopic augmentation cystoplasty with different biodegradable grafts in an animal model.

              A J Portis, A M Elbahnasy, A L Shalhav … (2000)
              Recently a variety of biodegradable organic materials have been used for bladder wall replacement. We sought to study the effectiveness of 4 different types of biodegradable materials for bladder augmentation using laparoscopic techniques. Thirty one minipigs underwent successful transperitoneal laparoscopic partial cystectomy and subsequent closure (6 control) or patch augmentation (25): porcine bowel acellular tissue matrix (ATM) (6), bovine pericardium (BPC) (6), human placental membranes (HPM) (6) or porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) (7). An intracorporeal suturing technique with the EndoStitch device (U.S. Surgical, Norwalk, CT) and Lapra-Ty clips (Ethicon, Enodsurgery Inc. Cincinnati, OH) was used to anastomose the graft to the bladder wall. Postoperatively, a urethral catheter was left for one week. Bladders were evaluated by cystoscopy at 6 and 12 weeks and harvested at 12 weeks. Grafts remained in place in all groups except for the BPC group, where all grafts failed to incorporate. For the ATM and SIS groups, at 6 weeks, there was mucosal coverage of the grafts without evidence of encrustation. In the control group, at 12 weeks, the bladder capacity was 23% less than preoperatively. In the ATM, HPM and SIS groups, at 12 weeks, the bladder capacities were larger than preoperatively by 16%, 51% and 43% respectively; also the grafts had contracted to 70%, 65%, and 60% of their original sizes, respectively. Histologically, there was patchy epithelialization of ATM and SIS grafts with a mixture of squamoid and transitional cell epithelia. The graft persisted as a well-vascularized fibrous band in HPM, ATM, and SIS without evidence of significant inflammatory response. A laparoscopic technique for partial bladder wall replacement using a free graft is feasible. The biodegradable grafts of ATM, HPM and SIS are tolerated by host bladder and are associated with predominantly only mucosal regeneration at 12 weeks post-operatively.
