Preliminary Communication: Myringoplasty Performed with a Peritoneum Homograft

Transplantation of a Free Peritoneal Patch in Surgery of the Renal Pelvis and Ureter

“…envelopment of the kidney and ureter as a protection from obstruction due to recurrent scarring [23,26,27], Autotransplantation of peritoneum has proven suc cessful in plastic surgery to cover defects of numerous organ systems in both animal experiments and clinical studies: Free peritoneal grafts have been used in cardio vascular surgery [7,15,20], gastrointestinal surgery [3,8,17], and for meringoplasty [1], In urology, pediculated grafts have been used successfully for cystoplasty [10,13,25], as well as for closure of vesicovaginal fistulae [11]. Hutschenreiter et al [12] were the first to use free perito neal grafts in animal experiments to repair bladder wall defects, with good results.…”

Free Peritoneal Graft for Repair of Severe Seromuscular Defect of Bowel: From Experiment to Clinical Practice

“…It is interesting to note that FPG is frequently used by surgeons rather than gastrointestinal surgeons, and more often for organs than GI tract. It was used in the 1960s by Birch et al to repair subtotal perforation of the tympanic membrane [10]. There were also several reports of vascular repair and heart valve replacement [11,12], as well as renal, pelvic, ureteric, and urinary bladder repair [13][14][15].…”

Investigation of myringosclerosis development in different grafting materials after myringo-/tympanoplasty

“…[1] Besides these well-known options, lesser-known and more complicated materials such as dura mater, pericardium, amniotic membrane, cornea, peritoneum and aortic valve have also been tried. [2][3][4][5][6][7] Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages, which determine the surgeons' choice of graft for the procedure. Among these materials, tragal perichondrium (TP) and temporalis fascia (TF) have gained greater popularity because of their clear advantages.…”
