“…To our knowledge, this is the first report in which BIO-A ® , an absorbable Tissue Reinforcement, is used for the treatment of RVF with a trans-vaginal placement. Very few cases of rectovaginal fistula repairs with Perma-col™ (Medtronic-Minneapolis, MN, USA) are reported in literature [7,8]. Permacol is a cross-linked biological mesh with high tensile strength, not absorbable and only partially incorporated, and with high up-front costs.…”

Trans-vaginal repair of recurrent rectovaginal fistula with interposition of BIO-A Tissue Reinforcement

Rectovaginal fistulas (RVFs) represent the majority of all symptomatic leakages after anterior and low anterior resection in women. Conservative management is useful in paucisymptomatic patients with small fistulas but is usually unsuccessful in all other cases. The surgical strategies are various and heavily dependent on the type and extent of anatomic involvement. We present a case of a 51-year-old female with a multi-recurrent rectovaginal fistula that occurred since a laparoscopic sigmoidectomy was performed for a complicated diverticular disease in May 2015. An attempt to close the fistula was undertaken three times. In July 2019, a transvaginal repair was performed with interposition in the rectovaginal septum of GORE ® BIO-A ® Tissue Reinforcement. The postoperative course was uneventful. There was no recurrence and functional outcome was good at 24-months follow-up. Rectovaginal fistula can be successfully treated using the interposition of a GORE ® BIO-A ® Tissue Reinforcement with significant economic savings and good functional outcomes even through a transvaginal approach. It represents a therapeutic option for an otherwise difficult-to-treat complex fistula.

“…However, the xenografts are usually cross-linked with chemicals which limit their application in wound healing. Permacol ® is one such xenograft which has since been abandoned, whereas some other xenografts have not shown any promising results [7,123,124,125,126,127,128,129,130,131,132,133,134]. …”

Over centuries, the field of regenerative skin tissue engineering has had several advancements to facilitate faster wound healing and thereby restoration of skin. Skin tissue regeneration is mainly based on the use of suitable scaffold matrices. There are several scaffold types, such as porous, fibrous, microsphere, hydrogel, composite and acellular, etc., with discrete advantages and disadvantages. These scaffolds are either made up of highly biocompatible natural biomaterials, such as collagen, chitosan, etc., or synthetic materials, such as polycaprolactone (PCL), and poly-ethylene-glycol (PEG), etc. Composite scaffolds, which are a combination of natural or synthetic biomaterials, are highly biocompatible with improved tensile strength for effective skin tissue regeneration. Appropriate knowledge of the properties, advantages and disadvantages of various biomaterials and scaffolds will accelerate the production of suitable scaffolds for skin tissue regeneration applications. At the same time, emphasis on some of the leading challenges in the field of skin tissue engineering, such as cell interaction with scaffolds, faster cellular proliferation/differentiation, and vascularization of engineered tissues, is inevitable. In this review, we discuss various types of scaffolding approaches and biomaterials used in the field of skin tissue engineering and more importantly their future prospects in skin tissue regeneration efforts.

Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) is a quite rare complication of gynecological surgery. The first attempt to repair the fistulous tract offers the best opportunity for cure. We report the successful repair of VVF in 2 patients using a combined anterior vaginal approach and porcine dermal collagen grafting as interposition tissue. Favorable results confirm technical simplicity, safety and efficacy of this procedure.
