Abstract
Introduction
We evaluated the usefulness of xeno-Biosheets, an in-body tissue architecture-induced bovine collagenous sheet, as repair materials for abdominal wall defects in a beagle model.
Materials and Methods
Biosheets were prepared by embedding cylindrical molds into subcutaneous pouches of three Holstein cows for 2–3 months and stored in 70% ethanol. The Biosheets were 0.5 mm thick, cut into 2 cm × 2 cm, and implanted to replace defects of the same size in the abdominal wall of nine beagles. The abdominal wall and Biosheets were harvested and subjected to histological evaluation at 1, 3, and 5 months after implantation (n = 3 each).
Results
The Biosheet and bovine pericardiac patch (control) were not stressed during the suture operation and did not split, and patches were easily implanted on defective wounds. After implantation, the patch did not fall off and was not perforated, and healing was observed nacroscopically in all cases. During the first month of implantation, accumulation of inflammatory cells was observed along with decomposition around the Biosheet. Decomposition was almost complete after 3 months, and the Biosheet was replaced by autologous collagenous connective tissue without rejection. After 5 months, the abdominal wall muscle elongated from the periphery of the newly formed collagen layer and the peritoneum was formed on the peritoneal cavity surface. Regeneration of almost all layers of the abdominal wall was observed. However, almost all pericardium patches were remained even at 5 months with inflammation.
Conclusion
Bovine Biosheets requiring no special post-treatment can be useful as off-the-shelf materials for abdominal wall repair.
