Effectiveness and versatility of biological prosthesis in transplanted patients

Figure 1 Computed tomography scan at 6 mo after abdominal wall repair. Arrow: Biological prosthesis.

Figure 2 In order to prevent the onset of compartment syndrome, a temporary wound closure with Bogota Bag was performed. A: Implantation of Permacol™ mesh; B: Skin closure after Permacol™ mesh implantation; C: Computed tomography scan at 3 mo after abdominal wall repair (arrow: Biological prosthesis).

Figure 3 The abdominal exploration showed a neoplasm of left lobe liver graft with infiltration of the diaphragm which extended to the pleura and pericardium. A: Left liver lobectomy of the graft with resection of the diaphragm “en bloc” with adjacent portion of right pleura and pericardium; B: Computed tomography scan at 6 mo after abdominal wall repair (arrow: Biological prosthesis).
