Abstract EN
The presence of a contaminated surgical field in abdominal wall defects caused by trauma presents a challenge for surgeons.
Both primary suture and synthetic meshes are strongly discouraged as surgical treatments in such cases.
We describe the use of a porcine dermal collagen (Permacol) implant in an eight-year-old patient with multiple injuries.
Three months after discharge, the child remains well with good cosmetic results.
He is free of pain and has returned to full activity levels with complete wound closure and without any evidence of residual hernia.
In conclusion, our experience indicates that the use of Permacol can be considered an efficient technique for reconstructing an infected abdominal wall defect of a pediatric multitrauma patient.
