概要 BACKGROUND:Distraction-induced intestinal growth may be a novel treatment for short bowel syndrome. Longitudinal, distractive tension created by the application of force creates a significant challenge: to produce adequate force, yet not cause perforation at the fixation points. This paper describes our development of a coupling strategy to allow for successful bowel lengthening.METHODS:A curvilinear hydraulic device was implanted in an isolated Roux limb of small bowel in young Yorkshire pigs. Bowel was lengthened over a 2-week period. Study groups included: Group 1: Twelve silk transmural anchoring sutures into an engineered-coupling ring at the ends of each device. Group 2: Addition of felt pledgets to the coupling rings on the serosal surface of the small bowel. Group 3: Extraluminal use of either thin AlloDerm(®), thick AlloDerm(®), or Strattice™ mesh to anchor the device.RESULTS:Group 1 (suture-only) resulted in a gradual pulling through the suture with increasing tension and no lengthening. Felt pledgets eroded in a similar fashion, causing abdominal sepsis. Thin AlloDerm(®) failed to prevent erosion; however, it protected against gross contamination. Animals in which either thick AlloDerm(®) or Strattice™ mesh was used survived complication free to the study endpoint. Both thick AlloDerm(®) and Strattice™ prevented erosion and perforation allowing for an average of 10.85 cm expansion.CONCLUSION:This study demonstrates the use of either thick AlloDerm(®) or Strattice™ reconstructive tissue matrix which allows for safe and effective coupling. Further, we suggest this approach could be an adjunct to esophageal lengthening procedures.
