Meshed dermal regeneration template for traumatic periocular tissue loss in the young population.

Abstract

The Integra^Ⓡ Dermal Regeneration Template (DRT) is a bioengineered dermal substitute that is becoming increasingly popular in the field of reconstruction. Its unique properties allow for immediate wound closure while providing a scaffold for tissue regeneration. Currently, it is commonly used to treat burns, ulcers, and complex wounds. In the setting of traumatic periocular tissue loss, only two prior reports have been published on its use for primary reconstruction. We present our institution's experience with a series of four young patients who received primary reconstruction with Integra^Ⓡ DRT as a full-thickness skin substitute for their large traumatic periorbital skin defects.
