Penile Augmentation

Abstract

Allograft is an acellular dermal matrix (ADM), which is available in sheets. ADM is acquired from donated skin using proprietary processing techniques that are reported to preserve the biochemical and structural components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). This promotes tissue regeneration. Human ADM is extremely useful in burn care [1] and reconstructive surgery, such as breast reconstruction [2], abdominal hernia repair [3, 4], and cleft palate repair [5]. In addition, ADM graft can be combined with autologous thin split-thickness skin graft for safe and effective reconstructive procedures [6].
