Reconstruction with artificial dermis of oncological surgical defects in the craniofacial district —Matriderm® versus Integra®: a non-randomized, unblinded single-operator case series
ConclusionsWe observed that Integra ® has a better integration on poorly vascularized surfaces, such as the skull bones; however, the thickness of the dermis obtained is lower than the one obtained with Matriderm®. The latter, when used with the two-step technique, allows complete restoration of the thickness gap obtaining a better cosmetic result.Level of Evidence: Level III, therapeutic study.
