A Comparative Study of Autologous and Acellular Dermal Matrix Static Cheek Slings in Corrective Surgery for Facial Palsy

Conclusions Fascia lata and Strattice slings provide satisfactory results in restoring symmetry at rest and functional oral competence. Our results suggest that Strattice is a safe sling material with an acceptable risk profile and comparable medium-term maintenance of tensile strength to fascia lata, and should be considered where life expectancy, donor site morbidity, and procedure length are important considerations.
