“…8 We have previously examined in an experimental model the tensile strength of fascia lata used for diaphragm reconstruction. 9 Based on the results of that experimental study, we thought that suture line strength of fascia lata should be adequate even when it is used for aortic reconstruction.…”

“…The relative acellularity and low nutritional requirements make it suitable for grafting. This fascia is used in reconstructive procedures such as repairing dog diaphragm 14 , in correction of congenital ptosis of eyebrow 15 , in curing Cruciate ligament injury 16 and as substitute for Mitral and Aortic valves 17 and in all the mentioned items had good results.…”

PURPOSE:To use fascia lata instead of pericardium and observe the presence of adhesions. METHODS:Twenty rabbits were divided into two group of ten. In group A, a 1×1 cm segment of pericardium was excised and resutured. In group B excised pericardium was substituted for autologous fascia lata. RESULTS:In the comparison of microscopic adhesion rate between two groups A, B after eight weeks, there was no significant statistical difference. CONCLUSION:Fascia lata is safe and it can be substituted for pericardium especially in repeat sternotomy in repairing congenital heart defects to avoid heart injury.

“…Because the fascia lata is one of the strongest fascial layers in the body and is easy to obtain, it has been used in a variety of operations [7]. However, only a few reports of the use of an autologous free fascia lata graft to repair diaphragmatic defects are noted in the literature [2,8].…”

“…The fascia lata mainly consists of fibrous components, and even if the constituent cells are lost in the excised specimen, its strength is unlikely to change [7]. An experimental animal study has demonstrated the reliability of reconstruction of the diaphragm by using autologous free fascia lata [7].…”
