Surgical repair of deep melting ulcers with porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) graft in dogs and cats

Abstract: Results of our study suggest the SIS graft may be an effective alternative surgical treatment to the traditional conjunctival grafts commonly used to repair melting ulcers in dogs and cats. The advantages of using a SIS graft include good corneal transparency, preservation of corneal integrity and maintenance of vision.

“…This material supports rapid host tissue ingrowth and fosters cellular differentiation, resulting in remodeled tissue that closely resembles the original host tissue [1,[10][11][12]. Similar results have been found for other SIS applications including vascular grafts [13,14], dural replacement, urinary bladder augmentation and urethral reconstruction [15], dermal wounds [16,17], soft tissue augmentation [18], and other uses [19][20][21][22][23][24]. This differentiation may, in part, be related to growth factors found in the SIS [2,25].…”

“…Likewise animal derived SIS has been clinically used as a biological material to fill substantial tissue defects [72]. The superior in vivo performance and integrative capacity of this native biological material has inspired many groups in their efforts to create tissue implants on the structural base of native organs.…”

“…Porcine SIS has been used as a graft material in cardiovascular, urological, orthopaedic, neurological, dermatological, reconstructive and ophthalmological applications (Sandusky and others 1992, Badylak and others 1998, Welch and others 2002, Vanore and others 2007, Sheahan and Gillian 2008). It has been used experimentally to reconstruct partial and full‐thickness abdominal body wall defects where it maintained adequate tensile strength and served as a temporary scaffold for host tissue ingrowth.…”
