title: Human acellular dermal matrix in the surgical management of rectal anastomotic stricture.
abstract: Anastomotic stricture after rectal resection is an intractable complication of rectal sugery. We present a case to introduce a new method to deal with rectal defect after dissecting anastomotic stricture by using biomaterial. The patient was diagnosed with rectal anastomotic stricture after radical resection for rectal carcinoma and was treated by reoperation. There was a defect in the posterior wall of the rectum after the anastomotic stenosis was dissected. We rapaired the defect successfully by using human acellular dermal matrix (HADM). The repair of rectal defect using HADM was easily and safely performed and provided long-term clinical success. It might be considered an innovative method for rectal defect repair.
