Guest guest Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Hi All, I want to get some opinions about banked fascia lata. Has anyone here used banked fascia?? Oh and in case for those that do not know what banked fascia is: it's the fascia lata tissue that comes from cadavers rather than using the child's own fascia lata from the thigh. One of the benefit I see in using the banked facia is that there is one less scar on the child. I'm opposed to synthetic materials due to rejection and/or infection that I hear. Fascia lata was used in mine and my sisters' surgeries and so far, it's been holding up the lids great! The only thing is that we all have scars on our legs...so much for that modeling career! :-) I'm considering to use banked fascia, but kind of creepd out about the whole thing. And yes, I do realize that donated organs are used to save lifes so what harm can a little tissue from a cadaver do? So any thoughts, opinions or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
