Please, any advice on collagen mesh?
 Login/Join 
Posted
My daughter has a large ulcer, that bleeds at times, at the area where her stricture is. She has a stricture at the (top) inlet to her pouch and the stricture requires balloon dilation at times due to the narrowing that then causes a blockage. The ulcer in this area has been causing bleeding after the dilation and also in between dilations.

Her surgeon mentioned maybe trying to put a collagen mesh and fibrin glue on the ulcer to see if that would help.

Anyone ever heard of this or had any experience with the collagen mesh or fibrin glue?

Thank you.
