Summary: Acellular fish skin grafts (FSGs) are tissue-based products created by minimally processing the skin of the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). The FSG is rich in omega-3 and facilitates tissue regeneration by supporting revascularization and ingrowth in the proliferation and remodeling phases of wound healing. FSG is structurally more similar to human skin than antiviral-processed skin substitutes such as amniotic membrane, and there are no known prion, bacterial, or viral diseases that can be transmitted from North-Atlantic cod to humans. The FSG is processed using a proprietary method that preserves the structure and lipid composition of the skin. FSG is CE marked, and US Food and Drug Administration cleared for multiple clinical applications in partial and full-thickness wounds. FSG is currently the only acellular dermal matrix product that does not originate from mammalian tissues. For this narrative review, Medline and UpToDate were used to include a total of 21 articles published from 2015 to 2022 about fish skin graft use. We also reported a case of a 7-year-old boy who underwent treatment with FSG for abdominal wall dehiscence at our department of pediatric surgery, IRCCS Sant’Orsola- Malpighi, Alma Mater Studiorum, University of Bologna, University Hospital of Bologna. FSG provides a valuable and sustainable treatment that improves wound healing in both adult and pediatric populations. We described the first application of an FSG for wound dehiscence of the abdominal wall in a pediatric patient, reporting how FSG was completely reabsorbed and improved the skin’s repair

Abstract

Summary: Acellular fish skin grafts (FSGs) are tissue-based products created by minimally processing the skin of the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). The FSG is rich in omega-3 and facilitates tissue regeneration by supporting revascularization and ingrowth in the proliferation and remodeling phases of wound healing. FSG is structurally more similar to human skin than antiviral-processed skin substitutes such as amniotic membrane, and there are no known prion, bacterial, or viral diseases that can be transmitted from North-Atlantic cod to humans. The FSG is processed using a proprietary method that preserves the structure and lipid composition of the skin. FSG is CE marked, and US Food and Drug Administration cleared for multiple clinical applications in partial and full-thickness wounds. FSG is currently the only acellular dermal matrix product that does not originate from mammalian tissues. For this narrative review, Medline and UpToDate were used to include a total of 21 articles published from 2015 to 2022 about fish skin graft use. We also reported a case of a 7-year-old boy who underwent treatment with FSG for abdominal wall dehiscence at our department of pediatric surgery, IRCCS Sant’Orsola- Malpighi, Alma Mater Studiorum, University of Bologna, University Hospital of Bologna. FSG provides a valuable and sustainable treatment that improves wound healing in both adult and pediatric populations. We described the first application of an FSG for wound dehiscence of the abdominal wall in a pediatric patient, reporting how FSG was completely reabsorbed and improved the skin’s repair
