摘要
Concern over the transmission of communicable diseases through donor tissue has recently increased. Nine hundred and fifty-nine pieces of banked homologous irradiated fascia lata have been distributed to ophthalmic plastic surgeons nationwide over the past 3 years since the establishment of the Wills Eye Hospital Fascia Lata Bank. Safeguards taken against the transmission of disease include strict donor selection; negative antibody testing for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), rapid plasma reagin (RPR), and hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg); heat treatment; and radiation sterilization with 4 million rads of cobalt-60 gamma radiation. To date, no cases have been reported of the transmission of HIV through surgical implantation of banked irradiated homologous fascia lata.
