Gore-Tex® is a widely used durable patch for repair of congenital diaphragmatic defects yet may result in complications. We compared Gore-Tex with a composite of a radial pore-orientated collagen scaffold (RP-Composite) and clinically used porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS; Surgisis®) in a rabbit model for diaphragmatic hernia. The growing rabbit mimics the rapid rib cage growth and reherniation rates seen in children. We created and immediately repaired left hemidiaphragmatic defects in 6-week-old rabbits with Gore-Tex, SIS, and an RP-Composite scaffold. An additional group of rabbits had a sham operation. At 90 days, survivors more than doubled in weight. We observed few reherniations or eventrations in Gore-Tex (17%) and RP-Composite (22%) implanted animals. However, SIS failed in all rabbits. Maximum transdiaphragmatic pressure was lower in Gore-Tex (71%) than RP-Composite implanted animals (112%) or sham (134%). Gore-Tex repairs were less compliant than RP-Composite, which behaved as sham diaphragm (p < 0.01). RP-Composite induced less foreign body giant cell reaction than Gore-Tex (p < 0.05) with more collagen deposition (p < 0.001), although there was a tendency for the scaffold to calcify. Unlike Gore-Tex, the compliance of diaphragms reconstructed with RP-Composite scaffolds were comparable with native diaphragm, whereas reherniation rates and transdiaphragmatic pressure measurements were similar.
