Sažetak
The authors report six cases of giant condyloma accuminatum and evaluate the use of mesh-skin grafts in covering the skin defect after radical local excision of perianal giant condyloma acuminatum. Medical records of six patients suffering from the giant condylomata acuminata and treated surgically at the Department of Surgery, Clinical Hospital Center Zagreb, were examined. Use of mesh-skin grafts in covering the skin defect after radical local excision of GCA was compared to other methods of treating the skin defect after radical excision of perianal lesions such as secondary wound healing. Four patients were treated by radical local excision and two patients were treated by abdominoperineal resection. There were partial graft failures (satisfactory result) in all patients and complete healing took about 3 to 4 weeks from time of grafting. A mesh-skin graft was used to cover the skin defect. There were no recurrences, wound infections, wound bleeding, hypertrophic scars, or mesh-like skin appearance of the recipient site. Therefore a good cosmetic and functional result was achieved. Use of mesh-grafts in covering the wounds after radical excision of anorectal giant condylomata acuminata compares favorably to healing by secondary intention in terms of wound healing time, and gives good functional and cosmetic results.
