Three pigs (sus scrofa domestica) had the same defects in the ear cartilage (4 \u00d7 4 cm) and in the rectus abdominis muscle (6 \u00d7 10 cm) with BC membranes implanted into them. The time of observation of the condition of the animals was 3 months. Implantation sites did not show clinical signs of complications in the form of inflammation or necrosis. Histologically, a normal scar was produced as a result of the material healing into the host\u2019s body. In one case, no residual implant material was found at the site of implantation, and the remodeled scar confirmed healing. No systemic inflammatory reaction was observed in any of the animals. The host organism\u2019s reaction to the bacterial cellulose allows us to believe that it meets the expectations as a material that can be widely used in reconstructive surgery. Nevertheless, this requires further research on a larger group and also using other foreign bodies. The next step would be an experiment on a group consisting of people.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jfb14080397","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,27]],"date-time":"2023-07-27T02:07:17Z","timestamp":1690423637000},"page":"397","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Potential of Bacterial Cellulose in Reconstructive Surgery of Body Integumentary System: Preliminary Studies in Animals"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1163-6018","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agata","family":"B\u0142a\u017cy\u0144ska-Spychalska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Surgery, Medical University of Gda\u0144sk, 80-210 Gda\u0144sk, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Martyna","family":"Kur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Surgery, Medical University of Gda\u0144sk, 80-210 Gda\u0144sk, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomasz","family":"Brzeski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Independent Researcher, 81-303 Gdynia, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wac\u0142aw","family":"Zaj\u0105c","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Independent Researcher, 75-671 Koszalin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Teresa","family":"Pankiewicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Molecular and Industrial Biotechnology, University of Technology of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, 90-924 \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stanis\u0142aw","family":"Bielecki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Molecular and Industrial Biotechnology, University of Technology of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, 90-924 \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8645-1045","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaros\u0142aw","family":"Woli\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Kielanowski Institute of Animal Physiology and Nutrition, Polish Academy of Sciences, 05-110 Jab\u0142onna, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jerzy","family":"Jankau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Surgery, Medical University of Gda\u0144sk, 80-210 Gda\u0144sk, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"627","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cps.2017.02.019","article-title":"Skin Substitutes and Bioscaffolds: Temporary and Permanent Coverage","volume":"44","author":"Haddad","year":"2017","journal-title":"Clin.
