Abstract Background  Porcine-derived acellular biologic grafts are increasingly used in abdominal wall reconstruction and other soft tissue repairs. In a previous work, we have shown porcine small intestine submucosa (PSIS) exhibits clear advantages over porcine pericardium (PPC) and porcine acellular dermal matrix (PADM) in repairing full-thickness abdominal wall defects. In the present study, we aim to determine, quantify, and compare the effects of two most commonly used decellularization protocols on biomechanical and biocompatible properties of PSIS. Materials and methods  After mechanical preparation, PSIS was treated with either alkaline and acid (AA) protocol or sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) protocol. Cellular content removal, preservation of matrix components, micro- and ultra- structures, and mechanical properties were compared. The host responses were evaluated using PSIS for repairing rat abdominal wall defects. Results and conclusion  With regard to the absence of cellular contents, neatly arranged collagen fiber structures, better retention of growth factors, better mechanical strength, lower degrees of local and systemic inflammatory responses, higher degree of vascularization and tissue ingrowth, alkaline and acid protocol exhibits clear advantages over SDS protocol for the preparation of PSIS extracellular matrix.

The management of large abdominal wall defects or incisional hernias continues to be a fundamental problem in the field of hernia surgery [1]. In most cases, the use of a prosthetic graft, whether synthetic or biological, is indicated to ensure a tension-free repair for a satisfactory reconstruction [2]. Although permanent synthetic grafts have sufficient mechanical strength to withstand intra-a
