description Introduction: The use of bovine pericardium started in 1972 in cardiovascular surgeries. From the evolution of tissue engineering with care in the preparation of the material, minimizing the risk of rejection and facilitating the use for various types of surgeries, the bovine pericardium has become an important tool in reconstructive surgical procedures. Purpose: In this series, the present study proposes to evaluate the current scenario of the use of bovine pericardium in surgical procedures of different specialties, and the postoperative results found. Methods: Thus, a systematic literature review was carried out and the database consulted was MEDLINE, using the keywords “bovine pericardium”, listing studies published in the last five years in English and Portuguese and that did not use another type of patch. Results: 14 articles were selected, totaling 507 patients, who underwent surgery in several areas, such as cardiology, neurology, vascular, pediatrics, urology, and ophthalmology. Conclusion: It appears that the use of bovine pericardium as a surgical patch is safe, given that there are few cases of host rejection, in addition to being easy and quick to handle, with benefits compared to mechanical prostheses. It is relevant, therefore, to expand the number of studies on the subject, aiming at the great potential that this type of material has for regenerative medicine.
