Cosmetic surgery tourism characterizes a phenomenon of people traveling abroad for aesthetic treatment. Problems arise when patients return with complications or need follow-up care.To investigate the cosmetic treated at our hospital as well to analyze arising costs health system.Between 2010 and 2014, we retrospectively included all presenting from abroad. We reviewed medical records patients' characteristics including performed operations, complications, Associated cost expenditure...
A significant proportion of patients admitted to hospital with multiple traumas exhibit facial injuries. The aim this study is evaluate the incidence and cause injuries in severely injured examine role plastic maxillofacial surgeons treatment patient collective. total 67 patients, who were assigned our trauma room between January 2009 December 2010, enrolled present evaluated. majority male (82 %) a mean age 44 years. predominant mechanism injury was fall from lower levels (<5 m) occurred 25...
Objective: The burn victim's inherent state of hyperinflammation frequently camouflages septic events delaying the initiation targeted intensive care therapy. Accurate biomarkers are urgently needed to support sepsis detection before patients’ clinical deterioration. Summary Background Data: Evidence on usefulness pancreatic stone protein (PSP) as a powerful diagnostic and prognostic marker in critically ill patients has recently accumulated. Methods: Analysis biomarker kinetics (PSP,...
This study investigated revision surgery for the thumb after failed trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition defined a concept. Twenty-four patients 25 affected thumbs were examined at mean of 5.5 years their last operation. Pain during daily activities was 2.7 on 0-10 numeric rating scale, pain rest 1.6 brief Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire score 63. Although 68% indicated that better than before primary surgery, outcome less favourable reported...
Introduction Vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) is successfully used for reconstruction of major defects the upper extremity and face. Both rejection graft vasculopathy (GV) seriously endanger long-term outcomes, eventually leading to failure. GV remains widely unexplored in VCA, so does role adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) acute rejection. Methods ASCs were isolated from donors, characterized their immunomodulatory capacity investigated. Systemic (SASC) versus local...
Background: Current clinical regimen in vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) includes life-long immunosuppression (IS) treatment that temporarily reverses the inevitable occurrence of graft rejection and dysfunction. A hallmark is vasculopathy (GV), characterized by vascular inflammation intimal hyperplasia. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) carry both immunomodulatory endothelium protective properties. This study aims at attenuating GV with use adipose derived- MSC (AD-MSC) to...
