Keloid is an abnormal fibrotic disease after cutaneous injury characterized by exaggerated scar tissue formation, which often extends beyond the boundaries of original wound. Although chronic inflammation known to be associated with excessive in keloid tissue, there are few studies on role autophagy pathogenesis keloid. In this study, we evaluated pattern fibroblasts (KF) and normal (NF). Expression HIF-1α, STAT3 autophagic flux markers were KF NF. Defective caused IL-17 was evaluated,...
To evaluate the efficacy of robot-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy for deep intramural myomas.We have conducted a retrospective study 170 patients who underwent by single operator tertiary university hospital.There were 100 cases myomas. The had 3.8±3.5 myomas on average, and mean size largest myoma each patient was 7.5±2.1 centimeters in diameter. Mean operative time 276.4±97.1 minutes, console 146.0±62.7 minutes. Thirty two surgeries other gynecologic conditions such as pelvic...
Abstract Background Use of coupling devices in microvascular anastomosis continues to increase, but it is not yet actively used end‐to‐side (ETS) because there no standard method. Therefore, we propose an easy and time‐saving ETS micro‐anastomosis method using head neck reconstruction compare with the conventional suture Materials Methods We retrospectively reviewed 30 consecutive cases (43 anastomoses) from 2018 2022. Patient characteristics, operative details, time were evaluated. When...
The purpose of reconstruction an orbital fracture is restoration normal structure and volume without visible or functional complications. In a previous study, implants were created using three-dimensional (3D) printing technology to restore fractures. the present authors compared efficacy conventional manual-bending implant 3D-printed standardized in order verify clinical utility fabricated 3D printed implant. this single-center, retrospective evaluated medical records 3D-CT scans patients...
Reconstructive treatments of heel defects usually involve regional flap techniques such as medial plantar procedures due to the limited availability adjacent soft tissues. Although free flaps have advantages in terms function and aesthetics, they remain challenging longer operation time required than for flaps. Thus, we introduce an appropriate 2-team surgical protocol reconstruct after wide excision malignant melanoma using coverage. From 2015 2020, a retrospective study was performed...
The anterolateral thigh (ALT) skin flap provides abundant, thin, pliable coverage with adequate pedicle length and calibre, tolerable donor site morbidity. However, of relatively large defects using the ALT alone is limited. We present our experience coupled vastus lateralis (VL) supplied by same for defect reconstruction. Between 2016 2020, ten patients extensive lower-extremity or trunk were treated ALT/VL chimeric flap. portion was used to cover cutaneous joint while VL part resurface...
Background: Ablative oncologic procedures for colorectal or gynecologic malignancies can result in large skin tissue volume defects. Although direct closure may be possible, such attempts lead to postoperative complications as wound breakdown, organ prolapse, chronic seroma, infection. Various procedures, from flap surgery local care, useful additions improve patient outcomes.Methods: This study retrospectively reviews cases of patients with multiple comorbidities who had undergone...
Background Capsulectomy is a crucial procedure in cosmetic breast surgery, and there demand for an efficient convenient tool to perform it. This study analyzed the postoperative outcomes of total capsulectomy by comparing ultrasonic system conventional electrosurgery.Methods retrospective cohort included patients who underwent implant removal from 2012 2020. The surgery group this using Harmonic scalpel, while electrosurgery same electrocautery. A statistical analysis two groups was...
Abstract Background It is important to include as many perforators possible in order enhance the vascularity of a deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap. However, rectus muscle must be transected transversely, which prevents suturing and can cause defect along same line muscle‐sparing procedure. When harvesting DIEP flap, no specific method was suggested solve these defects. We found that by transecting could sutured tendinous area more easily while maintaining function. The purpose...
Peroneal artery perforator offers a versatile range of microvascular tissue transfer methods from local flaps to vascularized osteocutaneous fibula flaps. It is one the few that can cover shallow defects require thin and pliable skin paddles, such as in hands feet (Han et al., 2018). The proximal region lower leg flexible flap compared middle distal (Winters & de Jongh, 1999). However, anatomy peroneal relatively unknown literature its proximity common nerve (CPN) has not yet been studied....
Abstract Temporal hollowing is most frequently an acquired deformity and can be caused by volume defects of bone, soft tissue, or both. Recently, surgical reconstruction with autogenous fat allografts has been introduced, but these materials resorbed over time may also lead to infection. Herein, the authors present 2 cases demonstrating treatment temporal a superior gluteal artery perforator (SGAP) free flap. Both patients had history traffic accidents subsequent craniectomy because subdural...
Maintaining the patency of external auditory canal (EAC) during reconstruction is important because its physiological role in hearing and immunological protective functions. The curved shape EAC presents a challenge when performing skin graft. One key points for successful graft to ensure compression on wound bed, many novel methods, including prefabricated ear molds, have been reported this purpose. In study, we present case performed reconstruct defect following excision actinic keratosis...
Background Keloids can occur anywhere in the human body. They are difficult to remove and cause distress patients. Although many options available treat keloids, no single method is considered optimal treatment of choice. The authors encountered cases where an umbilical keloid developed at trocar site after laparoscopic surgery managed using a transposition flap.Methods A total 10 patients treated from 2013 2020 were included this study. All due placement incision port, their major...
