Background The aim of this report is to present our long‐term experiences with a series 5 face‐transplanted patients in terms surgical aspects and postoperative outcomes, describe possible salvage strategies case difficulties. Methods Five patients, 4 receiving full‐face transplantation 1 undergoing partial at institution were included. aged between 19 54 years. Two had extensive burn scars the face, 3 suffered gunshot injuries. post‐transplant induction immunosuppressive regimen included...
Objective: To describe surgical procedures, previous failed pregnancies, methods for overcoming pregnancy failure and, most importantly, birth of a healthy infant, in uterus transplantation from deceased donor. Background: Majority transplants have involved live donors, but several advantages make donor practicable option, principally by eliminating risks to the Methods: Uterus was performed September 2011 Turkey. After 5 miscarriages, perfusion computed tomography revealed an obstructed...
Face transplantation is a viable reconstructive approach for severe craniofacial defects. Despite the evolution witnessed in field, ethical aspects, clinical and psychosocial implications, public perception, economic sustainability remain subject of debate unanswered questions. Furthermore, poor data reporting sharing, absence standardized metrics outcome evaluation, lack consensus definitions success failure have hampered development "transplantation culture" on global scale. We completed...
The purpose of this study was to report the motor functional outcomes and sensory recovery patients who had undergone total or subtotal glossectomy for oral squamous cell carcinomas reconstructed with chimeric anterolateral thigh (ALT) flaps.Six patients, 4 men 2 women, a mean age 49.5 years (range, 36-73 years) were included in study. All treated ALT, including vastus lateralis muscle its nerve skin paddle innervating nerve. administered tests involving recovery, intelligibility,...
The ideal reconstructive method for the palatal defect should provide durable, stable coverage, and a natural contour, while simultaneously minimizing morbidity of both donor sites. Although small usual defects can be repaired easily using local adjacent tissues, successful closure large, complex is still challenging problem. Numerous free tissue options have to date been described large defects. radial forearm flap constitutes good option goals, sacrifice major artery hand skin graft with...
Although vaginal reconstructions with intestinal segments require particularly complex surgical procedures, this technique has become popular respect to fairly good functional and esthetic outcomes. This study describes cases of reconstruction performed using a modified rectosigmoid colon held in an ischemic state order reduce secretion denervated prevent defecation problems. Vaginal were on 43 patients. In retrospective study, 34 patients had Müllerian agenesis, while nine undergone male...
To evaluate association between scar characteristics and intraabdominal adhesions at repeat cesarean delivery.A prospective, cross-sectional study.Tertiary Government Maternity Training Hospital in Ankara, Turkey.295 pregnant women with least one prior delivery.All were 36 weeks pregnant. Appearance of previous delivery scars was categorized into three groups - flat, depressed elevated. Pigmentation status also noted (non-pigmented or pigmented).Intraoperatively detected adhesions, evaluated...
Nowadays, postoperative flap perfusion impairment still occurs in free surgery; despite several studies on microcirculatory physiology, the effect of hemodilution is extremely controversial. The aim this study was to investigate impact acute normovolemic and hypervolemic incidence survival rate a microsurgical rat model.Forty female Wistar rats were divided into four groups 10 each: group 1, superficial inferior epigastric artery elevated until femoral vessels isolated, sectioned,...
We assessed the recovery of 2 face transplantation patients with measures complexity during neuromuscular rehabilitation. Cognitive rehabilitation methods and functional electrical stimulation were used to improve facial emotional expressions full-face for 5 months. Rehabilitation analyses conducted at approximately 3 years after full in patient group. report analysis surface electromyography signals these two comparison results 10 healthy individuals. Facial data collected 6 basic 4 primary...
Soft tissue defects of the distal lower extremities are challenging. The purpose this paper is to present our experiences with free peroneal artery perforator flap for reconstruction soft extremity. Nine flaps were used reconstruct between April 2006 and October 2011. All leg foot reconstruction. Peroneal ranged in size from 2 cm × 4 6 12 cm. length vascular pedicle Recipient vessels were: medial plantar seven cases, dorsalis pedis vessel one, metatarsal one. survived completely, a success...
<h3>Objective:</h3> Using a single patient case study, we aimed to look at the interaction between full face transplantation and subsequent somatosensory representation in cortex. <h3>Methods:</h3> We present with who has recovered primary sensory modalities. The also facial sensations such as touch perception examinations of hands fingers. <h3>Results:</h3> fMRI findings show interactions cortical representations hand. <h3>Conclusion:</h3> This phenomenon is one well-known referred reveals...
The ideal reconstructive method for a vagina should provide durable, stable coverage, patent tube passage sexual intercourse, and natural esthetic contour, while simultaneously minimizing morbidity in both the recipient donor sites, be single stage procedure obviating use of stents, obturators, lubrication. Twenty-two patients with absence underwent vaginal reconstruction using jejunal segment transfer technique. Two flaps required re-operation due to venous compromise postoperatively. were...
The repair of extensive lower lip defects is difficult due to the presence both functional and esthetic requirements. This report describes using partial latissimus dorsi free flap without nerve coaptation.Reconstruction subtotal total tissue was performed on twelve patients, between 2013 2017. etiology squamous cell carcinoma in six malignant melanoma one, firearm injury three microstomia two. Following exposure defect, latissumus muscle harvested transfered into defect. microvascular...
