ABSTRACT Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate ex vivo perfusion (EVP) for vascularized composite tissue preservation. We hypothesized that EVP could maintain allografts in near‐physiologic conditions ≥ 24 h. Methods Twenty superior epigastric artery perforator‐based abdominal flaps were procured from 10 Yorkshire pigs. Flaps preserved 12 h ( n = 5) or using with an oxygenated colloid solution containing HBOC‐201 oxygen carrier (HbO 2 Therapeutics, Souderton, PA). Contralateral...
Early detection and treatment can slow the progression of lymphedema. To diagnose lymphedema in subclinical phase, a sensitive imaging modality is required. Radioisotope-based lymphoscintigraphy (LSG) has been “gold standard” for century. Indocyanine green lymphography (ICGL) being used at our institute diagnosing grading all patients. In this study, ICGL disease rate was compared to that LSG. Chart review patients who presented consult between February 2020 April 2022 conducted. Patients...
Surgical videos are reshaping the landscape for surgical education. As this form of education has rapidly grown and become a valuable resource experienced surgeons, residents, students, there is great variability in presentation what offered. This study aimed to assess compare educational quality free flap instructional on public paid platforms.Free from (YouTube) (American Society Plastic Surgeons Education Network Reconstructive Surgery Journal) sources were screened independently by three...
Purpose: The existing diagnostic criteria for septic wrist are non-specific, subjecting patients with non-infectious etiologies to surgical morbidity. This study aimed create a AI prediction model and develop score-based risk assessment tool. Methods: An IRB-approved retrospective review was conducted on presumed diagnosis (2003 - 2022). Patients were excluded if neither arthrocentesis nor open drainage performed. Kruskal Wallis algorithm employed identify potential predictors of based...
PURPOSE: This study aimed to create a septic wrist AI prediction model and develop score-based risk assessment tool. METHODS: An IRB-approved retrospective review was conducted on patients with presumed diagnosis (2003-2022). Kruskal Wallis algorithm employed identify predictors of based comorbidities, penetrating trauma, fever, multi-joint involvement, inflammatory markers (ESR/CRP/WBC), serum uric acid, blood cultures, imaging, synovial fluid analysis. Subsequently, Naïve Bayes classifier...
PURPOSE: Cranial bones receive a dual blood supply from extracranial and intracranial source vessels. Although the vascularization of scalp soft tissues based on these vessels is well known, there little published data contribution osseous territories each artery. The terminal branches external carotid artery (ECA) all to cranial vault. aim this study was establish maxillary calvaria define its vascular territory. METHODS: left ECA isolated in 5 cadavers. All were ligated except for In but...
PURPOSE: Ex vivo normothermic perfusion (EVNP) extends the ischemia time for soft tissue flaps. We hypothesized that extended EVNP of flaps 24-hour was feasible and outcomes were equivalent to 12-hour preservation. METHODS: Eighteen superior epigastric artery procured from Yorkshire pigs. Flaps preserved by 12 (PFP12; n=5) 24 hours (PFP24; n=4). Contralateral at 4°C as static cold storage controls (SCS;(n=9). Outcome measures, including perfusate dynamics, flap temperature, gases,...
PURPOSE: Liposuction is a time-tested treatment for solid-predominant lymphedema. However, its technical execution, physiological effects, and impacts on the pathophysiology remain debated. In this study we report our 2-year experience of treating post-mastectomy arm lymphedema with tumescent liposuction simultaneous brachioplasty. METHODS: All patients who failed conservative management between February 2020 to April 2022 were included. was performed technique under tourniquet. Following...
PURPOSE: Trapeziectomy with partial trapezoid excision is a common surgical approach for scapho-trapezio-trapezoidal osteoarthritis (STTOA). This study seeks to determine the efficacy of trapezoidectomy treatment STTOA. METHODS: All patients within Cleveland Clinic Healthcare System who received trapeziectomy or without isolated STTOA between 2003 and 2022 were reviewed. Demographic information, pain scores, physical findings recorded. Second metacarpal subsidence was calculated as ratio...
PURPOSE: Ex vivo normothermic perfusion (EVNP) has proved effective in extending the commonly accepted preservation times following extremity amputation. This technology premise to extend ischemia time for all vascularized composite tissues. We have shown that EVNP could preserve fasciocutaneous flaps 12 hours physiologic conditions. hypothesized extended of 24-hour was feasible and outcomes were equivalent 12-hour preservation. METHODS: Eighteen superior epigastric artery perforator...
PURPOSE: Trapeziectomy with partial trapezoid excision is a common surgical approach for scapho-trapezio-trapezoidal osteoarthritis (STT OA). While some studies show similar outcomes between trapeziectomy trapezoidectomy, versus alone, others have reported symptomatic contact the remaining distal portion of and scaphoid after bringing into question long-term results excision. This study seeks to determine efficacy performing trapezoidectomy in treatment STT OA. METHODS: All patients within...
PURPOSE: Historically, supermicrosurgical lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) is regarded technically difficult/unachievable and therefore contraindicated in advanced lymphedema demonstrating "diffuse" pattern and/or absence of "linear" on indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography. More invasive vascularized lymph node transplants are preferred these cases. In this study, we describe our experience attempting LVA challenging METHODS: All patients with fluid-predominant who underwent between...
PURPOSE: Surgical videos have reshaped the landscape for surgical education; therefore, it has become imperative to understand quality and cost of knowledge we consume. This study aims assess compare free flap instructional on public paid platforms. METHODS: Free from (YouTube) (American Society Plastic Surgeons Education Network & Reconstructive Surgery) sources were screened independently by three reviewers. Sample size was calculated reach 80% power. The educational determined using a...
