This randomized, double-blind study was designed to assess the effect of perioperative remifentanil with controlled hypotension on intraoperative bleeding, postoperative edema, and ecchymosis.Fifty-two patients undergoing rhinoplasty were divided into 2 groups. The group received 1 µg · kg(-1) intravenously as a bolus before induction anesthesia, 0.5 h(-1) by continuous intravenous infusion during operation. After anesthesia propofol (2-3 mg kg(-1)) fentanyl (1-15 kg(-1)), muscle relaxation...

Although fat grafting is frequently used in plastic surgery practice, debate about the viability of graft still persists owing to its questionable long-term success. The ultimate aim obtain viability. Vascularization essential for this purpose. effects 2 different local anesthetic preparations during harvesting grafts on survival were compared with angiogenesis and volumetric measurements. Twenty-four male Wistar rats divided into 3 groups. inguinal region was selected as donor site. first...

Mad honey or rhododendron containing grayanotoxins possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This study was planned to evaluate the effects of topical application mad on wound healing in diabetic rats. Dorsal skin wounds were created under anesthesia male Wistar albino rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus randomly divided into three groups (each n = 28). Group I received 0.09% saline solution, II terramycin, III honey. Wound tissues collected after decapitation...

The objective of this study was to investigate the healing effect five different products on split-thickness skin graft (STSG) donor sites and full-thickness cutaneous wounds (FTCWs) using an occlusive dressing model. Six groups were included: 1 control 5 experimental groups, with a total 24 rats, STSG FTCWs established in two separate areas, right left animals' backs. Wound dressed one following materials: fine mesh gauze, microporous polysaccharide hemosphere (MPH), clinoptilolite,...

Surgical delay is any surgical intervention performed 7-14 days before flap elevation, separating part of from its vascular bed and aiming to decrease necrosis. However, surgery needs be planned as a separate operation. Quercetin flavonoid with anti-inflammatory, vasodilator effects. This study compares the effects quercetin on survival.

Osteoma is the most common benign tumor of facial bony structure. Intraorbital extension extremely rare. We report a case intraorbital, pedicled osteoma originating from left orbital roof. The patient's ophtalmological examination revealed; only light perception due to severe amblyopia and posterior capsular opacification in right eye, complete visual acuity left. His eye was proptotic directed downward lateral gaze position. Using upper blepharoplasty incision, completely excised. There...

The zone of stasis that forms in acute burn is initially viable, but coagulation progresses to necrosis the process follows.This study investigates effects platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on apoptosis and viability living tissue.Burns were established right ears 20 female New Zealand rabbits using "comb burn" model. Platelet-rich was obtained from blood collected rabbits' (n = 10) injected subcutaneously into 10). same amount saline solution control group Histological immunohistochemical analysis...

Because of minimal donor region morbidity, pliability, the presence long and large caliber vessels, lack visible scar, free anterolateral thigh flap provides an ideal option for restoration full-thickness nasal defects.Full-thickness defect reconstruction requires internal lining external cover. In defects, replacement with traditional sources may not be expedient. We describe defects flap.From August 2005 to July 2007, six patients underwent using flap. All resulted from tumor resections....

<b>Background:</b> Soft tissue augmentation with autologous fat graft has been increasingly used by plastic surgeons despite unpredictable results. Several techniques have described to prevent the main setback of this technique, resorption. However, there is no ideal technique for purpose.<br><b> Materials and Methods:</b> Twenty patients subcutaneous loss, atrophy or hypoplasia were treated lipofilling. A pouch dissected at deformed area later it filled graft. Results: Graft maintenance...

We conducted a retrospective analysis of 28 patients-15 men and 13 women, aged 17 to 71 years (mean: 41.6)-who had undergone surgery for the treatment benign tumor hard or soft palate. The most common chief complaint was palatal mass, which reported by 14 patients (50.0%). Tumors were more in palate than margin 23 5 (82.1 17.9%; p = 0.001). histopathologic diagnosis pleomorphic adenoma, occurred 9 cases (32.1%). Most treated with local excision clear margins, sufficient almost all cases, as...

Background: Breast reduction surgery is a common cosmetic with high incidence of blood loss and transfusion. In this surgery, the related to surgical manipulation volume resected tissue target. present study, we compared effects esmolol-induced controlled hypotension on visibility, bleeding, duration in patients anesthetized propofol/remifentanil (PR) or sevoflurane/remifentanil (SR). Methods: Patients American Society Anesthesiologists I/II risk group undergoing breast were prospectively...

Total scalp avulsion is a rare but severe injury frequently ending in hair loss, and one that can even be life-threatening. It occurs women men with long as result of injuries by industrial or agricultural equipment animal attacks. The first option treatment replantation hairy skin microsurgery.The authors report 2 consecutive patients total presenting to our clinic. Similar mechanisms avulsions were present both patients. However, the noteworthy aspect this different outcomes terms...

The study showed that surgery in the maxillary sinus can affect its development.To quantitatively evaluate long-term impact of on development rabbit.This was an experimental performed at academic tertiary medical center using 20 4-week-old New Zealand white rabbits. rabbits underwent unilateral right surgery. contralateral used as a control did not undergo operation. ostium enlarged operated side. Volumetric analysis 1 year post-surgery. volumes both sides were calculated Multidedector CT...

Monitoring flap viability in the postoperative period is important for prediction of partial or total failure. Many alternative methods such as laser Doppler flowmetry, photoplethysmography, infrared spectroscopy, fluorescein injection, evaluation color, turgor, temperature and capillary reflow have been used this purpose. Although these are valuable determination condition, they not sufficient prognostic markers flaps. In study, we investigated relationship between serum ischemia-modified...

Median cleft lip (MCL), failure of the fusion medial nasal prominences in midline resulting vertical through center upper lip, can be repaired by various columellar reconstruction approaches depending on nature patient. The main drawback these surgical techniques is use healthy neighboring structures that may compromise process. In this report, authors present a new approach for repairing MCL which involves simultaneous without damaging any units. Briefly, columella was reconstructed with 2...
