There are a variety of methods used for the postoperative management donor site created after harvesting split-thickness skin graft. The authors compare three major groups dressings—open, semiopen, and closed—performed on 60 patients divided into groups. These different dressings were compared based healing time, quality regenerated skin, patient comfort. Biopsy specimens obtained from sites each group assessment stage. An ideal dressing method is one that affords protection dehydration...

Background: The maxillary artery can be injured during procedures in the subcondylar portion of mandible. Thorough knowledge this region is mandatory to avoid accidental puncture artery, which lead profuse bleeding that hard control. Methods: In 16 halves eight embalmed cadaver heads, was dissected from branching point entrance sinus. Its anatomical relationships with certain landmarks were recorded numerically. Results: mean distance tragal pointer 16.2 mm (range, 14.97 16.80 mm) horizontal...

Joint Diseases and Related Surgery (JDRS), the official journal of Turkish Foundation, is an international, peer-reviewed, immediate open access journal. All published articles in JDRS has been free for everyone, without embargo, since 1990.

We designed a dorsal adipofascial pedicled flap to cover amputations of the tip same digit. This includes all tissues from dermis paratenon extensor tendons. After elevation skin, are raised as and turned over resurface exposed bone or joint then covered with split thickness skin graft. Ten digital between distal phalanx proximal nail matrix mid portion middle were successfully resurfaced turn-over flaps. All flaps survived completely mean follow-up was 11 months. one-step procedure would...

Many reports on the plantar arteries and deep arch exist, but none of them focus arterial pedicles muscles. They mainly discuss arch, its variations, location. This study plans to determine location origin all muscles as a preliminary for designing new flaps. The was carried out 20 feet from 10 cadavers aged 35 67 years. After an injection latex via popliteal arteries, dissection under microscope. Abductor hallucis flexor brevis receive their main blood supply medial artery; abductor digiti...

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the common malignancy at skin arising from cells of basal layer epithelium or external root sheath hair follicle. It usually occurs sites with greatest concentration pilosebaceous follicles, and it directly related to sun exposure. Metastasis rare, but recurs if inadequately treated. For preventive recurrence, BCC often excised wide margins. leads sacrifice healthy tissue causes morbidity problems. In our study, we make a treatment plan excising primary its...

The bilateral V-Y flap concept for fingertip reconstruction was first desribed by Kutler. This method has limitations, such as size and advancement, therefore larger modifications are described to increase the advancement capacity of flaps. We a small direct-flow homodigital island method, called 'super Kutler flap', recontruction finger pulp defects. In addition, neurorrhaphy performed between cut ends digital nerves prevent neuroma formation. used in 10 fingers patients who had undergone...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects remote ischemic conditioning on ischemia-reperfusion injury in rat muscle flaps histopathologically and biochemically.Thirty albino rats were divided into 5 groups. No procedure performed group 1, only blood samples taken. A gracilis flap elevated all other Microclamps applied vascular pedicle for 4 hours order achieve tissue ischemia. In 2, no additional performed. groups 3, 4, 5, right hind limb used 3 cycles minutes each (total, 30...

BACKGROUND: This single-center, retrospective study aims to analyze the sociodemographic, injury characteristics, and total number of lost working days patients undergoing hand flexor tendon repair identify factors predicting reoperation. METHODS:Hand repairs conducted using a four-strand modified Kessler core suture with early rehabilitation from January 2013 December 2016 were included in this study.The variables evaluated patient sociodemographic days, reoperations because rupture and/or...

Basal cell carcinoma is a malignant epithelial neoplasm of skin that usually arises in areas chronic sun exposure. It rarely originates from smallpox vaccination scars, chickenpox previous surgical or burn scars. We present case basal arising on leishmania scar the nasal dorsum 30 years after primary lesion.

Human bite wounds are more prone to infection than animal bites, which may cause necrotizing soft tissue infections such as myositis, fasciitis. Both aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms be responsible, including Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Peptostreptococcus spp. Necrotizing fasciitis is characterized by serious destruction systemic toxicity with high morbidity mortality. We report a patient mitis associated on the upper extremity resulting from an accidental human bite,...

Brown tumor is an important sign of a number metabolic bone diseases. Normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism, rare childhood pathologic finding, reveals itself with brown tumors as the only initial sign. In this study, two cases normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism accompanied by mandibular are presented.

Phenol preparations are used in dermatology and plastic surgery for the treatment of acne during chemical face peeling. At this institution, phenol peeling is addition to mechanical dermabrasion elimination subclinical premalignant lesions patients having xeroderma pigmentosum. As peel performed, most surgeons concentrate on skin results, ignoring systemic complications. Local histological changes toxicity have been seen applications. Cardiac arrhythmias even sudden death reported. The high...

Head and neck tumors can reach to massive dimensions if patients are uneducated ignorant about the disease. Resection of such giant creates a significant functional aesthetic loss due proximity vital structures in head region. Reconstruction these complex defects is demanding procedure postoperative results not always excellent terms function aesthetics. We have reviewed group with treated our department. Postoperative were evaluated appearance. good most acceptable. Early diagnosis excision...

The scalp and forehead are the anatomical regions where non-melanoma malignant skin tumors commonly seen due to direct sun exposure. After surgery for located in forehead, many complex defects can develop, ranging from sole deep which bone dura mater opened.This study examined 43 patients who presented Department of Plastic Surgery Ankara Numune Training Research Hospital were diagnosed with between 2006 2013. number operations, operation techniques applied, type complications (if any) free...
