Objectives: The inability to remove a ring from finger is common presentation Emergency Departments in addition Orthopaedic and Plastic Surgery Units. This often complicated by factors including trauma infection, leading superimposed tourniquet effect the ring, strangulating subcutaneous tissues. threat of neurovascular compromise favours early removal limit associated morbidity. article illustrates methods within literature. We offer assessing clinicians an illustrated summary techniques...
Seven models for tendon repair simulation (urinary catheter, liquorice, fishing lure, dental rolls, drinking straw, silicone sealant and the authors' modification of with Micropore™ tape) were assessed their performance in a number domains. The surgical tape model scored highest overall each individual domain. This was significantly higher than all other exception alone. lowest scoring straw model.
Background Effective skin graft fixation is vital in preventing sheering forces, seroma, and hematoma from compromising take. Yet, selecting the ideal technique for securing grafts remains a contentious subject, with significant variation practice existing between surgeons. There is, therefore, benefit to be derived assessing literature evidence-based recommendations guide decision-making process. Methods A search of Medline Embase was performed using appropriate key terms, yielding 419...
Abstract Adequate local anaesthetic, in harvesting a split thickness skin graft (SSG), involves multiple passes of needle across the length and width marked donor site. We describe technique using hyaluronidase to uniformly anaesthetise an SSG site with one injection, pass needle. Mix 10mls 1% Lidocaine solution Adrenaline 1:200,000 1 vial Hyaluronidase Unit/ml solution. The mixture is buffered ml NaHCO3 neutralise acidity minimise pain.Mark out siteUsing 27G long (sterican), enter...
Abstract Background: Forehead defects pose a reconstructive challenge and multiple revisions are often required to achieve satisfactory outcomes. Materials Methods: The case history of 20-year-old woman undergoing radical resection forehead arteriovenous malformation reconstruction with an anterolateral (ALT) free flap is described. Results: Although tissue transfer ALT was successful, its color texture mismatch were unacceptable the patient. esthetic result patient satisfaction improved by...
Homemade slime has become somewhat of an international fad with children over the past two years. The original ingredients include PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol) glue and Borax containing liquid detergent. There have been a number reports chemical burns as result contact ‘DIY’ compound, mainly attributed to Borax. We present our experience three injuries referred offer alternative aetiology clinical findings raise awareness injuries. Patient records were collated from online referral system,...
For biopsy proven skin cancers that are deemed to be high risk, a wide local excision (WLE) is recommended reduce the risk of recurrence. this reason, it pragmatic account for likelihood WLE at time initial biopsy. We illustrate staged approach lesions facilitate this, bearing in mind optimal reconstruction primary closure. In our experience as plastic surgeons, having perform locoregional flap or graft prevents opportunity anesthetic procedure. This increases postoperative complications,...
It is well reported that patients who have undergone breast augmentation and subsequently develop cancer can successfully undergo breast-conserving therapy with preservation of their implants. However, there a paucity literature on the radiological investigations surgical techniques in postmastectomy implant-reconstructed recurrences to enable implant-based reconstruction whilst effectively treating local recurrence. The wide adoption acellular dermal matrix use prosthetic recent years has...
Abstract Background Patients with systemic hypertension (HTN) of African ancestry (Afr-a) are at greater risk heart failure (HF), hospitalisation and death than those European (Eu-a). Compelling evidence suggests that left ventricular (LV) remodelling hypertrophy more prevalent in Afr-a Eu-a hypertensives due to either a high clustering cardiovascular risk-factors and/or difference genetic background. Prior studies subjects have shown uncomplicated HTN is associated right (RV) which may...
Abstract Introduction COVID-19 has had an unprecedented effect on surgical training, including prerequisite entry-level courses to speciality training. We describe the implementation of a virtual, one-to-one training programme aimed at acquisition and retention operative skills. Methods Enrolment commenced 8th May 2020 for wound closure techniques or extended tendon repairs, delivered by Specialist Registrars in Plastic Surgery using Zoom® (v. 5.0.5) via mobile device. Participant feedback...
Abstract Aim Diagnostic nailbed biopsy is indicated for pathology including malignancy, persistent and suspected mycomial infection rheumatological disease. Operatively, the challenge resides in establishing an equilibrium between harvesting ample histological sample diagnostic value without creation of a functionally aesthetically unacceptable nail due to significant disruption nailbed. We illustrate simple reproducible technique through one small forgiving defect surrounding soft tissue....
Abstract Aim Effective skin graft fixation is fundamental in preventing sheering forces, seroma and haematoma from compromising take. However, determining the ideal method of remains a contentious subject. Currently, there significant variation techniques used, based not only on clinical requirement, but also surgeon preference. Evidence-based recommendations are necessary to guide decision-making process. Method We undertook PRISMA-based assessment literature define all analyse their...
