We report the outcomes of European prospective study on prepectoral breast reconstruction using preshaped acellular dermal matrix for complete implant coverage. Seventy-nine patients were enrolled between April 2014 and August 2015 all over Europe a single protocol patient selection surgical procedure, according to Association Breast Surgery British Plastic Reconstructive Aesthetic Surgeons joint guidelines use in surgery. The completely wraps implant, which is placed above pectoralis major,...
The superficial fascia has only recently been recognized as a specific anatomical structure. Furthermore, whereas it is actually that the innervation of deep/muscular plays key role in proprioception and nociception, there are very few studies have analyzed these characteristics fascia. In this work, our group two different districts (abdomen thigh), from volunteer patients, undergoing surgery procedures. Each sample was processed for histological analysis by Hematoxylin&Eosin,...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the morphology superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS). Eight embalmed cadavers were analyzed: one side face macroscopically dissected; on other side, full-thickness samples parotid, zygomatic, nasolabial fold and buccal regions taken. In all specimens, a laminar connective tissue layer (SMAS) bounding two different fibroadipose layers identified. presented vertically oriented fibrous septa, connecting dermis with aspect SMAS. deep layer,...
Background: In reconstructive microsurgery, the aesthetic outcome has gained increasing importance, and new applications of flaps have been explored, focusing on improved donor site concealment. This paper presents our experience with gaining popularity in specifically SCIP/SIEA PAP flaps. Methods: Since August 2022, offered for soft tissue reconstruction across all body regions. These were added to other traditionally free flaps, such as RFF, mSAP, ALT, DIEP, LD. Where defect could be...
Abstract Surgical reconstruction of peripheral nerves injuries with wide substance-loss is still a challenge. Many studies focused on the development artificial nerve conduits made synthetic or biological materials but ideal device has not yet been identified. Here, we manufactured conduit for regeneration using novel biodegradable hydrogel patented that oxidized polyvinyl alcohol (OxPVA). Thus, its characteristics were compared neat (PVA) and silk-fibroin (SF) conduits, through in vitro...
In severe peripheral nerve injuries, conduits (NCs) are good alternatives to autografts/allografts; however, the results available devices guarantee for still not fully satisfactory. Herein, differently bioactivated NCs based on new polymer oxidized polyvinyl alcohol (OxPVA) compared in a rat model of sciatic neurotmesis (gap: 5 mm; end point: 6 weeks). Thirty Sprague Dawley rats randomized groups: Reverse Autograft (RA); Reaxon®; OxPVA; OxPVA + EAK (self-assembling peptide, mechanical...
Recently, the superficial fascia has been recognized as a specific anatomical structure between two adipose layers-the tissue (SAT) and deep (DAT). The evaluation of characteristics cells, fibers, blood circulation, innervation shown that clear distinct identity, but knowledge about lymphatic vessels in relation to not described. aim this study was evaluate presence hypodermis, with focus on layered subdivision subcutaneous into SAT DAT. Tissue specimens were harvested from three adult...
Abstract During modified radical mastectomy or cosmetic surgery, denervation of the lower part pectoralis major frequently occurs and may reduce muscle spasm, with consequent better reconstruction breast. The aim this study was to determine relationship between pectoral nerves muscles. Eight unembalmed female cadavers were dissected vascular radiologic studies performed. lateral showed a constant course, parallel thoraco‐acromial vessels. They coursed for 55 ± 7 mm inferomedially on deep...
The gracilis muscle is used widely in reconstructive surgery, as a pedicled or free microsurgical flap, for soft tissue coverage functioning transfer. Many studies, based on cadaver dissections, have focused the vascular anatomy of and provided different data about number, origin, caliber its pedicles. Computed tomographic (CT) angiography both thighs 40 patients (35 males 5 females, mean age: 63 years) been analyzed to provide detailed anatomical description arterial supply muscle. had...
Abstract Current undergraduate medical curricula provides relatively little time for cadaver dissection. The Department of Human Anatomy and Physiology at the University Padova has organized a pilot project with Hospital donation body parts that are surgically removed therapeutic purposes destined under Italian law destruction. aim is to improve residents' practical training skills. A survey over last two years shown about 60 were available each year. These included 13 upper limbs or their...
A hand amputation is a highly disabling event, having severe physical and psychological repercussions on person's life. Despite extensive efforts devoted to restoring the missing functionality via dexterous myoelectric prostheses, natural robust control usable in everyday life still challenging. Novel techniques have been proposed overcome current limitations, among them fusion of surface electromyography with other sources contextual information. We present dataset investigate inclusion eye...
The aim of this study was to examine data demonstrating that Scarpa's fascia, a superficial fascia the anterior abdominal wall, is vascularized tissue. Specimens seven volunteers undergoing abdominoplasty surgical procedures at Plastic Surgery Unit University Padova Medical Center were collected. Fractal analysis and quantitative assessment vascular network carried out, exploiting presence blood in vessels. Each sample divided processed for histological/immunohistochemical (into 5...
Advancements in neural network approaches have enhanced the effectiveness of surface Electromyography (sEMG)-based hand gesture recognition when measuring muscle activity. However, current deep learning architectures struggle to achieve good generalization and robustness, often demanding significant computational resources. The goal this paper was develop a robust model that can quickly adapt new users using Transfer Learning. We propose Multi-Scale Convolutional Neural Network (MSCNN),...
Summary Entrapment of the ulnar nerve at elbow is second most common compression neuropathy in upper limb. The present study evaluates anatomy cubital tunnel. Eighteen limbs were analysed unembalmed cadavers using ultrasound examination all cases, dissection nine and microscopic cases. In thickening fascia level tunnel was found dissection. From point view, a multifascicular trunk (mean area 6.0 ± 1.5 mm 2 ). roof showed presence superimposed layers, corresponding to fascial, tendineous...
Abstract The palmaris longus (PL) is a muscle of the forearm with long distal tendon that continuous palmar aponeurosis (PA). It generally assumed lies deep to antebrachial fascia from origin termination, but detailed description lacking. relationship PL was studied in 30 dissections. completely absent six specimens (20%), whereas PA identified all. Average length 25.5 cm (SD: 2.1 cm, range 22–29 cm), overall 26.9 2.6 22.5–31.5 muscular belly 13.8 3.4 9.5–23 13.1 3.3 8–15.5 cm). Proximally,...
Poor wound-healing and skin necrosis are potentially devastating complications after total knee arthroplasty. Primary soft-tissue coverage with a medial or lateral gastrocnemius transposition flap is typically the first choice for reconstruction. The aim of this study was to evaluate use distally based secondary-pedicle gracilis muscle reconstruction defect.The characteristics (secondary) pedicles were studied dissection (ten cadavers) computed tomographic angiograms (fifty patients).
