Background: The ideal goals in penile reconstruction are well described, but the multitude of flaps used for phalloplasty only demonstrates that none these techniques is considered ideal. Still, radial forearm flap most frequently and universally as standard technique. Methods: In this article, authors describe largest series to date 287 phalloplasties performed by same surgical team. Many different outcome parameters have been described separately previously published articles, main purpose...
Due to its increasing popularity, more and articles on the use of perforator flaps have been reported in literature during past few years. Because area is new rapidly evolving, there are no definitions standard rules terminology nomenclature, which creates confusion when surgeons try communicate compare surgical techniques. This article attempts represent opinion a group pioneers field flap surgery. consensus was reached after meeting held Fifth International Course Perforator Flaps Gent,...
A series of 240 deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps and 271 free transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) from two institutions was reviewed to determine the incidence diffuse venous insufficiency that threatened flap survival required a microvascular anastomosis drain superficial vein. This problem occurred in five DIEP did not occur any TRAM flaps. In each these cases, presence vein larger than usual noted. It is therefore suggested if an unusually large noted when...
There is a strong trend at hand toward less dramatic facial rejuvenation surgery. Most of the authors' patients want cosmetic improvement but not cost prolonged disfigurement or high risk complications. In 1999, very simple effective rhytidectomy technique, termed an S-lift, was described in literature and adopted by authors. Its basic principle suspension sagging features strong, permanent purse-string suture. The procedure performed with patient under local anesthesia. Significant...
Background: In female-to-male transsexuals, the first surgical procedure in their reassignment surgery consists of subcutaneous mastectomy. The goals mastectomy are removal breast tissue, excess skin, reduction and proper positioning nipple areola, ideally, minimization chest-wall scars. authors present largest series to date transsexuals who have undergone Methods: A total 184 mastectomies were performed 92 using following five techniques: semicircular, transareolar, concentric circular,...
Background: The lateral intercostal artery perforator flaps are based on perforators that arise from the costal groove. Cadaver dissections have been performed to improve understanding of anatomy. clinical applications this study demonstrated. Methods: were dissected in 24 fresh cadavers and evaluated a field extended between third eighth spaces latissimus dorsi pectoralis major muscles. Their relationship with anterior border muscle serratus vessels was investigated. Results: A mean value...
Background: The thoracodorsal artery perforator flap is considered a technically difficult because of significant anatomical variations in location. authors' strategy to facilitate the harvest these flaps includes careful preoperative mapping perforators and standardized planning harvesting technique. authors evaluated 99 pedicled flaps, with an emphasis on planning, surgical technique, analysis complications. Methods: Between May 2000 October 2006, patients underwent department. Their...
A variety of suboptimal results arise in breast augmentation due to failure the overlying soft tissue adequately cover implant. The authors describe a new concept composite surgery that combines core volume projection implants with natural look and feel fat.A total 197 patients were treated over 3-year period. This approach was used when thin or insufficient underlying prosthesis, both implant revision primary augmentation. In subset cases, quantitative three-dimensional imaging evaluated...
Abstract Spheroids are three-dimensional cellular models with widespread basic and translational application across academia industry. However, methodological transparency guidelines for spheroid research have not yet been established. The MISpheroID Consortium developed a crowdsourcing knowledgebase that assembles the experimental parameters of 3,058 published spheroid-related experiments. Interrogation this identified heterogeneity in setup spheroids. Empirical evaluation interlaboratory...
