Surgical intervention with combined myectomy and neurectomy followed by functioning free muscle transplantation has been proposed to effectively resolve the problem of postparalytic facial synkinesis since 1985, it continues be authors' standard care. The authors aim provide evidence that this surgical strategy is effective for treatment smile quality.One hundred three patients were investigated (1985 2020). They all underwent extensive removal synkinetic muscles triggered nerve branches in...

Background The vascularized fibula free flap is a workhorse in pediatric mandibular reconstruction. This study aimed to address functional outcomes, complications, and morbidity associated with the resection consecutive series of reconstruction using this technique skeletally immature patients. Methods Functional outcomes terms maximal mouth opening capacity, patient-reported eating ability, occlusion, gait were retrospectively reviewed 34 patients (18 males, 16 females) who underwent flap....

Long nerve grafts are prone to chronic denervation, often resulting in unsatisfactory clinical outcomes. The authors aim investigate whether supercharge end-to-side (SETS) motor transfers a long graft can potentially enhance regeneration and functional outcomes.A reversed was interposed between the C6 musculocutaneous 48 rats. nerves near proximally distally were chosen for SETS transfer graft. There four groups: (A) only, (B) proximal transfer, (C) distal (D) double transfers. A grooming...

The latissimus dorsi free flap is a widely used reconstructive technique for complex lower leg defects in the pediatric population due to its reliability and anatomical features. However, impact of this on postoperative quality life children adolescents, who require appropriate extremity function during their developmental period, remains be analyzed.

The main drawback of fat transfer breast augmentation is the need for multiple sessions injection. For approximately 15 years, stem cells and Brava device expansion have been discussed extensively investigated to address relevant challenges. However, safety effectiveness autologous as a single-session primary technique has not yet standardized.The aim this study was achieve mega volume in single session by developing "space-creating" approach that emphasizes use highly purified an optimized...

Loss of elbow flexion is a common sequela acute brachial plexus injuries (BPIs). The Mackinnon/Oberlin-II double fascicular transfer (DFT) widely used method to restore this function in C5-6 or C5-7 injuries. This study attempted evaluate if technique can be applied reliably for cases involving C8 and/or T1 Adult patients with BPIs who underwent the DFT our center between 2008 and 2018 were retrospectively identified. Group I (n = 37) included only injury, while group II 32) presented C5-8 ±...

Reconstruction of extensive palatal defects in growing patients aims to restore speech intelligibility and swallowing function while avoiding excessive scarring formation that may cause growth disturbances the palate midface region. Free flaps transfer healthy, well-vascularized tissue defect area, their combination with pharyngeal allow for restoration velopharyngeal function. We examined after microsurgical reconstruction a series six pediatric patients.Radial forearm free were used all...

The bipedicled Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP) flap, originally described and primarily utilized in autologous breast reconstruction for specific cases, has expanded its applications to encompass diverse anatomical regions recent years. This report presents the case of a 69-year-old woman with recurrent giant thyroid tumor who underwent surgical resection, resulting large cervico-thoracic defect effectively reconstructed using DIEP flap. patient's postoperative recovery was...

Abstract Background Long nerve grafts will affect muscle recovery. Aim of this study is to investigate if supercharged end-to-side (SETS) sensory transfer long graft can enhance functional outcomes in brachial plexus animal model. Methods A reversed (20–23-mm) was interposed between C6 and musculocutaneous (MCN) 48 SD rats. The nerves adjacent the proximal distal coaptation sites were used for SETS. There four groups with 12 rats each: (A) alone, (B) SETS transfer, (C) (D) combined...

Free vascularized ulnar nerve flaps (VUNF) are effective method for long defects reconstruction. However, the monitorization of its microvascular circulation and regrowth can be challenging since it is usually designed as a buried flap. We skin paddle based on septocutaneous perforator from artery that dissected raised in conjunction with flap, which aims to improve postoperative optimizing clinical results.
