Background: The anterolateral thigh perforator flap is increasingly being used for trauma and reconstructive surgical cases. With the thinned design, greater survivability a decrease in donor-site morbidity are observed. To increase our knowledge of vascular territories these flaps, an anatomic study was performed to determine pedicle number, location, diameter; accompanying veins; territory; where incisions can be made safely during thinning, as opposed "danger zone." Methods: Thirteen...

Surgical reconstruction of the penis is challenging because many cosmetic and functional (e.g., sexual intercourse voiding) requirements that must be addressed. Since free sensate osteocutaneous fibula flap was first described for total penile in 1993 it has been widely accepted, with its advantages minimal shortcomings. In this article, authors present longest follow-up biologically male patients fibular phalloplasties. 1994, 18 losses various reasons were treated flaps. All included study....

Wound repair in adult mammals typically ends with the formation of a scar, which prevents full restoration function healthy tissue, although most wounded skin heals. Rapid and functional recovery major wound injuries requires therapeutic approaches that can enhance healing process via overcoming mechanical biochemical problems. In this study, we showed self-assembled heparin-mimetic peptide nanofiber gel was an effective bioactive dressing for rapid full-thickness excisional wounds rat...

Oxidative stress secondary to ischemia can cause physiopathologic changes that adversely affect wound healing. In this experimental study, we hypothesized the topical use of esterified glutathione, a well-known antioxidant, minimize effects oxidative by an increase in intracellular glutathione and accelerate healing increasing contraction capacity fibroblasts preventing keratinocytes from apoptosis rat ischemic model. Experimental models were divided into 3 groups as treatment, control,...

Functional disorders due to alar valve collapse and cosmetic unsatisfactory results can be seen after rhinoplasty operation in some patients. Because of overresection the upper lower lateral cartilages, nasal walls may during inspiration pressing against septum obstructing airway. On other hand, result several deformities. Fourteen patients presenting with deformation functional insufficiency, were treated using thin sheet porous polyethylene (Medpor). Cottle sign was positive all...

Bu hafta üç film üzerine konuşacağız. İkisi bir ölçüde birbirine benzer filmler; birisi biraz daha farklı gibi görünüyor: Before Sunrise (Gün Doğmadan, Richard Linklater, 1995), Vesikalı Yarim (Lütfi Ömer Akad, 1968) ve The Brothers Karamazov (Karamazov Kardeşler, Brooks, 1958). filmleri mutluluk felsefesi penceresinden analiz etmeye çalışacağız. Bazı kavramları filmlerle ilişkilendireceğiz. Aynı zamanda bazı yeni şeyler de söyleyeceğim.

Linear scleroderma "en coup de saber" (LSCS) deformity is a subgroup of characterized by unilateral atrophy and depression above the level eyebrow. In rare cases where it involves whole face can be mistaken with Parry-Romberg syndrome. Involvement trunk extremities together facial lesions has been extremely in literature. We report an unusual case linear sabre" there concomitant involvement ipsilateral side lower extremity. The patient's reconstructed polyethylene implant.

The porous polyethylene implant (Medpor; Porex Surgical, Inc., Newnan, GA) is one of the most usable implants in clinical practice. Because it radiolucent on both direct radiography and conventional computed tomography, visualization becomes an important issue. In this study, availability multidetector spiral tomography for was evaluated. technique used 15 patients who had Medpor reconstructions their faces, including frontal (seven), malar (five), mandibular (five) regions. A 16-channel...

Achieving satisfactory results may be difficult in augmentation mammaplasty patients the presence of breast, chest wall, or vertebral deformities. These deformities have not been classified previously, and impact each deformity combination has defined. The aims this study are to determine complicating factors mammaplasty, classify these according their influence on surgical outcome, develop an identification system for simplifying recognition challenging cases. We retrospectively analyzed...

The crooked nose is one that the vertical axis of inclines from midline. As a rule, major septal deformity almost always accompanies to impairing breathing and aesthetic appearance. To achieve total straightening nose, septum must become target treatment. prevent redeviation, we used rigid bone grafts instead flexible relatively weak cartilage maintain support corrected deformity. Between February 2005 July 2007, 9 patients (all male) with noses underwent corrective surgery. mean age was 21...

Autogenous bone grafts are still the criterion standard treatment option in critical-size defect reconstructions, and many therapies can affect its incorporation. In this study, it was aimed to research effects of desferroxamine (DFO) application on graft healing due osteoblast osteoclast regulation stimulation angiogenesis.Rat zygomatic arch model (5 mm) used as experimental model. Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats (64 arches) were divided into 4 groups (16 arches each). 1 2, defects...

The studies of maxillofacial gunshot injuries mainly focused on evaluating the surgical interventions and physical outcomes procedures. In this study we aimed to analyze pre- post-injury psychiatric status patients with self-inflicted wounds face. This is based 12 subjects who attempted suicide resulting in extensive using guns placed beneath their chins. evaluation was conducted by interview SCID-I, SCID-II, MMPI, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale Suicide Probability Scale. Two were healthy, 1...

The case of a patient who injected 10 cc metallic mercury subcutaneously into his left forearm through multiple punctures in an attempt at suicide is presented. Diagnosis was made by plain radiography forearm, which exhibited redness, edema, and tenderness on the third day postinjection. Early excision all affected subcutaneous tissues including deposits performed fifth Blood urine levels that were initially found high decreased dramatically to normal ranges after remained unchanged...

Abstract Background and Objectives Many current parameters to ablate vascular beds using 1,064 nm lasers are based on high‐energy settings often fail consider vessel diameter and/or pulse width. This study attempts define the minimal effective dosage (MED) of energy width for specific diameters in an animal model. Study Design/Materials Methods Nd: YAG was used 15 Sprague–Dawley rats. Bilateral extended dorsolateral skin flaps were elevated from 0.1 1 mm identified. Pulse widths (PW) a range...

Microsurgical operations of the hand are common procedures reconstructive surgeons. Sympathetic blockade vessels provides increased blood flow to injured extremity, which increases success rate surgery. Moreover, postoperative pain management can be performed with continuous nerves. In this article, effect brachial plexus on patients who underwent upper extremity microsurgical operation was evaluated.A total 16 were operated either for replantation or toe-to-hand transfer. The first group (n...

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to compare the efficiency of same type but different-sized silicone drains at different surgical procedures. Material and Methods: Twenty-four patients, who had diagnoses were operated between 2011 2013, included. all 7- 10-mm silicone-ended, Jackson–Pratt used. Drains that under 30 cc/day removed. The connection tube perforated end examined due clot content. All drain efficiencies calculated, results statistically analyzed. Results: Seven 24 patients...

BACKGROUND: Desferroxamine (DFO) increases synthesis of VEGF by means increased levels “Hypoxia inducible factor-1” that triggers osteoblastic activity and stimulates differentiation.1-3 The aim this study is to evaluate the In Vivo effects DFO on bone graft healing osteogenesis in critical-size defects. METHODS: Rat zygomatic arch defect model (5 mm.) was used as experimental model. Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats (64 arches) were divided into four groups (16 arches each). Group 1, repair...
