The aim of this study is to measure and compare the dynamic thiol/disulphide homeostasis patients with basal cell carcinoma healthy subjects a newly developed original method.Thirty four attending our outpatient clinic clinically histopathologically diagnosed as nodular carcinoma, age gender matched 30 individuals have been involved in study. Thiol/disulphide tests measured novel automatic spectrophotometric method results compared statistically.Serum native thiol disulphide levels patient...

The aim of the study is to analyze all completely excised BCCs in head and neck region with regard age, sex, personal familial history, skin type, tumor localization size, histopathological subtype tumor, reconstruction method, recurrence rates. Incompletely were not included this since incomplete excision most important preventable risk factor for recurrence. In 320 patients, 331 lesions retrospectively evaluated by dividing into following 8 subunits: scalp, frontotemporal, orbital, nose,...

The reconstruction of intraoral defects can be challenging due to the different characteristics region, importance preserving anatomy and function, shortage available donor areas. location size defect guides reconstructive surgeon through treatment plan. Among options available, tongue flaps have been found useful in reconstruction. In this study, we presented use kinds defects, compared advantages disadvantages with other methods. Between 2004 2011, were used 11 patients (6 male 5 female) a...

To assist nascent microsurgeons in the initial practices of handling instruments and tying knots before using an animal model, authors discuss surgical gauze, which will be benefit to all trainees. In this microsurgeon can familiarize himself or herself with operating microscope, correct microinstruments, technique knot tying. Surgical gauze is readily available room, there no need seek out experimental laboratories, obtain poultry placenta proceeding models.

Background: The infraorbital region is an important subunit for facial aesthetics. Improper closure of skin defects involving this may lead to deformity in the lower lid and ectropion. This report presents authors' experience with 15 patients who had reconstructed bilobed flap from zygomatic lateral cheek regions. Methods: Most operations were performed under local anesthesia. Pathologic diagnoses included basal cell carcinoma, squamous melanoma, hemangioma. Although we cannot deny that...

Clinical attempts are made to avoid rotating a flap and twisting the pedicle for fear of perfusion compromise. Torsion an island rat groin is not well-recognized experimental entity. The authors describe results rotation with in model. Forty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups 10 animals each. In each group, bilateral flaps elevated; one was sutured place without contralateral subjected 180, 270, 360, or 720 degrees rotation. Blood flow within assessed by laser Doppler...

The reconstruction of ischial pressure ulcers is problematic because the distinctive anatomical properties region and high recurrence rates. To date, no single technique has been proven to be effective in reducing ulcers. We present our experience with combination a biceps femoris muscle turnover flap posterior thigh fasciocutaneous hatchet discuss long-term results.A retrospective clinical analysis 15 patients grade 4 reconstructed flaps laterally based was carried out between January 2010...

The tensor fascia lata flap is one of the appropriate choices for coverage trochanteric pressure sores. authors designed a new, hatched-shaped musculocutaneous with distal Z-plasty closure and applied it to four defects in 4 patients. Satisfactory results were obtained all hatchet-shaped very safe, reliable, practical. Designing hatchet shape allows use proximal well-vascularized portion sore area. Another important advantage possibility reuse resulting from recurrence. Prevention "dog-ear"...

In this paper, we report a case of 14-year-old girl with congenital aplasia the flexor pollicis longus tendon who had no other associated anomalies thumb hypoplasia and trauma history. Flexor are rare; several types anomaly have been reported in literature. The diagnosis should be considered if patient is unable to flex interphalangeal joint thumb. A hypoplastic or an absent crease may diagnostic feature such cases. Besides physical examination, also used direct radiography magnetic...

Flaps with venous occlusion have a decreased survival rate compared arterial occlusion. It seems that several factors are involved in the etiology of total occlusion, including free radicals, edema, thrombosis, and reperfusion injury. In present study, authors evaluated blockage polymorphonuclear leukocyte endothelial adhesion by using monoclonal antibody to intercellular molecule 1 (ICAM-1) ligand prevent ischemia-reperfusion injury rat epigastric island flaps. A skin flap (3 × 4 cm)...

Ingrown nail is a common problem seen in the dermatology clinics. The aim of this study to compare wedge resection method and chemical matricectomy with NaOH terms operation time, postoperative pain severity, drainage, recurrence rates, recovery effects these two methods on Dermatology Quality Life Index. This included 60 patients. About 42 edges 30 patients were treated for was performed 33 Operation time an average 7.66 ± 3.65 19.25 5.54 min (p < .001). Recovery 17.27 14.22 days 28.85...

Reconstruction of soft-tissue defects the calcaneal region and heel is very demanding necessitates, as a rule, sensate thin flap. The ideal characteristics layer flap should be combined with reliable blood supply minimal morbidity at donor site. authors report an updated review their experience use island modifications lateral artery skin flap-the flap, V-Y advancement bilobed-shaped flap-for reconstruction small medium-sized tissue over exposed tendons bones 18 patients. All procedures were...

Objective: Reconstruction of lateral malleolar region defects with exposed implants is a problematic situation for the reconstructive surgeon because there are limited options. The objective our study was to revise management these and point out role proximally based peroneus brevis muscle flap. Method: Patients an implant tissue were evaluated retrospectively. All reconstructed flap included in this study. Results: Of 17 patients identified mean age 37.1 years (range 16–58 years). size...

Many flaps have been used to repair complex soft tissue defects of the leg. When affected areas are relatively small and local not suitable, microsurgical operation seems be an excessive treatment thus perforator can used. The authors present combination ipsilateral contralateral for coverage traumatic lower extremity.

Hatchet rotation-advancement flap is a well-known design, which worthwhile option in the reconstruction of lateral nasal region skin defects. In this study, author's experience with 3 different designs hatchet flaps, for defects parts region, has been presented. All flaps 31 clinical cases were planned from cheek and nasolabial region. For upper 1/3 part, advancement type, middle lower rotation type. Satisfactory results achieved all patients except having part. defects, advantages such as...

Three-dimensional defects have been reconstructed with carved and remodeled frameworks wrapped within vascular carriers wide use in ear nose reconstruction. The main problem thick coverings is masking of the fine details frameworks. Other problems are insufficient blood supply, infection, exposure implant. If sufficient penetration can be established without any change size shape implant, it will possible to cover a thin skin graft improve aesthetic results. In this study we planned...
