Summary: Aphallia is an exceedingly rare congenital malformation. The condition the result of a sporadic anatomic anomaly during fetal development in 46, XY male patient with otherwise normal functioning testes and sexual hormone metabolism. Neophallus reconstruction using De Castro phalloplasty technique currently most accepted treatment modality for this condition. However, case reports literature do not use tissue expansion. To achieve larger neophallus possibly decrease need secondary...
Background The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is considered the gold standard for autologous breast reconstruction. Less commonly used abdominal flaps include superficial artery (SIEA) and circumflex iliac (SCIA) which are based on vasculature of wall. We sought to compare complication rates between DIEP system their associated risk factors. Methods A retrospective chart review 400 cancer patients undergoing abdominally-based free reconstruction with either a or from January...
The Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Ghana serves a population of over 5.4 million people. number operating rooms creates bottleneck to accessing surgical care. In previously published paper, the plastic surgery department at KATH sought utilize wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) technique perform hand as solution improving capacity. This technique, popularized by Donald H. Lalonde, was first utilized February 2017 KATH. We aim provide an update on utilization this...
Gating of sensory evoked potentials (SEPs) around the onset a voluntary movement is physiological phenomenon with centripetal and central components, may reflect sensorimotor integration required for normal control.Our objective was investigation SEP suppression at interaction between vibration limb.Fourteen patients primary focal/segmental dystonia 17 age-matched healthy volunteers were studied. SEPs elicited after electrical stimulation median nerve wrist. Electroencephalograms (EEGs)...
Background The negative impact of opioid use in the U.S. has led providers to seek alternative methods for pain control. More specifically, preoperative usage been demonstrated adversely affect patients and clinical outcomes. This study aims assess extent relationship between on postoperative outcomes across surgical disciplines using statewide population databases.
Management of mandibular fractures often involves the use maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) to attain immobility fractured segments. This can be used as a primary treatment modality or an adjunct in fracture management. technique, however, has its drawbacks due great burden care imposed on patients. In following case, pediatric open body was attained without MMF, and bone union achieved. Due age, safety concerns, long-distance travel, parent's preference, routine management this type with MMF...
Background: The whistle deformity, a deficiency of tissue in the central upper lip, is consequential outcome primary cleft lip repair. Among multiple described reconstructive options, wide-hinged island swing transposition labial enhancement (WHISTLE) flap procedure by Grewal et al has been shown to be reliable technique that restores continuity orbicularis oris muscle and creates more natural appearing tubercle element. This article aims refine WHISTLE with addition tailored mucomuscular...
Frontosphenoidal craniosynostosis (FSC) is a rare premature fusion of the frontosphenoidal suture that results in anterior plagiocephaly. When associated with severe cranial deformity, surgical treatment beneficial. All previously reported cases FSC correction have utilized fronto-orbital remodeling and advancement to achieve improved anatomy increased intracranial volume. For patients isolated synostosis deformities, we believe distraction osteogenesis can be viable option, additional...
Abstract Physician assistants (PAs) play a vital role in the US health care system, particularly amid persistent surgeon shortage and escalating demands. We aim to characterize current cohort of PAs plastic surgery by comparing them all other specialties. Using cross-sectional analysis 2022 National Commission on Certification dataset, we examined demographic practice characteristics with those Analysis included descriptive bivariate statistics. In 2022, 1.0% worked surgery, specialty's...
Constriction ring syndrome is a rare congenital condition characterized by the formation of fibrous amniotic bands, which can result in limb or digit deformation, malformation, autoamputation. Surgical intervention necessary for patients with progressive severe forms constriction banding, but timing and operative approach vary widely. Here, authors present case report detailing successful removal multiple bands (CBs), uniquely affecting distal ankle foot an infant meeting Patterson type-2...
Summary: Ectopia cordis is a rare congenital condition resulting in extrathoracic positioning of the heart. The severity presentation may vary with partial or complete displacement through sternal diaphragmatic defects. Operative management typically required, but due to rarity condition, no standard exists for optimal closure. Reconstruction techniques can include compound local flap placement including pectoralis major, rectus abdominis, latissimus dorsi flaps as well synthetic material...
