Extravasation injuries are a common and challenging problem in hospitalized newborns. Accidental infusion leakage into the surrounding tissues immature infants may frequently result skin necrosis, with significant risk of functional cosmetic impairment.In present study we reviewed 34 cases severe extravasation occurring 1,409 neonates single neonatal unit over 24 months (incidence 2.4%). Total parenteral nutrition solutions were involved most cases. All patients treated within 30 minutes...
We used additive manufacturing to fabricate 3D-printed polycaprolactone scaffolds of different geometry topologies and porosities. present a comparative analysis hyaline cartilage development from adipose-tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) on three different, newly designed scaffold patterns. The first design (MESO) was based rectilinear layer pattern. For the second pattern (RO45), we employed 45° rotational loop. for third (3DHC) three-dimensional honeycomb-like with hexagonal...
The purpose of this study is to review our group elderly patients and examine whether microsurgical reconstruction safe perform in these cases. From October 2006 2009, 747 with head neck cancer who underwent free flap were divided into two groups: younger than 70 years (n = 714) older 33). groups compared regarding medical comorbidities, medical/surgical complications, smoke, alcohol consumption outcomes. Two deaths occurred the "elderly" (6% mortality rate) "young" (0.28% immediate...
The combined use of a deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap coupled with vascularized inguinal lymph nodes (VILN) for simultaneous breast and lymphedema reconstruction has already been well established, promising results have reported. However, standardized approach the planning shaping this is still lacking. We aim to propose comprehensive algorithmic delayed unilateral using predesigned abdominal associated lymph-node transfer. present in detail preoperative measurements surgical...
Abstract Background The use of autologous tissues is considered the mainstay for delayed breast reconstruction. Aside free abdominal flaps, which are most commonly used, fat-augmented latissimus-dorsi (FALD) flap has been recently shown a reliable alternative option pure In this retrospective study, we aim to compare outcomes reconstructions using extended FALD and deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap, with an emphasis on patients' characteristics, demographic data, complications,...
Background: Free abdominal flaps are the first option in autologous breast reconstruction using multidetector-row computed tomographic angiography for mapping perforators. The authors aim to evaluate impact of a preoperative design shaping new symmetrical contralateral breast, assisted by angiography. Methods: Thirty-two consecutive patients who underwent delayed unilateral with free were divided into two groups. In group A, was shaped intraoperatively and inset, whereas B, used. All before...
Abstract Background A new technique named “Selected Lymph Node” (“SeLyN”) was evaluated, aiming to identify the most functional groin lymph nodes (LNs) for an effective LN transplantation. Methods Bilateral lower‐limb SPECT‐CT performed in upper‐limb lymphedema patients, select radioactive inguinal LN. Recorded data included demographics, stage, etiology of lymphedema, flap consistency accordance preoperative findings, size, number LN, and harvesting time. Infection episodes per year volume...
This retrospective study aimed to assess the impact of certain flap characteristics on long-term outcomes following microsurgical treatment in Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema (BCRL) patients.Sixty-four out 65 BCRL patients, guided by "Selected Lymph Node" ("SeLyN") technique, underwent Vascularized Node Transfer (VLNT) between 2012 and 2018. According their surface size, flaps were divided into small (<25 cm2, n = 32) large (>25 32). Twelve six combined with free abdominally based breast...
Abstract Background We retrospectively evaluated all our cases of re‐excised cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (CSCCs) in the last 10 years to examine whether they change grade re‐excision histology reports. Methods The medical files 525 patients, which had surgical excision CSCC s Plastic Surgery Department Aristotle University Thessaloniki between January 2007 and December 2017 were evaluated. All primary recurrent tumours that incompletely excised included study. tumour's both initial...
Background This experimental study investigates the use of vascularized fascia as carrier for prelaminated cartilage and bone flaps. Methods A total 30 male New Zealand white rabbits were divided into two equal groups (A B). The surrounding inguinal fat superficial inferior epigastric vessels was dissected. In group A, wrapped around a template (20 × 40 mm) harvested from rabbit's ear. B, 15 35 mm piece rib cortical bone. After maturation period 4 weeks, subdivided three (A1, A2, A3). A1...
Because lipofilling is often associated with various reconstructive procedures, especially breast reconstructions, improving fat-graft retention remains a major concern for plastic surgeons. We conducted an experimental protocol in rat model simulating autologous reconstruction method using the fat-augmented latissimus dorsi myocutaneous (LDM) flap. This study aimed to compare survival rates of adipocytes when injected subcutaneously and intramuscularly evaluate role recipient host tissue,...
Sir Acneic skin has never been reported as contraindication for surgery. Approximately 290,000 patients underwent an augmentation mammoplasty in 2013, whereas the same year, number of implant removals breast was around 23,700, a 42% reduction since 2000.1 A patient’s response to implanted medical device cannot always be predicted. According Tebbetts,2 there are 3 major factors that influence outcome its new environment–—the device, surgery, and wound healing characteristics. Periprosthetic...
We report a 60-year-old patient who underwent bilateral mastectomy at different times, followed by immediate autologous reconstruction with flaps: deep-inferior epigastric-perforator flap on one breast, and fat-augmented latissimus dorsi the contralateral side. At 20-month follow-up, good symmetry was recorded; patient-reported outcome measurements revealed high satisfaction scores.
