With significant improvements in success rates for free flap reconstruction of the head and neck, attention has turned to donor site morbidity associated with osteocutaneous flaps. In this review, we address harvest four most commonly used flaps; fibula flap, scapula iliac crest radial forearm flap. A comprehensive literature search was performed identify articles relevant these We assessed terms incidence delayed healing, chronic pain, aesthetic outcomes, specific complications patient...
<b>Background</b> Over the last decade, simulation has become a principal training method in microsurgery. With an increasing move toward use of nonliving models, there is need to develop methods for assessment microvascular anastomosis skill acquisition substituting traditional patency rate. The authors present and validate novel tool formative summative skills competency assessment. <b>Methods</b> In this study, 29 trainees with varying levels experience microsurgery undertook 5-day...
Abstract Background Autologous platelet‐derived preparations have been used in many surgical fields to improve healing outcomes, with benefits reported several aesthetic indications. Aims This single‐center, prospective, uncontrolled study evaluated the efficacy of injectable platelet‐rich fibrin (i‐PRF) for facial skin rejuvenation using an objective analysis system and validated patient‐reported outcome measures. Patients/Methods PRF ® PROCESS technology was prepare i‐PRP. Eleven healthy...
With an increasing emphasis on microsurgery skill acquisition through simulated training, the need has been identified for standardised training programmes in microsurgery. We have reviewed courses available across six continents of World. Data was collected relevant published output from PubMed, MEDLINE (Ovid), and EMBASE (Ovid) searches, information Internet up to established course each Fellowships that concentrate flap harvesting rather than microsurgical techniques were excluded. 27...
The widespread use of microsurgery in numerous surgical fields has increased the need for basic microsurgical training outside operating room. traditional start been undertaking a 5-day course. In an era characterised by financial constraints academic and healthcare institutions as well increasing emphasis on patient safety, there shift to simulation environments. This paper reviews stepwise framework skill acquisition providing cost analysis courses order aid planning dissemination worldwide.
Background Simulation training is becoming an increasingly important component of skills acquisition in surgical specialties, including Plastic Surgery. Non-living simulation models have established place Surgical microsurgery training, and support the principles replacement, reduction refinement animal use. A more sophisticated version basic chicken thigh model has been developed to include dissection a type 1-muscle flap described validated here. Methods step-by-step guide on how perform...
<b>Background</b> The aim of this article is to evaluate the difference in skills acquisition two end-to-end microvascular anastomosis techniques—the triangulation and biangulation—in early microsurgery training. <b>Method</b> In study, 32 candidates ranging from medical students higher surgical trainees underwent a 5-day basic course. On days 3 5 course, performed anastomoses on cryopreserved rat aortas. One was using biangulation technique other technique. Candidates were randomized order...
Current educational interventions and training courses in microsurgery are often predicated on theories of skill acquisition development that follow a 'practice makes perfect' model. Given the changing landscape surgical advances related to development, research is needed assess current tools education devise alternative methods would enhance training. Simulation an increasingly important tool for educators because, whilst facilitating improved technical proficiency, it provides way reduce...
Purpose: Relief of gastric outlet and distal biliary obstruction may be accomplished by open surgery or minimally invasive techniques including endoscopic laparoscopic approaches. We examined the feasibility safety bypass in all patients with malignant benign disease requiring surgical relief obstructive symptoms. Materials Methods: Patients duodenal stricture inoperable malignancy underwent therapeutic surgery. Prophylactic was added selected nonmetastatic malignancy. Results: Twenty-eight...
Objective : The purpose of this study was to analyze the optical characteristics two different nasendoscopes used assess velopharyngeal insufficiency and quantify measurement uncertainties that will occur in a typical set clinical data. Design magnification barrel distortion associated with nasendoscopy estimated by using computer software apparent dimensions spatially calibrated test object at varying object-lens distances. In addition, method semiquantitative analysis closure is described....
