De Garengeot first described the presence of appendix within a femoral hernia in 1731.We report case 66-year-old Caucasian woman who presented with acute appendicitis an incarcerated hernia. This is reported de Garengeot's Balkan area.Appropriate management without incurring any delay for radiological imaging can be promising uneventful postoperative course. The treatment choice this disease entity emergency surgery and consists simultaneous appendectomy through incision primary repair. In...

Background: The aim of this study was to present the authors' experience with facial reanimation in adult patients following tumor extirpation and analyze functional outcomes. Methods: From 1978 2006, 60 underwent for paralysis extirpation. There one patient bilateral paralysis. Thus, evaluation carried out 61 hemifaces. Three independent assessors evaluated preoperative postoperative videos using Terzis grading scale eye closure, smile, depressor, overall aesthetic Preoperative...

Liquid-based cytology processing of breast fine-needle aspiration (FNA) specimens has been used in our institution since 1999. The aim this study was to investigate the role liquid-based (Thin-Prep(R)) evaluation FNA specimens.This carried out on 352 cases corresponding equal number women (134 malignant and 218 benign) examined from September 1999 June 2003. A direct vial planned. Aspirated material directly immersed cytolytR (Cytyc Corporation, Boxborough, MA). were transported laboratory...

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate retrospectively the patients who had undergone radial nerve reconstruction. Methods: medical charts 35 with lesions and 13 superficial underwent surgical exploration repair in authors' center were reviewed. outcomes analyzed relation various factors, such as age at injury, denervation time, level length graft, type Results: With regard nerve, good excellent motor results seen 27 cases (77.14 percent). Postoperative lateral pinch grip...

This article elucidates the anatomical details of course and territory supraorbital (SO) supratrochlear (ST) nerves. Possible applications SO ST nerves for sensory nerve transfer are also examined.The dissection 3 fresh cadaver heads (6 hemifaces) was performed. In each hemiface, were identified. The following data recorded: 1) number branches, 2) skin boundaries, 3) communicative 4) branch length. feasibility specific nerve-transfer procedures examined.In 4 hemifaces exited from notch in 2...

The current COVID-19 pandemic has vastly impacted the health care system in United States, and it is continuing to dictate its unprecedented influence on education systems, especially residency fellowship training programs. impact of these programs not been uniform across board, with plastic surgery among hardest hit specialties. Implementation social distancing regulations affected departmental educational activities, including preoperative, morbidity mortality conferences journal clubs;...

This study reviewed our experience with the gracilis myocutaneous (GMC) flap, potential risk factors for flap necrosis, and long-term morbidity at donor-site. From 1993 to 2002, 29 GMC flaps were harvested from 27 patients (pedicled n = 21 free 8). The overall incidence of necrosis was 13.79% (partial (n 2) total necrosis). Flap correlated body mass index >25 (P 0.022), smoking 0.04 9) radiation therapy recipient site 0.020). donor-site low, except scar appearance (17.24%), thigh contour...

The purpose of this case report is to present the reconstruction a full-thickness scalp defect in 2-year-old Hispanic male mauled by dog, which was performed novel technique. After debrided multiple times and treated with greater than 600 cm2 cryopreserved human skin allograft, Integra applied following debridement burring-out outer bony cortex promote bleeding integration, followed application VAC dressing. Four weeks later, mature grafted split-thickness grafts. One year after original...

The aim of this study was to present our experience with the use Keystone Perforator Island Flap (KPIF) in a case series patients small size (diameter ≤ 2 cm) nasal defects which will be useful prospectively assist plastic surgeons planning reconstructive strategy that work. KPIF utilized 30 post tumor extirpation. More than one type (type I or III) used following subunit principle modified version it. mean follow-up period 10.5 months. Overall good outcomes were achieved, no major...

Alloplastic materials are often used when significant defects exist. Benefits include no donor site morbidity, relative ease of use, limitless supply, and predictable durability. Depending on the type alloplast, limitations a persistent risk extrusion infection. Of particular interest in relation to cranioplasties is ability material provide neuroprotection. The integrity neuroprotective properties autologous bone flaps, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), high-density porous polyethylene (PP)...

The ala is a unique landmark of the nose disposing aesthetic and functional properties. head neck area main site appearance nonmelanoma skin cancer. One third them are located in with an alar preponderance compared other nasal subunits. Correction defects challenging reconstructive task. keystone perforator island flap (KPIF) was introduced as alternative reconstruction by senior authors. In present case series, KPIFs' application into subunit alternative, versatile, reproducible option,...

Keloids are a frequent finding after physical trauma. of the pinna (helix and antihelix) as complication ear-piercing most difficult cases. Clinicians have tended to avoid surgical approach, preferring local conservative treatment with corticosteroids or other treatments. We report use intrakeloid resection form-pressure device treat keloids recurrence. The purpose is maintain form folds pinna. recommendation for this therapy pressure at 24-30 mmHg, duration in our patients was about 25 weeks.
