We investigated whether the nonsentinel lymph node (NSLN) status in patients with melanoma improves prognostic accuracy of common staging features; then we formulated a proposal for including NSLN current system.We retrospectively collected clinicopathologic data 1,538 positive SLN who underwent completion dissection (CLND) at nine Italian centers. Multivariable Cox regression survival analysis was used to identify independent factors. Literature meta-analysis summarize available evidence on...
Although the number of excised lymph nodes (LNs) represents a quality assurance measure in lymphadenectomy for many solid tumors, minimum LNs to be dissected has not been established melanoma.To investigate distribution large patient series (N = 2526) identify values that may serve as benchmarks monitoring patients with melanoma.A retrospective multicenter study was conducted (1992-2010) tertiary referral centers treatment cutaneous melanoma. Medical records on 2526 who underwent regional LN...
Clinical applications of ALT flap have currently extended to extremity (hand and foot) as well oral cavity reconstruction. In these anatomical areas, the traditional harvesting technique presents a few disadvantages such bulkiness recipient site potential donor morbidity including damage deep fascia skin graft adhesions. The purpose present study was compare functional aesthetic outcomes upper lower reconstruction with either suprafascial or subfascial harvested anterolateral (ALT) flaps....
Recent literature has focused on the association of psoriasis with lower than normal or highly deficient vitamin D blood levels. To investigate controversial between and From 2012 to 2014, 561 subjects were assessed, which 170 had psoriasis, 51 an autoimmune bullous, 340 healthy patients. Anagraphical data, 25(OH)D levels, seasons levels assessments recorded for each group. Vitamin significantly different among 3 groups (K = 151.284; P .0001). Psoriatic patients serum (21.8 ng/mL) controls...
Background: Rhinocerebral mucormycosis is a rare, rapidly progressive and potentially lethal disease almost exclusively affecting immunocompromised hosts or patients with metabolic disorders, such as poorly controlled diabetes mellitus. Keywords: Zygomycetes, Mucorales, rhinocerebral mucormycosis, patients, sinusitis, surgical debridement.
Abstract Background Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a rare and severe mucocutaneous fragility disorder due to mutations in the COL7A1 gene encoding collagen VII, major constituent of anchoring fibrils essential for epithelial adhesion. RDEB characterized by unremitting blistering, chronic painful wounds fibrotic scarring that results hand foot pseudosyndactyly, microstomia, esophageal strictures. complications include nutritional compromise, anemia, failure thrive,...
Introduction . Given its efficacy and safety, NexoBrid™ (NXB) has become part of our therapeutic options in burns treatment with satisfactory results. However, no cost analysis comparing NXB to the standard care (SOC) been carried out as today. Aim To assess compare it SOC cost. Methods 20 patients 14–22% TBSA an intermediate-deep thermal burn related injury were retrospectively consecutively included. 10 these treated SOC, while other NXB. The was performed accordance weighted average...
Previous studies have reported an association between sun exposure and the increased survival of patients with cutaneous melanoma (CM). The present study analyzed ultraviolet (UV) light various prognostic factors in Italian Clinical National Melanoma Registry. sociodemographic features were collected, as well information concerning sunbed holidays exposure. Analyses performed to investigate UV factors. Between December 2010 2013, was obtained on 2,738 from 38 geographically representative...
Nexobrid®, a bromelain-based type of enzymatic debridement, has become more prevalent in recent years. We present the recommendations on debridement (Nexobrid®)'s role based practice knowledge expert Italian users. The recommendations, endorsed by SIUST (Italian Society Burn Surgery), using to remove eschars for burn treatment were defined. definition followed process evaluate level agreement (a measure consensus) among selected experts, representing centers, concerning defined clinical...
Extensive skin defect represents a real problem and major challenge in plastic reconstructive surgery. On one hand, grafts offer practical method to deal with defects despite their unsuitability for several complicated wounds. the other negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), applied before grafting, promotes granulation tissue growth. The aim of study is evaluate improvement healing given by merger these two different approaches. We treated 23 patients large wounds multiple factors. Of...
Background The anterolateral thigh flap is a workforce in reconstructive surgery, however, variations it vascular anatomy are not uncommon. These may affect design and survival, especially when large flaps required. In some anatomical variants the supplied by two separate dominant pedicles, these cases bi‐pedicle modification be necessary to ensure complete viability. aim of this report evaluate outcomes, present our approach using as method reduce risk partial necrosis reconstructing...
