Efficacy of Autologous Buccal Mucosa Graft from Twin Dogs with Congenital Secondary Cleft Palates

Abnormal behavioural patterns in dogs with cleft palates.

Cleft lip and palate, separately or in combination, are amongst the most frequent congenital deformities found in mankind and its incidence may be as high as one birth in every seven hundred [Graber, 1969]. Furthermore, a twenty-year study indicates that the occurrence of cleft lip and palate is increasing [Fogh-Andcrsen, 1961]. In order to obtain information which may aid in the treatment of p...

Re: Impact of graft position on failure of single-stage bulbar urethroplasties with buccal mucosa graft.

OBJECTIVE To determine whether patency rates after bulbar urethroplasty with buccal mucosa graft onlay differ on the basis of whether the graft is placed ventrally or dorsally. METHODS This was a retrospective single-center study of all single-stage bulbar urethroplasties performed from 2001 to 2011 by 2 surgeons in which buccal mucosa was used as an onlay graft. Failure was defined as the ne...

Ventral Onlay Buccal Mucosa Graft in Complex Hypospadias Repair

Hypospadias is the most common penile congenital anomaly [2] and the second most common congenital malformation in males, occurring in approximately one in 125 live male births [3]. Two theories were suggested for development of hypospadias, endodermal theory and ectodermal theory [4]. Types of hypospadias are anterior, middle and posterior with the posterior type account approximately 20% of c...
