Topology, Geometry, and Mechanics of Z-Plasty.
Reconstructive surgeries often use topological manipulation of tissue to minimize postoperative scarring. The most common version of this, Z-plasty, involves modifying a straight line cut into a Z shape, followed by a rotational transposition of the resulting triangular pedicle flaps, and a final restitching of the wound. This locally reorients the anisotropic stress field and reduces the poten...
متن کاملGeometry & Topology Monographs Z 2 {systolic-freedom
We give the rst example of systolic freedom over torsion coefcients. The phenomenon is a bit unexpected (contrary to a conjecture of Gromov’s) and more delicate than systolic freedom over the integers. Dedicated to Rob Kirby, a lover of Mathematics and other wild places. Thank you for your inspiration. AMS Classi cation 53C22
متن کاملZ-Plasty Made Simple
A Z-plasty is a critical and reliable technique that is useful for scar revisions and correction of free margin distortion. A Z-plasty can help lengthen a contracted scar, change the direction of a scar so that it is better aligned with the relaxed skin tension lines, or interrupt and break a scar for better camouflage. This article will review the technique of a basic Z-plasty as well as provi...
متن کاملGeometry and Topology in Hamiltonian Dynamics and Statistical Mechanics
Springer 1 Introduction This book reports on an unconventional explanation of the origin of chaos in Hamiltonian dynamics and on a new theory of the origin of thermodynamic phase transitions. The mathematical concepts and methods used are borrowed from Riemannian geometry and from elementary differential topology, respectively. The new approach proposed also unveils deep connections between the...
متن کاملTongue-tie Repair: Z-Plasty Vs Simple Release
Introduction: Ankyloglossia is a congenital anomaly in which the lingual frenulum is unusually short and thick, thus decreasing tongue mobility. In the context of the newborn or young infant it is a subject of ongoing controversy within and between medical specialties. The controversy involves not only the definition but also the management of this anomaly. A tight lingual frenulum is considere...
