Outcome Analysis of End-to-End and End-to-Side Anastomoses in 131 Patients Undergoing Microsurgical Free Flap Reconstruction of the Lower Extremity

چکیده
The evolution of microsurgery to date has enabled microsurgeons to perform anastomoses of 0.5-mm-caliber vessels,1 so-called “super-microsurgery,” and thus facilitating even the most sophisticated free flaps. In 1997, Samaha et al examined the fate ofmore than 2,000 microvascular anastomoses in more than 900 tissue transplants,2 comparing end-to-end versus end-to-side techniques. In contrast to Godina, who advocated the preferential

Zygomatico-maxillary Reconstruction with Computer-aided Manufacturing of a Free DCIA Osseous Flap and Intraoral Anastomoses
Craniomaxillofacial reconstruction using virtual surgical planning, computer-aided manufacturing, and new microsurgical techniques optimizes patient-specific and defect-directed reconstruction. A 3D customized free deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA) flap with intraoral anastomoses was performed on a 23-year-old man with a posttraumatic right zygomatico-maxillary defect with failure of alloplas...
متن کاملClinical experience in end-to-side venous anastomoses with a microvascular anastomotic coupling device in head and neck reconstruction.
BACKGROUND Microvascular anastomosis remains one of the most technically sensitive aspects of free-tissue transfer reconstructions. Despite the availability of various mechanical anastomotic coupling systems for human clinical use during the last 8 years, reported clinical series remain rare. OBJECTIVE To describe a clinical experience in applying a mechanical microvascular anastomotic coupli...
متن کاملComparison of nerve repair with end to end, end to side with window and end to side without window methods in lower extremity of rat
Abstract Background : Although, different studies on end-to-side nerve repair, results are controversial. The importance of this method in case is unavailability of proximal nerve. In this method, donor nerves also remain intact and without injury. In compare to other classic procedures, end-to-side repair is not much time consuming and needs less dissection. Overall, the previous studies i...

Abstract The leg is a complex district with functions of weightbearing support, stability, and motility. The management of extensive and complex defects is more challenging and often results in leg amputation or shortening. Leg amputation is a severe mutilation that alters the patient’s work and social life by limiting ambulation and self-sufficiency. During a 3 years period we trea...
متن کاملThe Clinical Outcome of Simultaneous Lateral Closed- Wedge Distal Femoral Osteotomy and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in the ACL-deficient Knees with Symptomatic Femoral Varus Deformity
Background: Nowadays combined high tibial osteotomy and ACL reconstruction is accepted as a safe and effectivesurgery for patients with symptomatic varus osteoarthritis and anterior knee instability; however, the source of varusdeformity is sometimes the femoral bone. No studies have reported concomitant ACL reconstruction and distal femoralosteotomy in ACL-deficient knees wit...
