The endoscopy-assisted technique has been demonstrated in harvesting muscle flaps; however, for pedicled freestyle fasciocutaneous flaps, few studies have applied this technique. We present a surgical procedure utilizing endoscopic-assisted method to identify the perforators of pedicled freestyle fasciocutaneous flaps for the reconstruction of soft tissue defects. From August to December 2012, ...

Background: Plastic and reconstructive surgeons consider a variety of options to salvage limbs patients when operating on soft tissue defects the plantar forefoot in diabetic foot ulcers. This study focuses efficacy durability perforator flaps compared that random flaps, covering area patients.<br/>Methods: From January 2011 August 2020, we performed 49 reconstructions cover diabetes usin...

background:   to introduce our experience of using the free neurovascular flap from great and second toe. methods:   thirteen patients (fifteen fingers) sought surgical treatment for soft tissue defects of the hand at our medical institutin between march 2006 and september 2009. in two patients, fibular side skin-nail flaps of great toe were applied to cover the dorsal defect of distal thumb. i...

The surgical resection of a squamous cell carcinoma in a cat was performed on both the palpebral and nasal aspects of the OD medial canthus. A two-stage surgical technique was employed, involving two different transposition flaps, taking care to maintain eyelid function and estheticism, with a long follow-up.

The authors present a comprehensive treatment guide to nasal septal perforations. Successful surgical repair requires vascularized tissue flaps, interpositional tissue scaffolding, and tension-free closure. However, surgical techniques vary with the size of the defect, and there is no single universally effective procedure.

A case of marked penile skin loss following an adult circumcision is presented. The surgical requirement is to provide a soft and flexible cover for the penis to facilitate return of sensation and function. The two stage bilateral dartos musculocutaneous flaps offer an acceptable surgical alternative.

PURPOSE To report our experience on lid reconstruction in patients with epitheliomas. METHODS A total of 41 consecutive patients affected by basal cell (n=32) or squamous cell carcinoma (n=9) underwent partial (n=35) or total (n=6) surgical demolition of the lower lid. Surgical defects<25% (n=10) received direct closure. If the defect involved 30-60% of the eyelid (n=21), a Tenzel semicircula...

Introduction A substantial body of literature has been devoted to the distinct characteristics and surgical options to repair the skull base. However, the skull base is an anatomically challenging location that requires a three-dimensional reconstruction approach. Furthermore, advances in endoscopic skull base surgery encompass a wide range of surgical pathology, from benign tumors to sinonasal...

OBJECTIVE It is important that during preoperative skin preparation surgical site markings are not erased. The effects of 2 common types of skin preparation solutions on surgical site markings were compared. METHODS Fasciocutaneous skin flaps were harvested and 20 random combinations of 3 letters were written on the skin flaps with a black permanent marker. Ten of the 3-letter combinations re...

OBJECTIVES To analyze publications related to augmentation procedures and to evaluate the success of different surgical techniques for ridge reconstruction and the survival/success rates of implants placed in the augmented areas. MATERIAL AND METHODS Clinical investigations published in English involving at least 5 patients and with a minimum follow-up of 6 months were included. The following...
