ReSultS: Case logs of 818 plastic surgery residents were analyzed. Integrated residents performed more browlift, brachioplasty, abdominoplasty, and thighplasty surgeries over several graduating years (p < 0.05). Independent residents performed more blepharoplasty, breast augmentation and mastopexy surgeries during 2014 (p < 0.05). No differences were observed for facelift, rhinoplasty, breast r...

The rate of redo surgeries are increasing on account of previously performed coronary artery bypass graft surgeries, aortic/ mitral valve replacement surgeries due to valve stenosis/ regurgitation, mitral valve repair for ischemic mitral regurgitation, the aging in the population, mechanical valve thrombosis and wearing out of the mechanical valves.Resternotomy, anterolateral right thoracotomy ...

Since complexity of surgical procedures has increased, and patients' co-morbidities have become more frequent, the risk of clinical complications in dermatologic surgery has also increased in the past decades. In order to better assess these risks, a flowchart based on a ruling triad consisting of the patient's health status, sedation level, and procedure complexity was developed to establish t...

Given a knot K in a 3–manifold, the following operation is called Dehn surgery on K : Remove an open regular neighborhood of K , and glue a solid torus back. Dehn surgeries on the trivial knot in the 3–sphere S give the well-known class of 3– manifolds, the so-called lens spaces. On the other hand, it is known that only restricted Dehn surgeries on nontrivial knots yield lens spaces. Such a non...

Hyperosmotic-hyperoncotic solutions have been widely used during prehospital care of trauma patients and have shown positive hemodynamic effects. Recently, there has been a growing interest in intra-operative use of hypertonic solutions. We reviewed 30 clinical studies on the use of hypertonic saline solutions during surgeries, with the majority being cardiac surgeries. Reduced positive fluid b...

introduction. shiraz university of medical sciences presents surgical facilities in two services, the morning and the afternoon services. in this study,the number and type of ent operations performed in these two services during a 12 months period in khalili hospital were compared to find out the differences between the operations performed in these services and the role they have in the educat...

We classify Dehn surgeries on (p, q, r) pretzel knots resulting in a manifold M(α) having cyclic fundamental group and analyze those leading to a finite fundamental group. The proof uses the theory of cyclic and finite surgeries developed by Culler, Shalen, Boyer, and Zhang. In particular, CullerShalen seminorms play a central role.

It is proved that every knot in the major subfamilies of J. Berge’s lens surgery (i.e., knots yielding a lens space by Dehn surgery) is presented by an L-shaped (real) plane curve as a divide knot defined by N. A’Campo in the context of the singularity of the complex curves. The corresponding plane curves are constructed. Such presentations support us to study each knot of lens surgery itself, ...

Two Dehn surgeries on a knot are called purely cosmetic, if they yield manifolds that are homeomorphic as oriented manifolds. Suppose there exist purely cosmetic surgeries on a knot in S, we show that the two surgery slopes must be the opposite of each other. One ingredient of our proof is a Dehn surgery formula for correction terms in Heegaard Floer homology.
