A 10-year-old, male, neutered whippet was presented with a soft tissue mass located on the medial aspect of the distal right tibia. The mass was 4 cm in diameter and of two months duration. Recent biopsy by the referring veterinarian, prompted by noticeable enlargement, identified the mass as a soft tissue sarcoma. Staging assessments did not reveal any evidence of metastases. Marginal excision...

A 47-year-old female with a locally advanced urologic malignancy previously managed with resection, diversion, and postoperative radiation therapy presented for management of her recurrent cancer that had eroded through the soft tissues of the left inner thigh and vulva. On all staging studies the tumor involved the left common femoral artery, and vein, both above and below the inguinal ligamen...

Management of defects on the hand and foot with exposed tendons remains a major challenge for plastic surgeons. Here, we present a case of hand reconstruction with a totally laparoscopic peritoneal flap. The anterior rectus sheath was preserved in situ. The peritoneal free flap supplied by peritoneal branches of the deep inferior epigastric artery was retrieved by laparoscopy to cover the soft ...

a pseudo aneurysm results from leakage of blood from an artery after trauma or dehiscence or separation of a surgical anastomosis. the reported rate of pseudo aneurysm in access sites range from 0.88% to 8%. it has some cause like penetrating trauma, blunt trauma and endovascular procedure. the differential diagnoses of this lesion are hematoma, av fistula, lymphadenopathy, lymphocele, dvt, com...

nowadays, one of the main problems encountered in minimally invasive surgery and telesurgery is the detection of arteries in tissue. in this study, for the first time, tactile detection of an artery in tissue and distinguishing it from the tumor has been modeled by finite element method. in this modeling, three 2d models of tissue have been created: tissue, tissue including a tumor, and tissue ...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: robotic needle insertion in biological tissues has been known as one the most applicable procedures in sampling, robotic injection and different medical therapies and operations. objective: in this paper, we would like to investigate the effects of angular velocity in soft tissue insertion procedure by considering force-displacement diag...

conclusion our preliminary results have shown that although there is some overlap between benign and malignant tumors, adding dwi, mr imaging to routine soft tissue tumor protocols may improve diagnostic accuracy. results there was only one patient with a malignant cystic tumor and was not included in the statistical analysis. the median adc values of benign and malignant tumors were 2.31 ± 1.2...

in this paper, the focus is on a new kind of biodegradable semi-interpenetrating polymer networks, which derived from ɛ-caprolactone, lactide, 1,4-butane diisocyanate and ethylenediamine and also its potential has been investigated in soft tissue engineering applications. the polymers were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) spectrometry, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (f...

purpose : to present a case of missed intraorbital wooden foreign body presented as soft tissue mass case report : we introduce a case of intraorbital wooden foreign body which presented with orbital soft tissue mass two years after trauma. a plain ct was requested which revealed a foreign body in the right orbit.conclusion : it is frequently difficult to identify and localize organic intraorbi...

Soft tissue defect in the foot is commonly seen as it more prone to trophic ulcers since main weight bearing area of body. Reconstruction requires provision a stable, supple, durable and preferably sensate skin coverage. Following Sir Gilli’s principle replacing like with like, medial plantar artery flap provides an anatomically similar, glabrous for coverage on surface. In present study, we sh...
