objective:in this study, we assess long-term effects of vertical dome division (v.d.d) and suture techniques in patients with bulbous nose deformity and then compare the efficiency of these methods. material and methods: in this study 70 patients with bulbous nose deformity were divided into two equal groups of a and b in which group a with suture (transdomal and interdomal) technique and grou...

the silver nanoparticles are well-known for their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory wound healing abilities. we synthesized silver nanoparticles using chemical reduction method and the formation of the silver nanoparticles was characterized by uv-vis absorption spectroscopy, ft-ir and sem techniques. the minimum inhibitory concentration of the synthesized nanoparticles was determined for both gr...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the best treatment of incisional hernia, taking into account recurrence, complications, discomfort, cosmetic result, and patient satisfaction. BACKGROUND Long-term results of incisional hernia repair are lacking. Retrospective studies and the midterm results of this study indicate that mesh repair is superior to suture repair. However, ma...

We compared the pullout strength of a suture-based anchor versus a bioabsorbable anchor in the distal fibula and calcaneus and evaluated the relationship between bone mineral density and peak load to failure. Eight paired cadaveric specimens underwent a modified Broström procedure and Achilles tendon reattachment. The fibula and calcaneus in the paired specimens received either a suture-based a...

Throughout the history the most diverse suture material have been used for closing and suturing surgical wounds. The four basic features of suture material are described: knot safety, stretch capacity, tissue reactivity and wound safety. Tissue reaction, even the minimum one, which develops during the first to seven days after applying the suture in the tissue. The aim of this study was to inve...

FOR SURGEONS EARLY IN THE LEARNING CURVE of laparoscopic or robotic-assisted prostatectomy, the urethrovesical anastomosis may pose a difficult challenge. The use of sounds or perineal pressure to aid needle placement may be technically challenging and time consuming. Furthermore, the use of the Van Velthoven suture with a monofilament suture may lead to uncertainty regarding posterior approxim...

Repair of a torn quadriceps tendon is necessary to restore the extensor mechanism of the knee. Traditional repair involves transosseous sutures tied over bone bridges on the inferior pole of the patella. Suture anchor repair has been shown to be stronger than transosseous repair and facilitates a smaller incision. Suture tape can improve the strength of the suture-tendon interface, and when com...

Cranial suture development involves coordinated expression of multiple genes and tissue contribution from neural crest cells and paraxial mesoderm for timely sutural morphogenesis. Transcription factors, growth factors, and neural crest determinant genes play critical roles in calvarial growth ensuring normal development of the underlying brain. In vitro studies have implicated cell-cell adhesi...

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects on astigmatism after penetrating keratoplasty with three different suture techniques. In this prospective study, 38 eyes of 38 patients underwent penetrating keratoplasty with three suturing techniques: interrupted, single running, and double running. Topographic astigmatism was measured at 2, 6, 12, and 18 months after keratoplasty. During 1...
