BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to describe the mini-open suture bridge technique with porcine dermal patch augmentation for massive rotator cuff tear and to assess preliminary clinical and radiological results. METHODS Five patients with massive rotator cuff tear for which it was not possible to restore the anatomical footprint underwent mini-open suture bridge repair using a porcine de...

introduction: medical undergraduates usually understand and memorize anatomical course material with difficulty. also, the current text books and atlases of anatomy and histology do not fulfill all the learning needs of the undergraduates. therefore, it is necessary to consider the role of internet websites and computer programs (i.e. the role of electronic learning) in teaching. the present re...

absracta rare variant of ansa cervicalis was discovered during dissection of the neck in amale cadaver. the superior root of the ansa cervicalis was formed by the c1 ventralramus. it accompanied with the vagus nerve in place of the hypoglossal nerve and descendedinto the carotid sheath with it. moreover the c1 ventral ramus formed fromthe sheath and joined the inferior root from c2 and c3 ventr...

Background This study aimed to investigate diverse structure of pulmonary blood vessels in patients with combined pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect and examine the effect on surgery result. Materials and Methods This cohort retrospective study was conducted on admitta...

INTRODUCTION Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) was introduced as a less aggressive treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) for patients ineligible for open repair (OR). OBJECTIVE To analyze EVAR's incorporation impact in the treatment of infra-renal abdominal aortic aneurysms in our institution. METHODS A retrospective study of the patients with diagnostic of infra-renal AAA treated...

INTRODUCTION To assess the anatomical changes taking place in the choroid after a scleral buckle (SB) procedure for retinal detachment repair. METHODS This cross-sectional study looked at 23 adults with a history of unilateral retinal detachment repaired with a SB or other encircling element. The subjects underwent bilateral Enhanced Depth Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography to image...

With the ongoing expansion of indications for endoscopic pediatric surgery and increasing experience with intracorporeal suturing, laparoscopic repair of duodenal atresia or stenosis is the challenge of the new century. In 2001 the first laparoscopic repair of a duodenal atresia was described by Bax et al. (2001), shortly followed by Rothenberg (2002) describing a series of four patients. There...

The face tells the world who we are and materially influences what we can become. The nose is a primary feature. Thin, supple cover and lining are shaped by a middle layer of bone and cartilage support to create its characteristic skin quality, border outline, and three-dimensional contour. The delicacy of its tissues, its central projecting location, and the need to reestablish both a normal a...

The anatomical localization of Inguinal region is important especially to pediatric surgeons and General Surgeons. A thorough understanding of groin anatomy is essential to successful inguinal hernia treatment. Conservative management of asymptomatic inguinal hernias is usually acceptable and Elective repair of inguinal hernias can be undertaken using a laparoscopic or open approach .Laparoscop...

Functional ischemic mitral regurgitation is a complex disorder with a poor prognosis. Although the underlying anatomical and pathophysiological mechanisms are not entirely clear, it is known that postinfarction left ventricular remodeling is the most significant factor in the development of this mitral valve lesion. Echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging have made significant contribut...
