Background: Buccal mucosal graft is commonly used in substitution urethroplasty for the treatment of anterior urethral strictures. However, optimal management donor site remains a topic debate. This prospective study aimed to compare outcomes and morbidity associated with closure versus non-closure buccal harvesting urethroplasty.

In this paper we will generalize  some of known results on the tight closure of an ideal to the tight closure of an ideal relative to a module .

closure of fascia after transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (tram) flap has usually been performed with direct closure or synthetic material. the dermal autograft was removed from zone iv of flap was an alternative to reinforce fascial closure. the dermal autograft was used in 34 patients after tram harvest for breast, head and neck reconstruction and prolene mesh was used in 42 other ...

Intra-abdominal myositis ossificans, also known as heterotopic mesenteric ossification, defines the formation of bone-like lesions inside the abdominal cavity. It is a rare medical condition, usually following abdominal surgery or trauma.
