Scar endometriosis is a rare condition. We report a case of scar endometriosis occurring at the site of a four years old cesarean section scar. She complained of painful sensation during menstruation for 2 years that occurred at the site of her cesarean section surgical scar. On examination, there was a firm nodule measuring 3 × 2 cm in size at the right side of the scar. In view of the possibi...

Introduction: Hemangiomas that have undergone involution, also a risk for the formation of residual scar tissue or scar, as well hemangiomas undergoing excision therapy. Scar, especially those occur in areas are visible open, certainly has implications patient's quality life. This study aimed to determine level satisfaction hemangioma patients who received propranolol therapy with based on resu...

Background: Cutaneous wound healing and scarring are poorly understood in the setting of immunosuppressive therapies for anti-rejection post solid organ transplantation. Purpose/Hypothesis: To investigate whether concurrent use agents during cutaneous surgery correlates with less favorable outcomes. Methods: A prospective cohort study at University Iowa studied patients undergoing elliptical ex...

BACKGROUND Congenital melanocytic nevi may have various shapes according to the anatomic location. Therefore, it is desirable to apply proper surgical designs to the diverse forms considering the characteristics of the sites as well as the shape and size. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to introduce a new scar-saving flap design for semicircular defects after removing congenital mela...

The authors describe a vertical reduction mammaplasty technique for avoiding skin excess at the vertical scar. Conical projection of the breast is achieved by cranial to caudal gland-shaping sutures. Excision of redundant skin is performed in a triangular pattern, creating bilateral dog ears. Resection of these dog ears results in a short, symmetrical horizontal scar located at the new submamma...

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of functioning endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. This disease is one of the most common gynecologic disorders in reproductive age women. It generally occurs in pelvic cavity. But extrapelvic location has been defined (such as extremities, central nervous system, lungs, pleurae, liver, umbilicus, pericardium, urinary tract, intestines, and su...

Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is a rare condition that usually develops in a surgical scar resulting from a Caesarean section. While commonly seen in the cutaneous and subcutaneous fat tissue at the Caesarean scar level, its intramuscular localization is quite rare. Its treatment options consist of the excision of the lesion and/or hormonal therapies, although wide surgical excision is the...

Cutaneous injuries that result in scar formation are relatively common, leading patients to seek treatment for cosmetic or functional improvement. Treatments that have the potential to improve or eliminate scarring include radiation therapy, surgical excision, and intralesional injections of corticosteroids, 5-flourouracil, or bleomycin. Unfortunately, these methods are associated with high rec...

for the first time we have used eyelid skin expansion to facilitate reconstruction of selected patients with shortage of lid skin (e.g. for burn scar and after excision of tumors). this method allows for a controlled increase in skin, need for reconstruction, and offers many advantages over grafted skin transfered from a distance. color, texture, thinness, delicacy and adnexal structures are ae...

Reduction mammaplasty combining a superomedial pedicle with a circumareolar/vertical pattern skin excision avoids an inferior pedicle that can interfere with vertical scar technique, yet it is flexible enough to allow for a short transverse skin excision. This technique is suitable for small to moderate-size reductions.
