BACKGROUND The parapapillary gamma zone has recently been defined as the parapapillary region free of Bruch's membrane. Although it has been reported the presence of defects in peripapillary gamma zone, hitherto undescribed is the herniation of the retinal nerve fiver layer tissue into the peripapillary gamma zone defect with the resulting localized defects in the retinal nerve fiber layer. C...

A statistically significant association with uterine rupture during a trial of labour after caesarean delivery was found in at least two studies for the following variables: inter-delivery interval (higher risk with short interval), birth weight (higher risk if 4000 g or over), induction of labour (higher risk), oxytocin dose (higher risk with higher doses), and previous vaginal delivery (lower...

OBJECTIVE Providing adequate soft tissue cover while preventing wound breakdown and infection can present a challenge when repairing large meningomyeloceles. Adding an extra barrier to protect the underlying dural elements in the event of complications should lower the morbidity and mortality associated with large repairs, which are at risk of dehiscence and subsequent exposure of the neural el...

Materials and methods: The results of surgical treatment in 30 patients with oral oropharyngeal cancer were studied. Postoperative complications analyzed according to the Clavien-Dindo classification, causes postoperative after reconstructive operations. Results: developed 20.0% cases represented by dehiscence wound edges, bleeding, long-term period formation a pharyngostomy, osteradionecrosis ...

background: socket preservation after tooth extraction is one of the indications of bone grafting to enhance preorthodontic condition. the aim of this study is to determine the effects of socket preservation on the immediate tooth movement, alveolar ridge height preservation and orthodontic root resorption. materials and methods: in a split-mouth technique, twelve sites in three dogs were inves...

purpose: to investigate the incidence, mechanisms, characteristics, and visual outcomes of traumatic wound dehiscence following keratoplasty. methods: medical records of 32 consecutive patients with traumatic globe rupture following keratoplasty who had been treated at our center from 2001 to 2009 were retrospectively reviewed. results: the study population consisted of 32 eyes of 32 patients i...

Oronasal fistulae are common complication following palatoraphy. There several surgical procedures to repair oronasal fistulae. However, conventional closure technique is not always possible, especially when the surrounding tissue replaced by fibrotic due previous Tissue defects in should be with tissues providing good vascularisation such as pedicle tongue flap. A case of flap used close was r...

the distally based sural fasciocutaneous flap has become a main part of the reconstruction of the lower leg, heel and foot. however, perfusion problems and venous congestion have been reported. over the past decade, several flap modifications have been reported to improve flap viability and to solve a myriad of reconstructive needs. the purpose of this paper is to describe our experience in har...

OBJECTIVE To examine the association between dehiscence length in patients with superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome and their clinical findings, including objective audiometric and vestibular testing results. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS Patients included in this study were diagnosed with superior semicircular canal dehiscence sy...
