The choice of surgical incision in the abdomen is determined by access for surgery. It has been suggested that utilizing a transverse or oblique rather than a midline incision may influence other parameters such as duration of surgery, recovery and complication rates. However, there is a little study as to whether a particular incision confers any advantage. The aim of the study was to determin...

Background: Efficacy of Centella asiatica on incision and burn wounds are not sufficiently known. In this study we evaluated[SYG1] wound healing activities of different extracts of Centella asiatica, namely hexane, ethyl acetate, methanol, and water extracts, in incision and partial-thickness burn wound models in rats. Results: On day 7 post-wounding, tensile strength of incision wound in all e...

The wound healing activity of ethanol extract of Terminalia bellirica Roxb. fruit was evaluated on excision and incision wound model, in albino rats, in the form of an ointment with two concentrations (2 and 4% w/w ointment) of fruit extract in simple ointment base. Both concentrations of the ethanol extract showed significant response in both the wound types tested when compared with the contr...

Purpose: The fruits of Limonia acidissima Linn are used traditionally in India for the treatment of tumours, asthma, wounds, cardiac debility and hepatitis. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the wound healing activity of the methanol extract of its fruit pulp (MELA) in incision, excision and dead-space wound models. Methods: Albino rats of either sex were divided into four groups...

Elephantopus scaber and Clinacanthus nutans are traditionally used as wound healing herb. The objective of the present study is to develop a new polyherbal formulation, by comparison, the herbal combination of Elephantopus scaber and Clinacanthus nutans as an in vitro antioxidant activity with their individual herbal activity followed by fractionation of polyherbal formulation for in vivo wound...

BACKGROUND The wound healing process is complex and still poorly understood. Sericin is a silk protein synthesized by silk worms (Bombyx mori). The objective of this study was to evaluate in vivo wound healing effects of a sericin-containing gel formulation in an incision wound model in rats. MATERIAL/METHODS Twenty-eight Wistar-Albino rats were divided into 4 groups (n=7). No intervention or...

BACKGROUND Sternal wound infection remains a serious potential complication after cardiac surgery. A recent development for preventing wound complications after surgery is the adjunctive treatment of closed incisions with negative pressure wound therapy. Suggested mechanisms of preventive action are improving the local blood flow, removing fluids and components in these fluids, helping keep the...

purpose : to introduce a small incision technique of fascia lata (fl) harvesting for frontalis suspension blepharoptosis procedure. methods : a skin incision was made in a line between the lateral condyle of the tibia and the anterior superior iliac crest, starting 4- 5 cm above the knee and extending upward 2- 2.5 cm . approximately 8 cm superior to the first incision, a second skin incision w...

The clinical and histological features of wound healing of three common types of surgical flap designs used in periapical surgery were evaluated. A semilunar incision of alveolar mucosa, a submarginal incision of attached gingiva, and an intrasulcular incision of the attachment apparatus and papillae of the teeth were performed on beagles and observed at intervals of up to 60 days. Inflammatory...
