Surgical robots have the potential to provide surgeons with increased capabilities, such as removing physiologic tremor, scaling motion and increasing manual dexterity. Several surgical specialties have subsequently integrated robotic surgery into common clinical practice. Plastic and reconstructive microsurgical procedures have not yet benefitted significantly from technical developments obser...

Modern imaging techniques including various echocardiographic technologies have become firmly established in the practice of cardiac surgery. The method intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is particular significance for ensuring safety patients during open heart This necessary performing reconstructive interventions on valve apparatus with initial myocardial dysfunction to ass...

The term oncoplastic surgery was coined to describe an evolving area of breast surgery that applies the principles of surgical oncology and plastic and reconstructive surgery to the management of women with breast cancer. Oncoplastic surgery does not describe a particular surgical procedure; it represents a comprehensive approach to surgical planning intended to achieve 1) widened surgical marg...

Outcomes after posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstructive surgery have historically been inferior to outcomes after reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). As such, some surgeons may be reluctant to recommend reconstruction of the PCL. However, recent technologic advances have substantially improved PCL reconstructive surgical outcomes. These advances include better unders...

today, the treatment of patellar luxations using current techniques has become a very common procedureas part of the surgical treatment. nevertheless, there are some doubts about such procedures in restraining the patella in lower grade cases. the purpose of the present retrospective clinical study was to determine theefficacy of the soft tissue and bone reconstructive procedures used for vario...

conclusions our study demonstrated the efficacy of rfviia in controlling postoperative bleeding in redo cardiac valve surgeries regarding subsequent blood loss and transfusion requirement; however, outcome results remains to be defined. results study groups showed no difference regarding baseline variables. three patients in rfviia group (16.67%) and 13 in placebo group (72.23%) received blood ...

a 54-year-old man referred to our center with barlow’s disease and severe mitral regurgitation. he had atrial fibrillation (af) rhythm, with a mildly enlarged left atrium (la). transesophageal echocardiography (tee) showed no clot in the la and la appendage; there was only mild spontaneous echo contrast in the la appendage. the patient underwent mitral valve repair and the maze operation, durin...

autogenous tooth transplantation (att) is a simple and reasonable choice for replacing the missing teeth when a proper donor tooth is available. this report presents a case of successful att of a maxillary right third molar for replacement of mandibular right second molar with a concomitant endodontic-periodontal disease. the mandibular second molar was believed to be hopeless due to a severe d...
