in this case report, we described a 74-year-old female patient with major complaint of respiratory problemsdyspnea after meal. chest x-ray of the patient revealed a  gianttype iv hiatal hernia. preoperative evaluations of the patient included esophagoscopy, esophageal manometry, barium swallow, and ct-scan. repair of the hernia was performed using a dual mesh on the diaphragm and partial anteri...

abstract traumatic rupture of the distal biceps tendon is rare. conservative treatment can result in reduced flexion and supination power with reduced function. this case report emphasizes the need for prompt surgical treatment and describes the possible complications of delayed surgical intervention.

the aim of this article is to present a new technique of giant omphaloceles repair in neonatal period and also later in life in patients that the primary repair has been failed. from 1999 to 2006, seven consecutive children (male/female ratio 0.4) with giant omphalocele (n=6) and gastroschesis (n=2) were underwent this new operation in our center. in this technique, there were two operations. t...

Mycotic aortic aneurysms account for 1–3% of all aortic aneurysms. The management of this disease is controversial. Since open surgical repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, endovascular aneurysm repair is an alternative treatment method with promising early and midterm outcomes, although its long-term durability is unknown.Secondary aortoenteric fistulas may occur iatro...

now-a-days truncus arteriosus has been known as “common arterial trunk” (cat) and is an uncommon congenital cardiac defect presenting in about 1-3% congenital heart disease. environmental and genetic factors effects on incidence of cat and other conotruncal anomalies. the majority patients with cat and 22q11 deletion have other anomalies such as hypoplasia or aplasia of the thymus or parath...

Background: Axotomy causes sensory neuronal loss. Reconnection of proximal and distal nerve ends by surgical repair improves neuronal survival. It is important to know the morphology of primary sensory neurons after the surgical repair of their peripheral processes. Methods: Animals (male Wistar rats) were exposed to models of sciatic nerve transection, direct epineurial suture repair of sciati...

Introduction: Since 1954, after the first surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), several innovations have occurred in cardiac surgery, especially in children. One stage complete repair of TOF is currently possible even in infancy; however, complications such as hypoxemia, arrhythmia, cardiac dysfunction, sudden death, and valvular disorders may happen. In this study, we evaluated the res...
