In order to evaluate the outcome and complications of Z plasty in pilonidal cyst repair, 90 patients with pilonidal cysts of the natal cleft were selected and repaired by Z-plasty in Al-Zahra hospital. The patients were followed for 6 months and complications such as seroma, infection and relapse were evaluated. The incidence of seroma, infection and relapse after Z-plasty was 12%,3.3% and ...

The Z-plasty and its variations are techniques commonly performed in plastic surgery. However, there are few descriptions and comparisons of the various types of Z-plasty. This article examines the mechanics of the Z-plasty and its variations. Understanding the geometry of the different variations will allow selection of the most appropriate Z-plasty for contracture release.

Introduction. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer. It consitutes for about non-melanoma skin cancers. Basal cell carcinoma localizes mainly on the face and neck. Forehead belongs to the most common locations. In the treatment of basal cell carcinoma a lot of methods can be proposed, however surgical excision with adequate margins remains the most effective. Depending on th...

We studied 11 patients with checkrein deformities of the hallux who underwent surgical treatment. Six had lengthening of the flexor hallucis longus tendon by Z-plasty in the midfoot, and five underwent release of adhesions and lengthening of the tendon by Z-plasty at the musculotendinous junction at the fracture site. All six patients who underwent Z-plasty at the midfoot showed complete correc...

M oday, O cber 9, 2017 augmention with silicone implant and tip plasty with autogenous cartilage are the most commonly performed in Asian rhinoplasty.1–4 Nasal skeleton, soft tissue thickness, tip shape and patient’s desire are the considering factor for the nasal tip plasty. However, there is no report about classification and algorithm of tip plasty based on silicone implant, resulting in dif...

PURPOSE S-plasty for pilonidal disease reduces the tension on the midline by distributing it diagonally and flattening the natal cleft. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of S-plasty on simple midline primary closure and the clinical features of pilonidal patients in a low incidence country. METHODS S-plasty was applied on 17 patients from July 2008 to October 2010. Data of th...

BACKGROUND Postoperative subdural fluid collection sometimes occurs after clipping of cerebral aneurysms. Arachnoid plasty is used to prevent such postoperative complications; however, the optimal materials for arachnoid plasty remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to clarify the optimal materials for arachnoid plasty and report our experience of arachnoid plasty after clipping of unruptured ...

BACKGROUND Cryptotia correction by V-Y advancement of a temporal triangular flap was introduced in 2005. However, despite the several advantages of V-Y advancement, visible scars at the donor site are problematic. As a result, a Z-plasty technique was considered for skin deficiency in mild cases. Therefore, we introduce a new surgical scheme for cryptotia correction based on considerations of t...

The most difficult problems that follow surgery for pilonidal disease are persistent unhealed midline wound and recurrence. Various innovations were proposed to deal with these problems. The adipocutaneous flap of Karydakis was devised to shift the natal cleft, while Z-plasty involves fasciocutaneous flap. The present prospective randomized trial was conducted on 50 cases of symptomatic or recu...
