Distally based sural artery flap without sural nerve.
The distal third of the tibia, ankle and heel area is difficult to reconstruct. For small to medium size defects, local flaps are often an easier alternative than free flap. In lower limb surgery, the sural flap is based on this principle and this flap is becoming increasingly popular. The distally based superficial sural artery flap, first described as a distally based neuro skin flap by masqu...
متن کاملIntravenous Access in Infants Undergoing Bilateral Sural Nerve Grafts for Primary Brachial Plexus Exploration
Background Intravenous access (IVA) in infants undergoing primary brachial plexus exploration may be difficult. Both lower limbs are prepared and draped for sural nerve graft harvesting. The injured upper limb is also prepared and draped and is not available for IVA. In difficult IVA from the remaining upper limb, we have been using one of the feet for IVA. The infection rate and problems of in...
متن کاملNear nerve potential of sural nerve in leprosy.
Leprosy neuropathy is characterized by initial involvement of the small nerve fibers, later followed by involvement of the large fibers, when routine nerve conduction studies become abnormal. To increase the diagnostic yield and precocity of these studies, we applied the near nerve technique to the sural nerve of 8 leprosy patients. Contrary to our expectations, the main component of the sural ...
متن کاملEndoscopically-assisted transmastoid approach to the geniculate ganglion and labyrinthine facial nerve
BACKGROUND Endoscopic transcanal approaches to the facial nerve allow excellent exposure of the tympanic facial nerve. This approach becomes limited when access is required to the more proximal geniculate ganglion and labyrinthine portion of the facial nerve. The aim of this report was to determine the feasibility of a transmastoid endoscopically assisted approach to the geniculate ganglion and...
متن کاملEndoscopically assisted correction of sagittal craniosynostosis.
Craniosynostosis is premature fusion of one or more of the cranial sutures of an infant's skull. Several sutures may be fused, alone or in combination. The endoscopically assisted approach to correcting craniosynostosis is an alternative to more traditional techniques, such as open-strip craniectomy and the Pi procedure for infants younger than four months of age and the cranial vault remodelin...
