Incisions for excision

Nucleotide excision repair by dual incisions in plants.

Plants use light for photosynthesis and for various signaling purposes. The UV wavelengths in sunlight also introduce DNA damage in the form of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone photoproducts [(6-4)PPs] that must be repaired for the survival of the plant. Genome sequencing has revealed the presence of genes for both CPD and (6-4)PP photolyases, as well as gene...

Excision of radial head fractures with medially displaced fragments using 2 incisions: the nutcracker effect.

Marginal radial head fractures with displaced fragments are relatively common, especially when associated with a concomitant posterior elbow dislocation. The separated fragments are usually displaced forward and outward into the lateral part of the elbow or proximally in the elbow joint. Ulnar displacement of the separated fragments has been described in few cases, and in most of them treatment...

Abdominal Incisions

The abdominal parietes depend to a large extent for their arrangement upon the survival and evolution of those structures which are of use in the economy. We should therefore expect, as we find, that the normal anatomical arrangement of the abdominal wall, as the outcome of evolution, is the standard of perfection, the ideal of the wise surgeon. In our reverie we may look back to the time when ...

Buried mattress suture for cataract incisions.

Jost I. BARRAQUER MONER (1957) has described in detail many possible variations of buried sutures in the section for cataract extractions, and another was mentioned by Joaquin Barraquer Moner (1956). These have numerous advantages, especially reduced post-operative discomfort. The modification to be described seems to produce better apposition of the edges of the wound, and places the knot behi...
