Intercostal, ilioinguinal, and iliohypogastric nerve transfers for lower limb reinnervation after spinal cord injury: an anatomical feasibility and experimental study

Effect of Aspirin on Spinal Cord Injury: An Experimental Study

Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory drug, peroxyl radical scavenger, and antioxidant agent that inhibits phospholipases, nitric oxide synthetases, and cyclooxygenase enzymes. The existing literature contains no studies on the effects of various doses of aspirin on spinal cord injury (SCI). Therefore, we sought to investigate the putative effects of aspirin on experimental SCI.The weight-drop injury...

Lower Limb Rehabilitation Following Spinal Cord Injury

Ultrasonography for ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve blocks in children.

BACKGROUND The ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block is a popular regional anaesthetic technique for children undergoing inguinal surgery. The success rate is only 70-80% and complications may occur. A prospective randomized double-blinded study was designed to compare the use of ultrasonography with the conventional ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block technique. METHODS One hundred c...

The efficacy of ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block for postoperative pain after caesarean section

BACKGROUND The effect of ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric (II-IH) nerve block on postoperative pain is well documented when performed before Caesarean section (CS) but the efficacy remains unclear when performed after the surgical procedure. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of II-IH nerve block on postoperative pain and analgesic consumption in patients when performed after CS...

Abstract: An Anatomical and Histological Intercostal Nerve Study to Determine Optimal Recipient Site for Sensory Reinnervation in Autologous Breast Reconstruction

resection for breast cancer or carcinoma in situ, followed by breast reconstruction, from 2010 to 2015. 524 patients met inclusion criteria: 148 (28.2%) patients underwent AFG (test group), while 376 (71.7%) patients did not undergo AFG (control group). Patient demographics, cancer characteristics, oncologic treatment, surgical treatment, surgical complications, local recurrence, and distant me...
