Background: Peripheral nerve pathology is frequently encountered in clinical practice among peripheral and extremity surgeons. One major factor limiting regeneration possibly leading to revision surgeries the development of traumatic or postoperative adhesions scarring around nerves. In experimental models, different materials have been studied limit scar tissue formation when wrapped Methods: ...

Dermatologic surgery can sometimes result in scars that are less than satisfactory. Such results, and hence the need for scar revision, can be avoided with careful planning and the use of appropriate surgical techniques. In this practical review, we describe several techniques that will improve functional and cosmetic outcomes. While Z-plasty and its variants are simple yet essential surgical p...

results: In our series, 96 patients underwent secondary abdominal contour correction surgeries between 2007 and 2015. The encountered deformities have been classified in 7 main sections. According the deformities in each group, different surgical techniques have been planned and performed. Surgical scale has varied from a simple scar revision up to the reconstructive procedures with the tissue ...

Abdominal wall defects continue to be a challenging problem for reconstructive surgeons. The aim of our study was to report a 3-year experience using a simple Two-step Technique (TST) to treat abdominal wall defects. Between January 2008 and December 2010, 20 patients with abdominal wall defects were treated by TST. Patients had a mean age of 37·5 ± 14·9 years (range: 22-85 years); 5 were women...

The management of upper-extremity burn contractures is a major challenge for plastic surgeons. After approval by the Food and Drug Administration, artificial skin (Integra) has been available in Taiwan since 1997. From January of 1997 to July of 1999, the authors applied artificial skin to 13 severely burned patients for the reconstruction of their upper extremities, resulting in an increased r...

Cesarean scar ectopic pregnancies and molar pregnancies are two very rare obstetric pathologies. In both cases, serious morbidities are involved that require careful management. The coexistence of the two clinical conditions is far less common and there are a limited number of cases in the literature. In this case report, a 34-year-old patient with previous cesarean section was diagnosed as hav...

Foraminiferal revision of the Holkerian Stratotype Britain at Barker Scar, Holker Hall, south Cumbria, UK, allows subdivision section into Cf4?, Cf5? and Cf5? subzones (the latter being further subdivided lower Cf5?1 upper Cf5?2 intervals). The base subzone bed C from middle part C, occur 14 m 10.5 m, respectively, below traditional basal boundary K. boundaries these foraminiferal within main i...

INTRODUCTION Obesity is now an epidemic in industrialized countries with high prevalence (U.S. with 67%, Europa from 40% to 50%). This had led to the development of many bariatric procedures. Nevertheless, the primary surgery could fails due to several conditions. There is no standard re-operative procedure of revision for primary bariatric failure. Re-operate in the place of the primary surger...
