introduction: pilonidal sinus is a common disease in sacrococcygeal area, which mostly caught young people and cause disability, which needs complete rest at home and taking off from work. although the surgical treatment of this problem goes back to the last century, still optimal treatment is a controversy. recent studies have raised different surgical approaches, so that there is no general a...

BACKGROUND Complex central chest wall resection defects present a challenging management problem for both thoracic and reconstructive surgeons. Although most chest wall defects can be repaired using local and regional flaps, more complicated cases require increasingly sophisticated techniques such as microsurgical free tissue transfer. This study reviews a single plastic surgeon's experience ov...

Background: Gingival recession has become a serious problem since it high prevalence among the 88% population of world. Various mucogingival therapy becomes treatment choice for gingival recession, such as sub ephitelial connective tissue graft, coronally positioned flap, an acellular dermal matrix application. SureDerm can be used treatment. Case: A 22-year old male patient came to Periodontic...

We report a case of a woman affected by covered exstrophy, uterus didelphys and external genital malformation presenting with advanced bladder cancer. After neoadjuvant therapy and anterior pelvic exenteration, the abdominal wall was reconstructed with a pedicled myocutaneous muscle-sparing vastus lateralis flap.

The prediction of aerodynamic characteristics and smart flap of airfoil under the ground effect are carried out by the integration of computational fluid dynamics. Considering different types of beams, a parametric bending profile of a smart flap is designed. Cantilever beam with uniformly varying load with roller support at the free end is considered in here. A pressure-based implicit procedur...

BACKGROUND Reconstruction of upper extremity deformities continues to be a challenge to the reconstructive surgeon. Various loco regional, distant and free flaps are available for reconstruction. However, each has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Of the commonly performed local flaps, radial artery forearm flap, and the posterior interosseus artery flap stand out prominently. Rec...

background: the standard methods for reconstruction of soft tissue defects in the leg include gastrocnemius flap for proximal third defects, soleus flap for middle third and free flap in the distal third. however, there are problems with the use of free flap, like increased operative time, damage of major vessels and the need for experienced microsurgeon. mathods: this prospective study was und...

abstract background: the transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (tram) flap remains the gold standard for postmastectomy reconstruction either immediate or delayed. however, transfer of tram flap can be associated with donor site morbidities and complications in flap. a successful reconstruction consists of careful patient selection, surgical technique and meticulous preoperative planning...
