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: traumatic or congenital events can result in injury and functional deficiency in the hand and we need to reconstruct the fingers at times. studies are available in the pediatric and adult age groups to assess the length of the thumb. but to the best our knowledge no measurement of the relative clinical length of all fingers has been reported in the literature. we performe...

Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technology that creates three dimensional (3D) images of breast tissue. Tomosynthesis mammography detects lesions that are not detectable with other imaging systems. If image reconstruction time is in the order of seconds, we can use Tomosynthesis systems to perform Tomosynthesis-guided Interventional procedures. This research has been designed to study u...

purpose: reconstruction programs have two approaches: in-situ reconstructions and relocation. different experiences around the world show little acceptance of relocation programs by people which new sites were left or did not return to their pre-boom. meanwhile, estalkhkooh village relocation program shows vice versa. villagers not only accept their new relocated village but also are trying to ...

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...

Background: Reconstructions of acute acromioclavicular (AC) dislocations have been thought to result in superioroutcomes than chronic dislocations. The use of tendon graft in reconstructions has demonstrated favorablebiomechanical properties. To determine whether utilizing tendon graft during repair of acute AC dislocations results insuperior outcomes and lower complication ra...

background: a rare and devastating complication following anterior cruciate ligament (acl) revision reconstruction is femoral fracture.    case presentation: a 35-year old male soccer player with a history of acl tear from the previous year ago, who underwent arthroscopic acl reconstruction and functioned well until another similar injury caused acl re-rupture. revision of acl reconstruction wa...

background: proposing a strategy for sellar reconstruction in endoscopic transsphenoidal transsellar approach for pituitary adenoma. methods: 240 patients with pituitary adenoma underwent pure endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery. intra-operative csf leaks were classified as grade 0, no observable leak grade 1, csf dripping through an arachnoid membrane defect of less than 1 mm and grad...

objective(s): the aim of this study was to determine the optimal reconstruction parameters for iterative reconstruction in different devices and collimators for dopamine transporter (dat) single-photon emission computed tomography (spect). the results were compared between filtered back projection (fbp) and different attenuation correction (ac) methods.methods: an anthropomorphic striatal phant...

conclusions in selected recipients with psc, dd reconstruction is a safe and efficacious technique, with long-term clinical outcomes comparable to ryh. background while roux-en-y hepaticojejunostomy (ryh) is the common anastomotic technique for liver transplantation (lt) in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (psc), duct-to-duct (dd) reconstruction may be used if the recipient common b...
