Giant cell tumor (GCT) remains as major health problem. GCT which located at the lower end of the radius tends to be more aggressive. Wide excision and reconstruction of the wrist in stage 3 of distal radius GCT lesion is an optimal modality to prevent tumor recurrence. However, dislocation often occurs as its complication. We are reporting patient with GCT of distal radius treated with wide ex...

This study evaluated the effects of using a titanium mesh for localized alveolar ridge augmentation. Seven consecutively treated human subjects participated in the study. Clinical, radiographic, laboratory, and histologic/histomorphometric analysis revealed the efficacy of using the titanium mesh in conjunction with intraorally harvested autogenous bone graft and inorganic bovine bone mineral (...

OBJECTIVE While transvaginal polypropylene mesh is increasingly used in the management of pelvic organ prolapse, contraction of the mesh after implantation may cause substantial morbidity. This report defines the clinical entity of vaginal mesh contraction. METHODS This is a case series of women who underwent surgical intervention for the management of symptomatic vaginal mesh contraction in ...

BACKGROUND Different methods for dressing of donor site of skin graft in burn patients have similarly pain, limitation of mobility of donor site and local complications such as infection and scar. Amniotic membrane has used for improvement of healing in some wounds. Accordingly in this study amnion was used as biologic dressing for donor site of skin graft to evaluate it’s efficacy in improveme...

BACKGROUND The therapeutic problems of giant incisional hernias of the abdominal wall are often difficult to resolve. The technique of repair must make up for the loss of abdominal wall substance and reestablish the interplay of the abdominal musculature. The use of prosthetic materials complies with these 2 imperatives. HYPOTHESIS The results of surgical treatment of postoperative incisional...

Parry-Romberg syndrome is a condition characterized mainly by left-sided hemifacial atrophy that affects skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, and bone. The pathophysiology not established several theories have been proposed, among which lymphocytic neurovasculitis manifested as chronic vascular lesion measured incomplete endothelial regeneration stands out. actual treatment consists of autologous...

BACKGROUND Excessive resection of penile skin is a rare but important complication of circumcision. Penis "trapping" under the skin and consequent sexual dysfunction occur as a result. CASE REPORT Excessive circumcision with complete resection of the penile skin is shown. Penis, trapped under the skin, was deliberated and skin defect was substituted with the full thickness skin graft. One yea...

associated with elective and emergent laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) and transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) procedures. Laparoscopic repair of large primary or recurrent Spigelian hernias may require mesh or fascia lata graft repair; however, patients with small Spigelian hernias (≤ 2 cm) can benefit from a simple, laparoscopy-assisted transfacial suturing technique that avoids mes...

Skin grafting is the easiest and the most reliable way to obtain proper wound coverage. However, the two major concerns of skin grafting are the poor color match in the recipient sites and donor site morbidity including pain, discomfort, and hypertrophic scarring. Major pigment mismatches are common in split-thickness grafts particularly in darker skinned patients including Asians (Fig. 1). Sev...

This report describes favorable outcomes in 9 patients with skin avulsion injuries of the extremities who underwent full-thickness skin grafting and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) application. Following removal of contaminated subcutaneous fat tissue on the inside of skin, the avulsed skin was processed into a full-thickness skin graft, with as much of the skin used as possible irrespect...
