PURPOSE S-plasty for pilonidal disease reduces the tension on the midline by distributing it diagonally and flattening the natal cleft. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of S-plasty on simple midline primary closure and the clinical features of pilonidal patients in a low incidence country. METHODS S-plasty was applied on 17 patients from July 2008 to October 2010. Data of th...

BACKGROUND Postoperative subdural fluid collection sometimes occurs after clipping of cerebral aneurysms. Arachnoid plasty is used to prevent such postoperative complications; however, the optimal materials for arachnoid plasty remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to clarify the optimal materials for arachnoid plasty and report our experience of arachnoid plasty after clipping of unruptured ...

BACKGROUND Chronic otitis media with effusion is a persistent complication essentially universal in children with cleft palate. The prevalence of chronic otitis media with effusion is hypothesized to be a result of Eustachian tube dysfunction secondary to the anomalous insertion of the palatal musculature. This study was designed to evaluate the timing of tympanostomy tube placement and the eff...

Dear Sir, We would like to present the use of the S-plasty method for revising the inset of a flap. Occasionally, the inset of a flap results in a depressed scar at the junction between the flap and the normal skin. This scar is further accentuated in a bulky flap. An S-plasty was designed over the depressed portion of the scar (Fig. 1). The S-plasty involves making a series of small-wave like ...
