Aim: To compare the outcomes of two different flap techniques, namely Partial Newmann Flap (FNP) and Modified (MPNF), in surgical extraction mandibular third molars. Methods: This randomised clinical study included 186 participants, 93 each group. The research comprised male female patients aged 20–45 with lower mesioangular impacted molar till 18–21. Patients vertically wisdom teeth, disto-ang...

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. This st...

PURPOSE To describe a new technique for staged hypospadias repair in which the urethral plate is divided and tubularized transverse island flap prefabricated partial distal urethral at the time of the first stage. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen patients with proximal hypospadias associated with severe chordee were operated on using a new staged technique. At the time of the first stage, the ur...

Background. The essential drawbacks of conventional tissue expansion, a technique widely used in reconstructive surgery, are its significant duration and the high complications rate. The experience of our clinic covers 329 patients treated with this method from 1987 to 2006. The mean time of expansion was previously 72 ± 2 days (± SD) and the rate of local complications was 38.6%. We applied ef...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The aim of this study is to analyze and compare the early complications and recurrent results of Z-plasty, Limberg flap, and asymmetric modified Limberg flap both demographically and clinically. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between March 2009 and February 2010, a total of 45 patients with pilonidal sinus were enrolled in this study. 10 of 45 patients (22.2%) required Z-plasty; 24...

Aim: To analyze the clinical results of regenerative treatment intrabony defects using minimally invasive flaps in patients with periodontitis.Methods: A scoping review was conducted. Pubmed, Scopus, Ebsco Complete, and OpenGrey were searched for relevant articles several (probing depth, insertion level, gingival margin recession) radiographic indicators evaluated. We also evaluated flap design...

OBJECTIVE Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors, used to increase penile blood flow in erectile dysfunction patients, have recently been postulated to increase blood flow and flap survival in cutaneous flaps based on random blood supply. This study aims to investigate the phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor tadalafil, administered orally, on random flap survival. METHODS Modified McFarlane flaps measuring...
