Since the first true herniorrhaphy was performed by Bassini over 100 years ago, all modifications and surgical techniques have shared a common disadvantage: suture line tension. The anatomic, physiologic, and pathologic characteristics of hernia recurrence are examined. The prime etiologic factor behind most herniorrhaphy failures is the suturing together, under tension, of structures that are ...

End-to-end anastomosis in the A.Carotis communis of rats (average diameter 0,8-1,Omm) was achieved using Nd-YAG laser, Morphological and histological findings of laser anastomosis and suture anastomosis specimens were compared by the LAMA technique, The rats were examined 1 day. 1 month and 2 months postoperatively. Macroscopic. angiographic. histological and SEM studies showed no development o...

INOCULATION OF THYMUS IN SITU. The thymus of C57BL/Ka mice, aged 24 hr or less, was exposed by the technic described by Miller for neonatal thymectomy (10). A very small volume, less than 0.01 m], of RLV was injected into the right thymic lobe, using a 30-gauge needle; it was impossible to avoid some leakage of the inoculated material. The opening in the chest wall was sutured, and the babies w...

The interrupted vertical and horizontal mattress suture techniques are two of the most commonly used skin closure methods. These mattress sutures promote wound edge eversion and less prominent scarring. Vertical and horizontal mattress sutures allow for skin edges to be closed under tension when wound edges have to be brought together over a distance. The corner stitch, a variation of the horiz...

Intramuscular, full-thickness rotator cuff tears are uncommon and present a challenging clinical scenario for repair because traditional suture anchor or transosseous repair techniques are less feasible. The goal of repair is to achieve a tension-free reduction of both ends of the muscle to allow for adequate healing over time. Intramuscular tears of the infraspinatus specifically have rarely b...

To evaluate knot security, loop and size of suture tape wire. The single load to failure (LTF) cyclic loading one arthroscopic (Samsung Medical Center [SMC]) hand-tied (surgeon’s knot) using two tapes (Broadband-[BB], Suture Tape-[ST]) No. 2 wires (MaxBraid-[MB], FiberWire-[FW]). A third (FiberTape-[FT]), not commonly tied arthroscopically, was included in the group. Ten samples for each suture...

BACKGROUND Three commonly used sutures were tested in a pig model of bile duct anastomosis to assess their relative contributions to inflammation and scarring. METHODS Thirty pigs were randomised to bile duct division and anastomosis with either polyglyconate (Maxon), polyglactin 910 (Vicryl) or polypropylene (Prolene). Half the animals were sacrificed at two weeks and the remainder at 23 wee...

The achievement of consistently superior results in rhinoplasty is rendered difficult in part by a number of complex interplays between the anatomical structures of the nose and the techniques used for their alteration, such as tip sutures. The effects of sutures depend largely on the magnitude of suture tightening, the intrinsic forces on the cartilages, cartilage thickness, and the degree of ...

conclusions in the determination via 3d cranial tomography the presence of the parietal bones is important because, in case of agenesis the tension band does not benefit and on the contrary it creates extra stress on cerebral tissue. case report we presented a case with metopic and sagitta suture cranioschisis mimicking bilateral parietal bone agenesis (university of izmir of medicine, turkey, ...

adjustable suture in strabismus surgery is a way to get accurate alignment of the eyes after operation. this technique is used in cooperative patients, being either adults or children. we report the result of this technique in 120 patients, 70 with esotropia and 50 exotropia. the amount of deviation was between 20 and 60 prismdiopters. the patients were mostly adults and teenagers. and the youn...
