Dermal fat grafts have been utilized in plastic surgery for both reconstructive and aesthetic purposes of the face, breast, and body. There are multiple reports in the literature on the male phallus augmentation with the use of dermal fat grafts. Few reports describe female genitalia aesthetic surgery, in particular rejuvenation of the labia majora. In this report we describe an indication and ...

BACKGROUND Autologous osteochondral plug grafts have been used for capitellar osteochondritis dissecans (OCD), and good clinical results have been described. However, little is known about the optimal timing of return to sports. PURPOSE To investigate the clinical outcomes of open autologous osteochondral plug grafts for capitellar OCD and to address the timing of return to sports. STUDY DE...

PURPOSE To evaluate the functional outcome of tissue-engineered corneal endothelium reconstructed on a devitalized carrier and transplanted in the living feline model. METHODS Eighteen healthy adult cats underwent full-thickness corneal transplantation. In 11 animals, the donor cornea was reconstructed from cultured allogeneic feline corneal endothelial cells seeded on the denuded Descemet's ...

INTRODUCTION Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation offers the opportunity for extended survival in patients with Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin lymphomas who relapsed after, or were deemed ineligible for, autologous transplantation. This study reports the cumulative experience of a single center over the past 14 years aiming to define the impact of patient, disease, and transplant-relat...

Bone has a capability to repair itself when it is fractured. Repair involves the generation of intermediatetissues, such as fibrous connective tissue, cartilage and woven bone, before final bone healing can occur. Theprocess of cartilage-to-bone transition (CBT) is a key for the achievement of rigid bone healing duringfracture repair. We tested this potential for elastic cartilage using a long ...

OBJECTIVE To compare various graft materials in the rabbit model, including autologous cartilage, dermal tissue, fat, and AlloDerm (a cadaver-derived material). METHODS Twenty-five New Zealand white rabbits were used. Equally sized autogenous (fat, fascia, cartilage, and dermal) grafts and AlloDerm were implanted into subcutaneous dorsal pockets on the rabbits. Animals were killed 1, 2, 3, an...

Biomaterials are increasingly used for bone tissue regeneration because of their potential to overcome the morbidity caused by autologous grafts and allografts. A combination properties is required, as biocompatibility, osteoconductivity, good mechanical strength fracture toughness. In this research, a compound alumina matrix with calcium titanate phosphate proposed. Magnesium stearate was poro...

The costo-chondral junctional cartilage is ideal situations demanding excess graft, then harv...

In 1878, Emil Berthold was the first to describe the surgical procedure of myringoplasty, using a free skin graft from the forearm,1 although Edward Ely argued in a later publication that he had been the pioneer in this procedure.2 But it was only in the 1950s that tympanoplasty-related articles reappeared in the literature. The fundamental principles of the surgical procedure were described by...
