While there are many reasons the medial gastrocnemius flap is often favored treatment for soft tissue defects around knee area, this has some disadvantages. Reduced volume at distal part of and a short reach complicate provision sufficient coverage superior to patella lateral knee. In order overcome these shortcomings, we modified typical surgical technique by combining muscle sural artery perf...

Local hyperadrenergic states after a random flap elevation mediated by humoral vasoconstrictors can lead to necrosis. This study aimed evaluate the effect of Botulinum Toxin A (BoNT-A) on reducing levels Norepinephrine (NE) as main vasoactive substance, well its additive with Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) in increasing viability flap. 28 Wistar Rats Caudally Based Modified McFarlane...

Abstract As bridge spans stretch, the structure becomes more flexible and susceptible to dynamic wind effects causing harmful wind-induced vibration. The biggest issue with design of long-span bridges is possibility vibration caused by vortices. This study examines mechanism decrease in amplitude vortex-induced for box girder using a flap countermeasure. Aerodynamic countermeasures such as have...

Background To evaluate the versatility and reach of modified nasolabial flap used in reconstruction of defects created in and around the oral cavity. Methods A total number of 20 cases were selected. Out of which 13 were males and 7 females. The age of these patients ranged from 24-63 years. 29 modified nasolabial flaps were raised in twenty patients. Based on clinical and histopathological e...

Anophtalmic socket reconstruction is a challenging problem in plastic surgery. We had described a prefabricated superficial temporal fascia island flap and used this technique in >50 enucleation patients with severe socket contraction ending in excellent or good results for 28 years (Altindas- 1 procedure). However, the flap was not suitable for the exenteration patients with complete eyelid lo...
