introduction: dorsal nasal irregularity is a complication of rhinoplasty surgery, mostly seen in patients with thin skin. acellular dermis (cenoderm) and homologous fascia lata covering the nasal bone cartilage structure have been used to achieve a smooth surface. in this study, we aimed to investigate clinical outcomes using these two materials. materials and methods: after a standard rhinopla...

Received March 5, 1984; accepted May 18, 1984. On physical examination, there was tenderness in the L 1 area. Neurologic examination was normal. Initial radiographs (fig. 1A) of the lumbosacral spine revealed a compression fracture of the L 1 vertebra; subsequent myelography demonstrated an extradural block at the same level. At surgery, a standard posterior exposure of the dorsal arches of T10...

We describe a rare and interesting case of a basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSC) of the uterine cervix with metastasis in the left iliac region diagnosed by fine needle aspiration (FNA). A 54-year-old woman underwent FNA because of a mass in the left iliac region. The material was processed by conventional liquid based cytology (ThinPrep), and by the cell-block technique and diagnosis was ba...

CONTEXT Reconstruction of mandibular defect is a challenge to the head and neck surgeon because of associated functional and esthetic problems. Our experience with the use of nonvascularized iliac crest bone graft is hereby reported. AIM The aim was to report our experience with the use of nonvascularized iliac crest bone for mandibular defect reconstruction at University College Hospital, Ib...

INTRODUCTION Femoral neck fractures are a common and painful injury. Femoral nerve blocks, and a variant of this technique termed the '3-in-1' block, are often used in this patient group, but their effect is variable. The fascia iliaca compartment block (FIB) has been proposed as an alternative, but the relative effectiveness of the two techniques in the early stages of care is unknown. We ther...

these investigations indicate that the anterior layer of the renal fascia continues across the midline of the body in front of the aorta and inferior vena cava to become continuous with a similar layer on the opposite side of the body. the posterior layer of the renal fascia blends with the fascia covering the psoas major especially at the medial and lateral edges of this muscle. but, in additi...
