Skin necrosis is a rare complication after thoracomyoplasty and usually needs conservative treatment. We described positive findings with surgical approach. A 54-year-old man showed bronchopleural fistula after undergoing right pneumonectomy for lung cancer, treated with thoracomyoplasty. On the 20th postoperative day, a skin wound lesion was noted, whose deterioration required a skin flap tran...

INTRODUCTION Endoscopic surgical techniques improve the surgeon's view of sinus structures but are subject to extraocular muscle complications that cause permanent diplopia. METHODS A series of 15 patients with strabismus following endoscopic sinus surgery was reviewed retrospectively to characterize the type of muscle injury and report the results of surgical correction. RESULTS A variety ...

Introduction The surgical removal of an impacted lower third molar (LM3) is a common operation that generally requires the elevation mucoperiosteal flap. triangular and envelope flap designs have been extensively studied are mostly described in literature. However, Denmark, technique where papilla between adjacent second first spared (papilla sparing [PSF]), used. This has limited presence aims...

Radial forearm free flap surgery is a versatile technique that is widely adopted for microvascular reconstruction of the oral, oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal lining. Nowadays, the technique for harvesting is standardized, while reconstruction of the forearm donor site defect is somewhat controversial. The authors describe a modified closure technique developed to reduce skin tension that prov...

Scleral fixation of intraocular lenses (IOLs) can be performed under the protection of a scleral flap. A variation of this technique uses a scleral tunnel for suture fixation to the eye. Passage of a double-armed suture through the roof of the scleral tunnel with subsequent retrieval of the suture ends through the external incision for tying facilitates scleral fixation. This modification offer...

BACKGROUND Macrostomia as a rare facial deformity is classified among facial clefts. It originates from failure in union of maxillary and mandibular prominences of first brachial arch during 7(th) embryonic week. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of bilateral macrostomia (bilateral lip cleft) in a female newborn as a sole entity without other skeletal and facial deformities. The cleft was re...

About a month after the operation, a swelling was perceived at the frontal sinus and bridge of the nose extending towards the roof of both orbits ; it rapidly increased, and it was evident that the tumour had recurred. An incision was therefore made above and al...

Wound healing responses of the tissues of the periodontium following periradicular surgery in rhesus monkeys were evaluated by light microscopy. Part II of this investigation reports the responses of mucoperiosteal and osseous tissues to blunt dissectional wounding resulting from the reflection of triangular or submarginal rectangular flaps. Healing of the dissectional wound is rapid, although ...
