PURPOSE To present a previously unreported avulsion-type injury of the rectus muscle, usually the inferior rectus, and detail its diagnosis and operative repair. METHODS Thirty-five patients underwent repair of flap tears of 42 rectus muscles. The muscle abnormality was often subtle, with narrowing or thinning of the remaining attached global layer of muscle. The detached flap of external (or...

BACKGROUND Current teaching suggests increased perfusion in free transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flaps over pedicled TRAM flaps, broadening indications for its use in high risk patients. This study compared perfusion analysis of free muscle-sparing versus pedicle TRAM flaps in vivo in the peri-operative and late post-operative periods. METHODS The SPY-Elite system using...

The development of rectus muscles in human fetuses in the twelfth to the twenty-eighth week of menstrual age was studied macroscopically and stereomicroscopically. The standard insertion sites and width of the rectus muscles were determined, at each week of menstrual, age. The shortest distance from each rectus muscle insertion site to the corneal limb us increased, rapidly with age and reached...

Abstract Aim The retromuscular repair described by Pauli et al. (2016) dissects the space, releases transversus muscle, and lateralizes stoma to place a mesh. aim was show results of robotic approach for this intervention. Material & Methods Video description case report. patient 71-year-old woman that underwent an abdominoperineal resection rectal cancer in 2017 presented with 5.8 cm paras...

Background: To evaluate ocular complications of strabismus surgery at the Department of Strabismus and Neuroophthalmology in our clinic. Methods: The medical records of patients who underwent strabismus surgery between March 1999 and February 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with minor ocular complications such as wound irregularities, conjunctivitis, subconjunctival hemorrhage, and...
