We report on a new technical method of using an inverted and segmented galea-calvarial flap for simultaneous reconstruction of the frontal sinus and forehead. A 73-year-old man presented with the production of pus at the forehead, in which the frontal sinus had been involved 6 years postoperatively. The patient underwent surgery with our new simultaneous technique. During the 7 years of follow-...

The management of facial paralysis is one of the most complex areas of reconstructive surgery. Given the wide variety of functional and cosmetic deficits in the facial paralysis patient, the reconstructive surgeon requires a thorough understanding of the surgical techniques available to treat this condition. This review article will focus on surgical management of facial paralysis and the treat...

Local flaps are the standard procedure to reconstruct facial defects. As it occurs in any surgical procedure, the incision should be planned so that scars are located in the minimum skin tension lines. We report two cases of O to Z flaps in the supra and infraciliary regions. One of them is a hatchet flap.

pseudoaneurysms of the ascending aorta, which are rare and life-threatening complications in cardiovascular surgeries, can be caused by the bentall procedure. we describe a 44-year-old woman, who had a medical history of acute aortic dissection (type a) and the bentall procedure and was admitted because of exertional dyspnea, edema of the lower extremities, ascites, and holosystolic murmur in t...

background: surgical treatment of a ruptured abdominal aorta aneurysm (raaa) continues to present a significant challenge to surgeons. there are some patient factors such as age and gender that cannot be changed, and comorbid conditions can be optimized but not eliminated.  the purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors affecting high mortality after the surgical repair of an raaa. ...

background in some hospitals, urinalysis is done routinely for all patients scheduled for cardiac surgery. occasionally pyuria or bacteria is reported in the microscopic urinalysis of these patients that are clinically asymptomatic for urinary tract infections. objectives we were seeking answer to this question: is the presence of a different number of bacteria in preoperative microscopic urina...

results: In our series, 96 patients underwent secondary abdominal contour correction surgeries between 2007 and 2015. The encountered deformities have been classified in 7 main sections. According the deformities in each group, different surgical techniques have been planned and performed. Surgical scale has varied from a simple scar revision up to the reconstructive procedures with the tissue ...

conclusions both intravenous and epidural analgesic techniques with combination of analgesics provide proper postoperative pain control after major gynecologic cancer surgeries without any significant complications. regarding lower sedative and respiratory depressant effects of epidural analgesia, it seems that this method is a safer technique for postoperative pain relief in these patients. re...

conclusions intravenous magnesium sulfate with dose of 15 mg/kg could not prevent laryngospasm and coughing after removal of the endotracheal tube in patients undergoing adenotonsillectomy; however, it reduced coughing and laryngospasm in the magnesium sulfate group compared with the control group. results laryngospasm was not found in the magnesium sulfate group; however, its incidencewas5.7% ...
