A circular incision was then made round the tumour from 1 to 1? inches away from its base; despite the preliminary ligature of the carotid,' there was a great deal of haemorrhage, chiefly venous, the veins running on the surface of a wellmarked firm fibrous capsule; after the tumour had been rather more than half enucleated, the enucleation was begun from behind ; there was very considerable sh...

BACKGROUND A great number of studies have reported on the temporal branch anatomy and its relationship to the fascial layers and various fat pads of the temporal region, but no article has included information on the relationship of the temporal nerve to the retro-orbicularis oculi fat (ROOF) and/or the suborbicularis oculi fat (SOOF). OBJECTIVES The authors report the results of a series of ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the graft success rates and audiological outcomes of bilaterally performed type 1 tympanoplasty using cartilage palisades or temporal fascia in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients who underwent type 1 tympanoplasty at Medical Park Hospital between May 2007 and February 2013. 27 patients (54 ears) were enrolled in the...

Injection of hypertonic saline into deep tissues of the back (subcutis, muscle, or the surrounding fascia) can induce acute low back pain (LBP). So far, no study has analyzed differences in temporal, qualitative, and spatial pain characteristics originating from these tissues. The current study aimed to investigate the role of the thoracolumbar fascia as a potential source of LBP. In separate s...

HYPOTHESIS:Treatment of sulcus vocalis (SV), a pathological condition of the vocal fold in which the normal lamina propria is lost and replaced with scar tissue. In SV, the resulting incomplete glottal closure during phonation leads to the presenting symptoms of breathy hoarseness. We have developed a new surgical procedure called autologous transplantation of fascia into the vocal folds (ATFV)...

background: different interpositional materials have been used to prevent recurrence after gap arthroplasty in temporomandibular joint ankylosis. in this study, the temporalis superficial fascia flap was evaluated as an interpositional material after condylectomy.   materials and methods: 9 cases of unilateral or bilateral temporomandibular joint ankylosis were evaluated in this study with a fo...

DEAR EDITOR, We read with interest the technique described recently by Moran et al. for controlling intraoperative haemorrhage during cutaneous nasal surgery. We would like to suggest a similar technique that we have found useful in our department for skin surgery in the temporal region. The superficial temporal artery runs through the temporoparietal fascia, and supplies a wide region of soft ...
