conclusion vr reconstruction for both single-direction images and sushi using dti25 raw data provides excellent 3d displays of the peripheral nerves in the wrist region. sushi post-processing is a useful denoising tool because it automatically reduces the majority of isotropic object noise. results single-direction vr reconstruction clearly showed the nerves for both dti6 and dti25 but with obv...

Background: Lip carcinoma is a common cancer with a good prognosis and when patients refer early in the course of disease the results of treatment are acceptable. Surgical procedures for reconstruction of lip defects are the use of remaining lip tissue, tissue from the opposite lip, adjacent cheek tissue, distant flaps and microvascular free flaps. The bitemporal (visor) flap is a regional...

introduction: repair of peripheral nerve injuries is an intensive area of challenge and research in modern reconstructive microsurgery. intensive research is being carried out to develop effective alternatives to the standard nerve autografting, avoiding its drawbacks. the aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a newly designed mechanical device for the reconstruction of the scia...

PURPOSE Despite the advances in microvascular free tissue transfer for intraoral reconstruction, this surgery is not recommended for all patients. In specific cases, the pedicled temporoparietal galeal flap may be an option for reconstructive procedures in the head and neck regions. The objective of this paper is to present the anatomical aspects of a galeal flap based on the superficial tempor...

We present five cases of patients diagnosed of a facial nerve tumoral lesion localised at the Geniculate Ganglion and all of which underwent surgical resection. The initial symptoms were in four cases of peripheral facial nerve paralysis and in the fifth case facial paresis. Two trans-mastoid extralabyrinthine approaches were performed and one through a combined path (middle fossa and trans-mas...

introduction: malignant tumors of the parotid gland account scarcely for 5% of all head and neck tumors. most of these neoplasms have a high tendency for recurrence, local infiltration, perineural extension, and metastasis. although uncommon, these malignant tumors require complex surgical treatment sometimes involving a total parotidectomy including a complete facial nerve resection. severe fu...
