Right-sided aortic arches are rare, affecting approximately 0.1% of the population. They are a result of abnormal development of the primitive aortic arches and may present later in life with later life with aneurysmal expansion of the aberrant left subclavian artery 'Kommerell's diverticulum'. These can be challenging to treat effectively. We report a rare case presenting with mild dysphagia a...

Dear Editor, The principles of exploration and repair of orbital floor fractures are to restore the anatomical structure of the orbital wall to its original state (as much as possible), functional capabilities of the extraocular muscles and useful binocular single vision. Various materials have been used in the repair of such fractures, including autogenous (cartilage, bone) and alloplastic (e....

Rotator cuff tears are a common cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction that affect all kinds of people, from sedentary individuals to elite athletes. Surgical repair of rotator cuff tears aims to re-establish the shoulder’s normal anatomical structure with restoration of pain-free motion, strength, and function. Rotator cuff repair (RCR) has evolved from an all-open procedure to an arthroscopic...

The patient was a 32-year-old woman who presented with infertility secondary to uterine didelphys. Hysteroscopic metroplasty was chosen as the corrective surgical procedure for this anatomical defect. During the surgical repair, the patient developed a massive air embolism (MAE) leading to hypotension, arrhythmia, and cardiogenic shock. Resuscitation was started by placing the patient in the ri...

Satellite cells reside beneath the basal lamina of skeletal muscle fibers and include cells that act as precursors for muscle growth and repair. Although they share a common anatomical localization and typically are considered a homogeneous population, satellite cells actually exhibit substantial heterogeneity. We used cell-surface marker expression to purify from the satellite cell pool a dist...

BACKGROUND In patients with panfacial fractures and distorted anatomic landmarks of zygomatic and orbital complex, there is a risk of zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) malpositioning even with the best efforts for surgical repair. This results in increased number of additional procedures to achieve accurate positioning. METHODS We describe the usage of intraoperative C-arm cone-beam computed ...

A wound is a disruption of the normal anatomical structure and function of a tissue. Wounds cure in an orderly and timely repair process which is characterized by three dynamic and interactive phases: inflammation, proliferation and the remodeling. The present review was designed to elaborate the cellular and molecular targets for plant secondary metabolites that target the various aspects of w...

Peripheral nerve injury is a common clinical problem because the dysfunction of distal limb seriously affects patients’ quality of life, and it results in a huge social and economic burden.[1] Repair of peripheral nerve injury is a very complex pathological process. Due to slow nerve regeneration, Wallerian degeneration of nerve stump, tissue adhesion, atrophy of muscles and motor end plates an...

Genitourinary structures are at risk of injury during colorectal surgery. The incidence of injury is low; however, the risk is higher in cases involving severe inflammatory or infectious processes, locally advanced or recurrent cancer, previous radiation, and reoperation. Consideration of the anatomical relationship between the genitourinary system, and the colon and rectum is crucial to avoid ...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-guided robotic interventions for aortic valve repair promise to dramatically reduce time and cost of operations when compared to endoscopically guided (EG) procedures. A challenging issue is real-time and robust tracking of anatomical landmark points. The interventional tool should be constantly adjusted via a closed feedback control loop to avoid harming these ...
