Distal triceps ruptures are rare injuries due to the special anatomical features of the muscle and tendon-bone junction.This injury typically occurs at the tendon-bone junction due to an eccentric contraction of the muscle.The treatment is controversial, especially in partial ruptures; surgical repair is indicated for complete ruptures of the distal triceps tendon.Several repair techniques have...

The mitral valve (MV) is one of the atrioventricular heart valves and regulates the blood flow between the left atrium and ventricle during the cardiac cycle. Its anatomical structure is comprised of anterior and posterior leaflets, chordae tendineae, and papillary muscles. The main function of the MV is to prevent blood flow regurgitation back into the left atrium during systole. Abnormalities...

Lumbar hernia is a rare surgical entity without a standard method of repair. With advancements in laparoscopic techniques, successful lumbar herniorrhaphy can be achieved by the creation of a completely extraperitoneal working space and secure fixation of a wide posterior mesh. We present a total extraperitoneal laparoendoscopic repair of lumbar hernia, which allowed for minimal invasiveness wh...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To investigate the optimal technique for repairing recurrent rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. PATIENTS AND METHODS A 2-year retrospective review of recurrent rhegmatogenous retinal detachments by 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) or combined 23-gauge PPV with encircling scleral buckling was performed. The primary outcome was anatomical success. The secondary out...

Several options exist for the treatment of celiac artery aneurysms (CAAs), including surgical repair and endovascular procedures. However, CAAs is sometimes challenging due to their proximity ostium (CA) involvement branches. Herein, we describe a case giant CAA extending from proximal CA hepatosplenic bifurcation. Due anatomical complexity this CAA, control was major therapeutic concern. The p...

BACKGROUND Little is known about the morphology of healing rotator cuffs after surgical repair. This investigation aimed to determine whether there are changes in tendon thickness, subacromial bursa, anatomical footprint, tendon vascularity, and capsular thickness after rotator cuff repair, and whether supraspinatus tendon thickness correlates with pain. METHODS Fifty-seven patients completed...

Patients with severe symptomatic mitral regurgitation benefit from correction of mitral regurgitation. Surgical mitral valve repair or replacement is the current standard of care for these patients. However, high risk of surgery in many of these patients, lack of universal expertise for mitral valve repair and moderate long-term success in correcting functional mitral regurgitation are some of ...

background echocardiography is widely used to diagnose or exclude cardiac disease. the reports on reference values based on an asian population are limited. objectives we conducted a study to determine normal values for two-dimensional, m-mode, and doppler echocardiographic measurements and evaluate the relationship between these parameters and age and gender in a large, healthy iranian populat...

The anatomy of a persistent left superior vena cava (SVC) to the left atrium (LA) without the innominate vein can make it challenging to complete intracardiac repair. We reviewed our five cases of the direct end-to-side anastomosis of SVCs to facilitate anatomical repair of SVC-right atrial connection for biventricular repair. Diagnoses were two partial atrioventricular septal defect with left ...

The edge-to-edge technique was introduced into the surgical armamentarium of mitral valve repair in the early 1990s. From the beginning, it appeared to be an attractive approach because of its simplicity, reproducibility and effectiveness even in complex settings. Several institutions around the world adopted this surgical method in selected patients with mitral regurgitation due to different c...
