In the attempt to optimise the balance between the risk of local recurrence and the cosmetic outcomes in breast surgery, new surgical procedures, so-called oncoplastic techniques, have been introduced in recent years. The term oncoplastic surgery refers to surgery on the basis of oncological principles during which the techniques of plastic surgery are used, mostly for reconstructive and cosmet...

We report the design of an injectable synthetic and biodegradable polymeric biomaterial comprised of polyethylene glycol and a polycarbonate of dihydroxyacetone (MPEG-pDHA). MPEG-pDHA is a thixotropic physically cross-linked hydrogel, displays rapid chain relaxation, is easily extruded through narrow-gauge needles, biodegrades into inert products, and is well tolerated by soft tissues. We demon...

Early escharectomy in deep partial- and full-thickness burns of the hand has proved to have an advantage over late surgical treatment. It provides an improved functional and cosmetic result. Hand deformities, the need for secondary reconstructive procedures, and morbidity are significantly reduced. In our clinic we prefer to use early escharectomy in all full-thickness burns of the hand unless ...

INTRODUCTION Oncologic surgery leads to important defects and sequelae, as well as notable cosmetic and functional alterations. In this aspect reconstructive surgery has an essential role, allowing more radical excision and lower associated functional and cosmetic morbidities. The aim of this study was to present and evaluate the experience and results of the reconstructive microsurgery unit in...

today, the treatment of patellar luxations using current techniques has become a very common procedureas part of the surgical treatment. nevertheless, there are some doubts about such procedures in restraining the patella in lower grade cases. the purpose of the present retrospective clinical study was to determine theefficacy of the soft tissue and bone reconstructive procedures used for vario...

Conjoined twins are derived from the division of a single fertilized ovum; a phenomenon accompanied with multiple congenital anomalies. Such twins are identical, of the same sex, and more likely to be female. Most twins die during the embryonic period, and only 18% survive longer than 24 hours. There are complex anomalies in thoraco-omphalopagus twins that makes them unlikely to live long enoug...

IMPORTANCE Nasal defects commonly are a result of removal of skin lesions, and reconstruction presents a cosmetic challenge to surgeons. Conventional thought and study results have held that cosmetic outcomes of local flap reconstructions may be superior to those of skin grafts. However, local flap reconstructions require more adjunctive procedures. We propose that in select cases, skin grafts ...
