The autologous vascularised free fibula flap is currently considered the best option for facial reconstruction after oncological surgery, but its donor-site morbidity has not been fully examined. purpose was to evaluate changes in temporal and spatial kinematic gait parameters during stair climbing, as well symmetry. Fourteen patients (48 ± 16 years) were evaluated before six months harvest of ...

Sarday, M ay 6, 2017 moyamoya disease (6). Flaps included flow through radial forearm fasciocutaneous flaps (2), a flow through radial forearm fascial flap (1) and flow through pedicled temporoparietal fascial flaps (4). The superficial temporal vessels (6) and facial vessels (1) were used as the recipient site pedicle. Flow through reperfusion was established into the middle cerebral artery (5...

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...

Introduction. The reconstruction of columella defects is still regarded as a challenging procedure due to the very specific anatomy and limited local regional flap options. Furthermore, texture color tissue pose difficulties in choosing right method reconstruction. Case report. report presents patient who underwent complex defect using Schmid-Meyer flap. represents tubular with an internal supr...

Aim of this report is to present a new surgical technique for the BAHA system implant and to discuss the operational techniques and complications related to this type of surgery. The common technique for the positioning of the Bone-Anchored Hearing Aid (BAHA, Cochlear Limited, Englewood, CO, USA) titanium implant into the temporal bone is based on the use of either a free or a pedunculated skin...

IMPORTANCE Minimizing morbidity when performing free flap reconstruction of the head and neck is important in the overall reconstructive paradigm. OBJECTIVE To examine the indications and success rates of free tissue transfer using small-caliber facial recipient vessels and minimal access incisions. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Retrospective medical record review of patients with head ...
