BACKGROUND Two-stage reimplantation arthroplasty is one of the standard treatments for chronic periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Scanty data exist regarding the risk factors for failure after two-stage reimplantation for periprosthetic hip infection. The purpose of this study was to investigate and identify the risk factors associated with failure after two-stage reimplantation hip arthropl...

Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is a rapidly evolving area of medicine and dentistry with a prevalence of use of 9 to 65% worldwide. Phytomedicines have come to occupy a place in dentistry and of these; propolis is a medicament that has been widely tested. Propolis has far reaching applications in dentistry, ranging from its use as a pulp capping agent to its role as a medium for a...

The aim of this case report was to present a treatment for severe inflammatory external root resorption. The condition developed due to the patient's neglect to seek adequate treatment following replantation of an avulsed maxillary left central incisor. Following diagnosis, treatment consisted of conventional endodontic therapy with calcium hydroxide dressings and definitive filling of the root...

Mandibular canal is the most important anatomical landmark in the body of mandible which always must be considered for implant surgery in posterior mandibular region. Damage to vessels and inferior alveolar nerve that passes through the mandibular canal can cause problems such as hemorrhage and neurosensory disturbances. Damage to the mandibular canal can occur during implant surgery. Depending...

OBJECTIVE When a pacemaker box causes erosion it is usually removed and a new pacemaker implanted at a contralateral site. In this study when there was no evidence of systemic infection an attempt was made to clean and reimplant the same pacemaker in the same site. RESULTS Over 10 years 62 patients had pacemaker reimplantation. In 18 patients the procedure was repeated a second time. Reimplan...

OBJECTIVE To report a case of severe hydronephrosis 20 years after bladder exstrophy (BE) repair, managed by bilateral ureteral tapering and secondary ureteroneocystostomy. CASE PRESENTATION A 21-year-old woman with a history of BE and ureteral reimplantation, presented with hematuria-dysuria syndrome and recurrent febrile urinary tract infections. After counselling, she elected to undergo bi...

The technical details of aortic valve reimplantation as a treatment for aortic root aneurism with or without aortic valve insufficiency has been previously described in several studies (1,2). Variations in the aortic valve reimplantation operation have been developed, with the common goal of achieving not only perfect intraoperative results, but also long-term stability. The Valsalva graft (Vas...

OBJECTIVES We have recently shown that valve sparing reimplantation (VSR) improves the durability of bicuspid aortic valve repair in comparison with subcommissural annuloplasty. The aim of this study was to assess the degree of annular reduction provided by these techniques and to correlate these findings with repair durability. METHODS From 1995 to 2010, 161 patients underwent bicuspid valve...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical features of cochlear reimplantation due to device failure. METHODS The medical records of 30 patients who had undergone a revision cochlear implantation were retrospectively reviewed. Causes of revision operations, number of electrode channels inserted, and postoperative speech performances were analyzed. RESULTS Device failure (...

Received October 2006 Accepted May 2007 INTRODUCTION Ureteral anomalies, ectopic ureter being one of them, are of the most important urogenital abnormalities because they directly affect kidney function.(1) Several techniques have been used for treatment of ectopic ureter. The goal of obstruction relief can be achieved by either ureteropyelostomy or common sheath ureteral reimplantation for a d...
