* The graft blocks (ischaemia) after the patient has been discharged from hospital, and so are presented * Late disruption around the anastomosis firstly to the general practitioner. (true and false aneurysms) Saphenous nerve damage is relatively common and may result in * The graft sends off showers of thrombi paraesthesia or numbness on the lower medial thigh. Femoral nerve damage (emboli) is...

Dec 2009 were studied. Patients with vascular injuries caused by causes other than tear gas shells were excluded from the study. Results: All patients were treated with reverse saphenous vein graft as segmental loss was less than 2.5 cm. Wound infection was the most common complication, followed by graft occlu-sion. Amputation rate was 16.66%. Associated nerve injury occurred in 44.44% ...

background: peripheral nerves may be damaged during an injury and its current standard treatment is using an autologous nerve. objectives: the purpose of this experimental study is to evaluate and compare the histological results of nerve regeneration after using the eggshell membrane (esm) guidance channel with autograft. materials and methods: thirty adult male rats were divided into three ex...

Autograft is gold standard treatment for peripheral nerve repair up to now. Eggshell membrane (ESM) as nerve guide channel effectively enhances nerve regeneration. Dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of DMSO+eggshell membrane guide channel on sciatic nerve regeneration in rats. Thirty two adult male rats ...

Background & Aim: Various landmarks are discussed to find the facial nerve during parotid surgery. The surgeon should use existing landmarks for a safe surgical use. To evaluate two new landmarks in parotid surgery, this study was done. Methods & Materials/Patients: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 43 patients with parotid masses, whom were referred to Alzahra and Kashani tertiary...

IMPORTANCE Free muscle transfer innervated by a cross-facial nerve graft represents the criterion standard for smile reconstruction in facial paralysis. If primary reconstruction fails, a second muscle transfer is usually needed. Herein, we investigated the possibility of avoiding a second free muscle transfer by in situ coaptation of the gracilis muscle to the masseteric nerve. OBSERVATIONS ...

The use of a vein graft as a barrier between arterial and nerve repair sites has not been reported previously. The aim of this study is to present the possible use of the vein graft for insulating a nerve repair site from an adjacent arterial anastomosis. Bilateral longitudinal incisions were created on 5 Sprague-Dawley rats. Bilateral nerve coaptations and femoral artery repairs were performed...
