I read the article of Wang et al. [1] entitled “Topical negative pressure improves autograft take by altering nutrient diffusion: A hypothesis” with great interest.

At the time the wound is sterile and wound granulation has been initiated, the wound can be secondary surgi...

Tessier III clefts represent one of the most difficult and challenging malformations of the face to repair. Ectropion caused by a Tessier III cleft may be secondary to a vertical loss of both the anterior and posterior lamellae of the lower eyelids.A composite Z plasty to treat recurrence of cicatricial ectropion of the lower eyelids in Tessier III cleft is described. This is not only a technic...

Such results, and hence the need for scar revision, can be avoided with careful planning and the use of appropriate surgical techniques. In this practical review, we describe several techniques that will improve functional and cosmetic outcomes. While Z-plasty and its variants are simple yet essential surgical p...

INTRODUCTION We compared the results of our computer simulation studies of Z-plasties of different design to those of earlier studies, such as laboratory studies in dogs. MATERIAL AND METHODS The contours of single Z-plasties of different designs on flat surfaces were transferred to finite element analytical software (ADINA version 8.7). RESULTS The lengthening effect was almost proportiona...

The current report describes a rare case of a pseudotumor in the left ventricle. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated a round, echodense, mobile mass attached to the posterior mitral leaflet and annulus.
