Perineural scarring is a major cause of recurrent symptoms after anterior subcutaneous transposition secured with a fascial sling. Use of a vascularized adipose flap to secure the anteriorly transposed ulnar nerve can help reduce nerve adherence and may enhance nerve recovery. In the study reported here, we retrospectively reviewed the long-term outcomes of ulnar nerve anterior subcutaneous tra...

BACKGROUND There are several options for closure of a given surgical defect after tumor extirpation is confirmed. Flap reconstruction is one of these options. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to introduce the three basic types of flap movement: advancement, rotation, and transposition. METHODS Five similar defects located on the nasal sidewall were repaired, each using a different f...

Incomplete unilateral cleft lips show a wide range of deformities, ranging from microform to near-complete clefts. Because there are different amounts and qualities of tissue present on the cleft and non-cleft sides, surgical approaches should make distinctions based on the remnant tissue. A new procedure using an upper triangular flap that combines characteristics of both rotation advancement ...

OBJECTIVE The management of lower eyelid reconstruction has a variety of treatment strategies with varying success depending on the patient. We tried to apply the most suitable reconstruction techniques for this particular case. METHODS We report a case of a 99-year-old woman, with a vision loss of 70% in the left eye and 40% in the right eye, who underwent basal cell carcinoma resection of t...

Abstract Objective Although most cases with spina bifida cystica could be closed by primary skin closure or without undermining its edges, about 25% of patients have large defects not amenable for these simple methods. We conducted this study to review our techniques in closing defects. Methods retrospectively reviewed the data consecutive 21 diagnosed setting. According surface area defect, ap...

BACKGROUND A variety of muscle flaps have been described to treat complex groin wounds associated with infected and/or exposed femoral vessels or vascular grafts and persistent lymphatic leaks, and for prophylaxis against wound breakdown following inguinal lymphadenectomy. The sartorius muscle flap has several advantages over other muscle flaps: it is immediately adjacent to the groin, it is ea...

Maxillary canine premolar transposition is the most frequently reported transposition type, which many orthodontists face. Although correcting the transposed tooth order is not advised after the eruption of the permanent tooth, several articles published in the last decade demonstrated nonextraction treatment of transposition using fixed mechanics. This article describes the nonextraction treat...

BACKGROUND Extended Soft tissue defect of leg including middle and distal parts always has been a challenge for many plastic surgeons and also a frustrated problem for patients and families. To introduce the use of the soleus muscle and reverse sural flaps as synchronous surgical treatment alternative of the leg bone exposure with large soft tissue defect, this study was conducted. METHODS T...

CASE REPORT A 3-year-old male neutered Domestic Shorthair cat was evaluated for a skin mass of approximately 2 × 3 cm arising from the right dorsolateral aspect of the tail at the junction between the proximal and middle one-thirds of the tail length. Incisional biopsy sample was consistent with granulomatous inflammation. The granuloma was surgically excised with 5 mm margins of normal skin. T...
