Training for microsurgery requires long-term education. Rats, rabbits, and pigs are frequently used as experimental animals in microsurgical studies. The care, preparation, and postoperative follow-up of such animals ...

We tested the hypothesis that the intrinsic vascular plexus of the motor nerve could support viability in a rat hindlimb muscle flap. In a preliminary study, we examined the course and vascularity of the sciatic nerve, the ...

Childhood burn accidents are still a problem all over the world. Besides the contractures and hypertrophic scar conditions, malignant transformation in the burn scar is one of the primary concerns later in adulthood. ...

Objectives: Clinically, the Z-plasty lengthening is the only method used in the upper extremity, whereas several different techniques such as the Vulpius and Baker are used in the lower extremity. In this study, the ...

Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is an unusual condition that typically occurs on the scalp and is characterized by the formation of ridges and furrows. These changes resemble the outer surface of the cerebrum. In this study a ...

Rhinorrhea after rhinoplasty is a rare but disturbing complication. During rhinoplasty, trauma to the septum with elongation of a fracture up to the cribriform plate may result in an osteomeningeal breach in the floor ...

AIm: Anterior plagiocephaly usually occurs with premature synostosis of the ipsilateral half of the coronal suture. The forehead is flattened on the affected side, with a backward and upward displacement of the affected ...

Axial pattern flaps are characterized by a single vascular pedicle that supplies the whole flap and carry the danger of flap loss. For this reason, monitoring and early identification of vascular perfusion is important ...

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the success of polymethylmethacrylate cranioplasty combined with various soft tissue coverage techniques in repairing full-thickness cranial defects, to compare our results with ...
