Background and objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate both functionally and histologically the validity of the cyanoacrylate and fibrin glue for nerve anastomosing in rat sciatic nerve….
Introduction: The Medial Femoral Condyle Flap (MFC) is a cortico perisoteal flap used for recalcitrant non-unions and facial reconstruction. Evaluation of MFC modelling will allow more accurate reconstruction in head…
Objectives: Surgical and radiotherapy treatment for cancer of the oral cavity can result in dramatic aesthetic and functional sequelae partially avoidable by reconstructive techniques. Aim of this study is to…
Background and objectives: Microvascular free tissue transfer is the gold standard reconstructive method for midsize skull base defects when local and regional flaps have failed (or are not available) and…
Background and objectives: To reduce donor site morbidity after radial forearm free flap a novel technique of a local full-thickness skin graft (FTSG) is described. Methods: In a prospective study…
Objectives: Microsurgical free flaps are nowadays considered the gold standard for reconstruction of patients undergoing surgical treatment of advanced head and neck cancer. Our aim is to evaluate the safety…
Background: The fibula is the most commonly used flap for reconstruction of segmental mandibular defects. In a subset of patients the presence of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) can compromise adequate…
Department of Health in the United Kingdom has recently updated National Health Service Trusts across the country on implementation of cancer outcomes and service dataset. This applies to Head and…
Introduction: The colour of the flap is a very important component of clinical monitoring of free flaps. Poor colour memory, eye fatigue, colour blindness and viewing conditions can all affect…
Background and objective: Thrombosis of vascular anastomosis in the field of reconstructive microsurgery is a clinical problem of extraordinary importance for the devastating consequences for affected patients. Sildenafil has been…
