Tongues of skin and subcutaneous tissue, sometimes including muscle, cut away from the underlying parts but often still attached at one end. They retain their own microvasculature which is also transferred to the new site. They are often used in plastic surgery for filling a defect in a neighboring region.
A mass of tissue that has been cut away from its surrounding areas to be used in TISSUE TRANSPLANTATION.
Endonucleases that remove 5' DNA sequences from a DNA structure called a DNA flap. The DNA flap structure occurs in double-stranded DNA containing a single-stranded break where the 5' portion of the downstream strand is too long and overlaps the 3' end of the upstream strand. Flap endonucleases cleave the downstream strand of the overlap flap structure precisely after the first base-paired nucleotide, creating a ligatable nick.
Procedures used to reconstruct, restore, or improve defective, damaged, or missing structures.
A long flat muscle that extends along the whole length of both sides of the abdomen. It flexes the vertebral column, particularly the lumbar portion; it also tenses the anterior abdominal wall and assists in compressing the abdominal contents. It is frequently the site of hematomas. In reconstructive surgery it is often used for the creation of myocutaneous flaps. (From Gray's Anatomy, 30th American ed, p491)
Surgical reconstruction of the breast including both augmentation and reduction.
Operative procedures performed on the SKIN.
A surgical procedure to correct MYOPIA by CORNEAL STROMA subtraction. It involves the use of a microkeratome to make a lamellar dissection of the CORNEA creating a flap with intact CORNEAL EPITHELIUM. After the flap is lifted, the underlying midstroma is reshaped with an EXCIMER LASER and the flap is returned to its original position.
Inferior and external epigastric arteries arise from external iliac; superficial from femoral; superior from internal thoracic. They supply the abdominal muscles, diaphragm, iliac region, and groin. The inferior epigastric artery is used in coronary artery bypass grafting and myocardial revascularization.
Injuries of tissue other than bone. The concept is usually general and does not customarily refer to internal organs or viscera. It is meaningful with reference to regions or organs where soft tissue (muscle, fat, skin) should be differentiated from bones or bone tissue, as "soft tissue injuries of the hand".
The grafting of skin in humans or animals from one site to another to replace a lost portion of the body surface skin.

Return of lymphatic function after flap transfer for acute lymphedema. (1/1254)

OBJECTIVE: The goals of this work were to develop animal models of lymphedema and tissue flap transfer, and to observe physiologic changes in lymphatic function that occur in these models over time, both systemically with lymphoscintigraphy (LS) and locally using fluorescence microlymphangiography (FM). SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Although lymphedema has been managed by a combination of medical and surgical approaches, no effective long-term cure exists. Surgical attempts aimed at reconnecting impaired lymphatic channels or bypassing obstructed areas have failed. METHODS: The tails of rats (A groups) and mice (B groups) were used because of their different features. Lymphedema was created by ligation of the lymphatics at the tail base and quantified by diameter measurements there. In the experimental group, rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap was transferred across the ligation. In addition to the ligation (A1 and B1) and ligation + flap (A2 and B2) groups, three control groups were included: sham flap with ligation (B4), sham flap alone (B5), and normal (A3 and B3) animals. Observations were made at weekly time points for lymphatic function and continuity. RESULTS: Lymphedema was successfully created in the mouse ligation groups (B1 and B4) and sustained for the entire length of observation (up to 14 weeks). Lymphatic continuity was restored in those animals with transferred flaps across the ligation site (A2 and B2), as seen both by LS and FM. Sham flaps did not visibly affect lymphatic function nor did they cause any visible swelling in the tail. CONCLUSIONS: Acute lymphedema developing after ligation of tail lymphatics in mice can be prevented by myocutaneous flap transfer. Restored lymphatic continuity and function were demonstrable using lymphoscintigraphy and fluorescence microlymphangiography.  (+info)

Modified Bankart procedure for recurrent anterior dislocation and subluxation of the shoulder in athletes. (2/1254)

Thirty-four athletes (34 shoulders) with recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability were treated with a modified Bankart procedure, using a T-shaped capsular incision in the anterior capsule. The inferior flap was advanced medially and/or superiorly and rigidly fixed at the point of the Bankart lesion by a small cancellous screw and a spike-washer. The superior flap was advanced inferiority and sutured over the inferior flap. Twenty-five athletes (median age: 22) were evaluated over a mean period of follow-up of 65 months. The clinical results were graded, according to Rowe, as 22 (88%) excellent, 3 (12%) good, and none as fair or poor. The mean postoperative range of movement was 92 degrees of external rotation in 90 degrees of abduction. Elevation and internal rotation was symmetrical with the opposite side. Twenty-four patients returned to active sport, 22 at their previous level. This modified Bankart procedure is an effective treatment for athletes with recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability.  (+info)

Breast reconstruction after mastectomy. (3/1254)

This activity is designed for primary care physicians. GOAL: To appreciate the significant advances and current techniques in breast reconstruction after mastectomy and realize the positive physical and emotional benefits to the patient. OBJECTIVES: 1. Understand basic and anatomic principles of breast reconstruction. 2. Discuss the options for breast reconstruction: a) immediate versus delayed; b) autologous tissue versus implant; and c) stages of reconstruction and ancillary procedures. 3. Provide a comprehensive overview of the risks and benefits of, as well as the alternatives to, each approach so primary care physicians can counsel patients effectively.  (+info)

Soft tissue cover for the exposed knee prosthesis. (4/1254)

Postoperative magnetic resonance imaging after acoustic neuroma surgery: influence of packing materials in the drilled internal auditory canal on assessment of residual tumor. (5/1254)

Serial magnetic resonance (MR) images taken after acoustic neuroma surgery were analyzed to evaluate the pattern and timing of postoperative contrast enhancement in 22 patients who underwent acoustic neuroma removal via the suboccipital transmeatal approach. The opened internal auditory canal (IAC) was covered with a muscle piece in nine patients and with fibrin glue in 13. A total of 56 MR imaging examinations were obtained between days 1 and 930 after surgery. MR imaging showed linear enhancement at the IAC within the first 2 days after surgery, and revealed nodular enhancement on day 3 or later in patients with a muscle piece. MR imaging tended to show linear enhancement at the IAC, irrespective of the timing of the examination in the patients with fibrin glue. Postoperative MR imaging on day 3 or later showed the incidence of nodular enhancement in patients with muscle was significantly higher than in patients with fibrin glue. The results illustrate the difficulty in differentiating nodular enhancement on a muscle piece from tumor by a single postoperative MR imaging study. Therefore, fibrin glue is generally advocated as a packing material of the IAC because it rarely shows masslike enhancement on postoperative MR imaging. When a muscle piece is used in patients at high risk for postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leaks, MR imaging should be obtained within the first 2 days after surgery, since benign enhancement of muscle will not occur and obscure the precise extent of tumor resection.  (+info)

Mechanical properties of heel pads reconstructed with flaps. (6/1254)

We compared the mechanical properties of normal and reconstructed heel pads in seven patients. Four had latissimus dorsi flaps and one each an anterior thigh flap, a local dorsalis pedis flap and a sural arterial flap. The thickness of the heel pad was measured under serial incremental loads of 0.5 kg to a maximum of 3 kg and then relaxed sequentially. The load-displacement curve of the heel pad during a loading-unloading cycle was plotted and from this the unloaded heel-pad thickness (UHPT), compressibility index (CI), elastic modulus (Ep), and energy dissipation ratio (EDR) were calculated. The EDR was significantly increased in the reconstructed heels (53.7 +/- 18% v 23.4 +/- 6.5%, p = 0.003) indicating that in them more energy is dissipated as heat. Insufficient functional capacity in the reconstructed heel pad can lead to the development of shock-induced discomfort and ulceration.  (+info)

Labial fat pad grafts (modified Martius graft) in complex perianal fistulas. (7/1254)

Complex perianal fistulas may at times be very difficult to treat. New vascularised tissue can reach the perineum from leg muscles and the omentum. A less well-known source is the labial fat tissue (modified Martius graft) which has a robust posterolateral pedicle and which can be useful as an adjunctive technique for high anterior anal and rectovaginal fistulas. Between November 1993 and July 1997, eight women (age range 18-55 years) underwent modified Martius grafting, six of the eight having a rectovaginal fistula and two a high complex (suprasphincteric) perianal fistula. Anorectal advancement flaps were performed in five patients and three had a transperineal approach with simultaneous anterior sphincter repair because of concurrent anal incontinence. All patients had a defunctioning stoma. The fistula healed in six of the eight patients (75%) and recurred in two patients. The stoma has been closed in five of the eight patients (one patient's fistula has healed but her stoma cannot be closed because of anal incontinence). This is a useful technique when confronted with a difficult anterior fistula in women.  (+info)

Three ventriculoplasty techniques applied to three left-ventricular pseudoaneurysms in the same patient. (8/1254)

A 59-year-old male patient underwent surgery for triple-vessel coronary artery disease and left-ventricular aneurysm in 1994. Four months after coronary artery bypass grafting and classical left-ventricular aneurysmectomy (with Teflon felt strips), a left-ventricular pseudoaneurysm developed due to infection, and this was treated surgically with an autologous glutaraldehyde-treated pericardium patch over which an omental pedicle graft was placed. Two months later, under emergent conditions, re-repair was performed with a diaphragmatic pericardial pedicle graft due to pseudoaneurysm reformation and rupture. A 3rd repair was required in a 3rd episode 8 months later. Sternocostal resection enabled implantation of the left pectoralis major muscle into the ventricular defect. Six months after the last surgical intervention, the patient died of cerebral malignancy. Pseudoaneurysm reformation, however, had not been observed. To our knowledge, our case is the 1st reported in the literature in which there have been 3 or more different operative techniques applied to 3 or more distinct episodes of pseudoaneurysm formation secondary to post-aneurysmectomy infection. We propose that pectoral muscle flaps be strongly considered as a material for re-repair of left-ventricular aneurysms.  (+info)

Soft tissue injuries can cause pain, swelling, bruising, and limited mobility, and can impact an individual's ability to perform daily activities. Treatment for soft tissue injuries may include rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), as well as physical therapy, medication, or surgery, depending on the severity of the injury.

Some common examples of soft tissue injuries include:

* Sprains: stretching or tearing of ligaments, which connect bones to other bones and provide stability to joints.
* Strains: stretching or tearing of muscles or tendons, which connect muscles to bones.
* Contusions: bruises that occur when blood collects in soft tissues as a result of trauma.
* Tendinitis: inflammation of tendons, which connect muscles to bones.
* Bursitis: inflammation of bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints and reduce friction between tendons and bones.
* Fasciitis: inflammation of the fascia, a thin layer of tissue that surrounds muscles and other organs.

Surgical wound dehiscence is a condition where the incision or wound made during a surgical procedure fails to heal properly and starts to separate, leading to an open wound. This complication can occur due to various factors, such as poor wound care, infection, or excessive tension on the wound edges.

Types of Surgical Wound Dehiscence

There are several types of surgical wound dehiscence, including:

1. Superficial dehiscence: This type of dehiscence occurs when the skin over the incision starts to separate but does not extend into the deeper tissue layers.
2. Deep dehiscence: This type of dehiscence occurs when the incision starts to separate into the deeper tissue layers, such as muscles or organs.
3. Full-thickness dehiscence: This type of dehiscence occurs when the entire thickness of the skin and underlying tissues separates along the incision line.

Causes of Surgical Wound Dehiscence

Surgical wound dehiscence can occur due to a variety of factors, including:

1. Poor wound care: Failure to properly clean and dress the wound can lead to infection and delay healing.
2. Infection: Bacterial or fungal infections can cause the wound edges to separate.
3. Excessive tension on the wound edges: This can occur due to improper closure techniques or excessive tightening of sutures or staples.
4. Poor surgical technique: Improper surgical techniques can lead to inadequate tissue approximation and delayed healing.
5. Patient factors: Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes or poor circulation, can impair the body's ability to heal wounds.

Symptoms of Surgical Wound Dehiscence

The symptoms of surgical wound dehiscence may include:

1. Redness and swelling around the incision site
2. Increased pain or discomfort at the incision site
3. Discharge or fluid leaking from the incision site
4. Bad smell or foul odor from the incision site
5. Increased heart rate or fever
6. Reduced mobility or stiffness in the affected area

Treatment of Surgical Wound Dehiscence

The treatment of surgical wound dehiscence depends on the severity and underlying cause of the condition. Treatment options may include:

1. Antibiotics: To treat any underlying infections.
2. Dressing changes: To promote healing and prevent infection.
3. Debridement: Removal of dead tissue or debris from the wound site to promote healing.
4. Surgical revision: In some cases, the wound may need to be reclosed or revisited to correct any defects in the initial closure.
5. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy: To promote wound healing and reduce the risk of infection.
6. Surgical mesh: To reinforce the wound edges and prevent further separation.
7. Skin grafting: To cover the exposed tissue and promote healing.

Prevention of Surgical Wound Dehiscence

Preventing surgical wound dehiscence is crucial to ensure a successful outcome. Here are some measures that can be taken to prevent this condition:

1. Proper wound closure: The incision should be closed carefully and securely to prevent any gaping or separation.
2. Appropriate dressing: The wound should be covered with an appropriate dressing to promote healing and prevent infection.
3. Good surgical technique: The surgeon should use proper surgical techniques to minimize tissue trauma and promote healing.
4. Proper postoperative care: Patients should receive proper postoperative care, including monitoring of vital signs and wound status.
5. Early recognition and treatment: Any signs of dehiscence should be recognized early and treated promptly to prevent further complications.

Conclusion

Surgical wound dehiscence is a serious complication that can occur after surgery, resulting in unstable or gaping wounds. Prompt recognition and treatment are essential to prevent further complications and promote healing. Proper wound closure, appropriate dressing, good surgical technique, proper postoperative care, and early recognition and treatment can help prevent surgical wound dehiscence. By taking these measures, patients can achieve a successful outcome and avoid potential complications.

1. Strains and sprains: These are common injuries that occur when the muscles or ligaments in the foot are stretched or torn. They can be caused by overuse or sudden movement.
2. Fractures: A fracture is a break in a bone. In the foot, fractures can occur in any of the five long bones (metatarsals) or the heel bone (calcaneus).
3. Plantar fasciitis: This is a common condition that affects the plantar fascia, a band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. It can cause pain and stiffness in the heel and bottom of the foot.
4. Achilles tendinitis: This is an inflammation of the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. It can cause pain and stiffness in the back of the ankle.
5. Bunions and hammertoes: These are deformities that can occur when the bones in the foot are not properly aligned. They can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness in the foot.
6. Infections: Foot injuries can increase the risk of developing an infection, especially if they become exposed to bacteria or other microorganisms. Signs of an infection may include redness, swelling, warmth, and pain.
7. Ulcers: These are open sores that can develop on the skin of the foot, often as a result of diabetes or poor circulation. They can be difficult to heal and can lead to further complications if left untreated.

Treatment for foot injuries will depend on the severity of the injury and may include rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) as well as physical therapy exercises to improve strength and flexibility. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair damaged tissues or realign bones.

--------------------------

1. Pain: Pain is the most common symptom of finger injuries, ranging from mild to severe.
2. Swelling: Swelling in the affected finger or fingers can occur due to inflammation or bruising.
3. Limited Mobility: Finger injuries can limit mobility and make it difficult to move the fingers or perform everyday activities.
4. Deformity: In severe cases, finger injuries can cause deformities such as bone misalignment or muscle imbalance.
5. Numbness or Tingling: Finger injuries can cause numbness or tingling sensations in the affected fingers.

Treatment of Finger Injuries
-------------------------

1. Rest: Resting the injured finger and avoiding activities that exacerbate the injury is essential for recovery.
2. Ice: Applying ice to the affected area can reduce swelling and relieve pain.
3. Compression: Wrapping the injured finger with a bandage or compression glove can help reduce swelling and stabilize the joints.
4. Elevation: Elevating the injured hand above heart level can reduce swelling and promote healing.
5. Medications: Over-the-counter pain medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can relieve pain and reduce inflammation.
6. Immobilization: Immobilizing the injured finger with a splint or cast can help promote healing and prevent further injury.
7. Physical Therapy: Gentle exercises and stretches can help improve mobility and strength in the affected finger.
8. Surgery: In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to repair damaged tissues or realign bones.

Prevention of Finger Injuries
-----------------------------

1. Warm-up Exercises: Performing warm-up exercises before engaging in physical activities can help prevent finger injuries by increasing blood flow and flexibility.
2. Proper Equipment: Using proper equipment such as gloves or protective gear can help prevent finger injuries, especially in sports or high-risk activities.
3. Careful Lifting: Lifting objects with proper technique and using the legs instead of the fingers can help prevent strains and sprains.
4. Finger Stretching: Regular stretching exercises can help improve flexibility and reduce the risk of finger injuries.
5. Strengthening Exercises: Strengthening the muscles in the hand and fingers through exercises such as grip strengthening can help prevent injuries.
