Emergency toe-to-hand transfer for post-traumatic finger reconstruction: A multicenter case series
2019
Abstract Background The aim of this paper was to evaluate the outcomes of a homogenous series of emergency with a toe-to-hand transfer reconstructions with a different timing: immediate (same surgical step with the debridement), primary (in the first 24 h), early (24–72 h after the debridement) or delayed (72 h-7 days). Materials and methods Between 2001 and 2011, 31 patients received an immediate reconstruction with a toe-to-hand transfer. Data on indications, timing, type of surgery, complications and outcomes (sensory and motor recovery, patient satisfaction) were extrapolated and recorded. Results Most of the procedures in our series (71%) were performed in the first 24 h. Survival rate…
Intratissular expansion–mediated, serial fat grafting: A step-by-step working algorithm to achieve 3D biological harmony in autologous breast reconst…
2016
Background Breast reconstruction involves the use of autologous tissues or implants. Occasionally, microsurgical reconstruction is not an option because of insufficient donor tissues. Fat grafting has become increasingly popular in breast surgery. The challenge with this technique is how to reconstruct a stable and living “scaffold” that resembles a breast. Methods Breast reconstruction (n = 7) was performed using intratissular expansion with serial deflation–lipofilling sessions. Mean age of the patients was 41 years (22–53). The expander generated a vascularized capsule at 8 weeks, which demarcated a recipient site between the skin and the capsule itself, and functioned as a vascular sour…
Neurosurgical resident training in Czech Republic
2018
Introduction: Resident training is essential to be able and offer high-quality medical care. Neurosurgical training in its traditional form is currently challenged by law-enforced working hour restrictions and general re-structuring within Europe. We aimed to evaluate the current situation of resident training in the Czech Republic. Methods: An electronic survey was sent to European neurosurgical trainees between 06/2014 and 03/2015. The responses of Czech trainees were compared to those of trainees from other European countries. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the effect size of the relationship between a trainee being from Czech Republic and the outcomes (e.g. satisfaction…
Urology Residency Training in Italy: Results of the First National Survey
2018
Background: Numerous surveys have been performed to determine the competence and the confidence of residents. However, there is no data available on the condition of Italian residents in urology. Objective: To investigate the status of training among Italian residents in urology regarding scientific activity and surgical exposure. Design, setting, and participants: A web-based survey that included 445 residents from all of the 25 Italian Residency Programmes was conducted between September 2015 and November 2015. Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: The main outcomes were represented by scientific activity, involvement in surgical procedures, and overall satisfaction. Results and …
