Reconstruction of full thickness scalp defects after tumour excision in elderly patients: our experience with Integra dermal regeneration template.
2010
Summary Background Scalp reconstruction after wide tumor excision is particularly challenging. Free tissue transfers, local flaps, or skin grafts can be used but present some disadvantages especially with old patients with local advanced cancers, systemic diseases and in patients with a prior history of recurring scalp skin cancers in which the risk of burying a recurring tumor with a flap is likely. The Authors expose their early experience with Integra ® dermal regeneration template for scalp reconstruction after scalp tumor excision. Methods Eight patients with primary or secondary scalp tumor underwent a first surgical procedure under local anaesthesia for tumor removal and Integra ® po…
Surgical treatment for renal cell carcinoma
2010
Renal cell carcinoma is chemoresistent and radio-therapy so that surgical tumour excision of the tumor is the only potentially curative option, either as radical nephrectomy or as nephron sparing surgery. As a result of continuously improving radiological imaging modalities, renal tumours are nowadays detected incidentally at an asymptomatic stage in up to 75 %. The ten-year cancer-specific survival for organ-confined disease (T1, T2) after R0-excision is > 90 %. Moreover, locally extending renal tumours (T3) can be treated successfully with five-year survival rates of > 65 %. In case of tumours in a single kidney or synchronous bilateral tumours, good functional and oncological long-term r…
