ADVANCEMENT CHEEK FLAP FOR A SINGLE STAGE RECONSTRUCTION OF POST-ONCOLOGICAL NASAL SIDEWALL LARGE DEFECTS 

2013

Objective: Reconstruction of soft tissue nasal sidewall loss has an important influence on the appearance of the nose. Numerous techniques are described in the literature but a primary reconstruction with a final good result is not often possible. The authors present an advancement cheek flap for a single-stage reconstruction of post-oncological nasal sidewall large defects. Methods: Between January 2009 and July 2012, sixteen patients with age ranged between 54 and 74 years underwent excision of skin tumors of the nasal sidewall and immediate reconstruction with an advancement cheek flap nourished by perforators from the facial branch of the superficial temporal artery. The defects size ra…

Porcine Model for Internal Mammary Vessels Harvesting

2018

Recipient vessels selection is crucial for successful microsurgical breast reconstruction. The internal mammary vessels (IMVs) have gained great popularity, and they are often selected as first choice recipient vessels. The IMVs can be exposed for microvascular anastomosis through a rib-removing (trans-costal) or a rib-sparing (intercostal) approach.1–3 Because the vessels are located between the rib cage and the parietal pleura, adequate training is needed to avoid and eventually manage bleedings and pleural perforation. This training is better performed in a nonhuman model. Our aim was to investigate the pig as a surgical model for IMVs harvesting to be used in training.

Neurophysiological and ultrasonographic exams in nerve patologies: diagnostic work-up and monitoring.

2013

Introduzione: le patologie dei nervi sono causa di disabilità nella popolazione giovane adulta affetta e motivo di contenzioso medico-legale per molti chirurghi. Obiettivi: valutare la rilevanza dell’ecografia del nervo e dell’esame neurofisiologico nella valutazione prechirurgica e nel follow-up post-chirurgico ai fini diagnostici, prognostici e di adeguata programmazione terapeutica. Materiali e Metodi: pazienti con patologia da intrappolamento o post-traumatica sono stati sottoposti a valutazione clinica, neurofisiologica ed ecografica. Risultati: abbiamo studiato 50 neuropatie (25M, 25F): 23 nervi mediani, 1 interosseo anteriore, 14 nervi ulnari, 3 plessi brachiale, 2 interossei posteri…

The chimeric ALT-vastus lateralis free flap in reconstruction of advanced BRONJ of the maxilla.

2015

Introduction Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a dangerous complication of bisphosphonates, a class of pharmaceutical agents used in numerous bone disor- ders. No gold standard therapy exists, but recent literature suggests that, in advanced stages, the best results are achieved with aggressive debridement. In this paper, we report our experience of treatment of stage 3 BRONJ of the maxilla with extensive surgical debridement and reconstruction with a chimeric ALT-Vastus lateralis flap. Methods Five selected patients with stage 3 BRONJ underwent partial maxillectomy with dis- ease-free margins followed by immediate reconstruction with a chimeric ALT-Vastus lateralis…

Validity of shape memory NiTi colon ring BioDynamix ColonRingTM (or NiTi CAR 27TM) to prevent anastomotic colorectal strictures. Preliminary results

2012

PURPOSE: Anastomotic strictures occur in 3-30% of colorectal anastomosis and one of the main causes may be a reaction to the presence of the metal staples used for suturing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a compression anastomosis ring using the memory shaped device in initial, i.e. nickel-titanium alloy (NiTi) for the prevention of colorectal anastomotic strictures. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A compression anastomosis ring device (NiTi CAR 27) was used to perform compression anastomosis in 20 patients underwent left hemicolectomy and anterior resection of the rectum for carcinoma. An endoscopic check of the anastomosis was carried out at one month and at six months after …
