ANTITHROMBOTIC PROPHYLAXIS IN MICROSURGERY

2016

Background. The most common complication of microsurgical reconstruction is graft failure secondary to thrombosis. It is clear that thromboprophylaxis is helpful for a successful microsurgery. However, it's also obvious that thrombosis can't be avoided in cases of poor microsurgical technique. There is no consensus regarding the use of anticoagulation therapy during and after microsurgery. The authors compared two different antithrombotic prophylaxis protocols used in the past ten years, and analyzed the effectiveness and risks of different pharmacological protocols. Materials and methods. The authors performed a retrospective review of microsurgical patients operated between 2005-2014 by t…

Surgical repair of acute Achilles tendon rupture with an end-to-end tendon suture and tendon flap.

2015

Abstract Background Achilles tendon ruptures are becoming more common. Complications after open or minimally invasive surgery are: recurrent rupture (2–8%), wound breakdown, deep infections, granuloma, and fistulas. The authors expose their experience with a personal technique. Materials In 8 patients with acute rupture of Achilles tendon the surgery was performed at least 25 days after trauma. Clinical exam and MR demonstrated in all case a total lesion of tendon. After a posterolateral skin incision the tendon stumps were debrided and suture in end-to-end fashion. A tendon flap was harvested from the proximal part of the tendon, in order to protect and reinforce the suture itself. A plast…

Urethral Reconstruction in Anterolateral Thigh Flap Phalloplasty: A 93-Case Experience

2019

BACKGROUND: Urethral reconstruction in anterolateral thigh flap phalloplasty cannot always be accomplished with one flap, and the ideal technique has not been established yet. In this article, the authors' experience with urethral reconstruction in 93 anterolateral thigh flap phalloplasties is reported. METHODS: Ninety-three anterolateral thigh phalloplasties performed over 13 years at a single center were retrospectively reviewed to evaluate outcomes of the different urethral reconstruction techniques used: anterolateral thigh alone without urethral reconstruction (n = 7), tube-in-tube anterolateral thigh flap (n = 5), prelaminated anterolateral thigh flap with a skin graft (n = 8), antero…

Botulinum Toxin A for Oral Cavity Cancer Patients: In Microsurgical Patients BTX Injections in Major Salivary Glands Temporarily Reduce Salivary Prod…

2012

Abstract: In patients suffering from oral cavity cancer surgical treatment is complex because it is necessary to remove carcinoma and lymph node metastasis (through a radical unilateral or bilateral neck dissection) and to reconstruct the affected area by means of free flaps. The saliva stagnation in the post-operative period is a risk factor with regard to local complications. Minor complications related to saliva stagnation (such as tissue maceration and wound dehiscence) could become major complications compromising the surgery or the reconstructive outcome. In fact the formation of oro-cutaneous fistula may cause infection, failure of the free flap, or the patient’s death with carotid b…

Cell Mediated Immune System Hyperactivation and Complications in Surgery. Is There a Correlation?

2010

Introduction: The role of the immune system in wound healing is multifaceted and cell-to-cell interactions may affect healing in several ways, many of which are probably still unknown. The case of a 19-year-old girl who, after multiple postsurgical complications, was found to have a transient immune system hyperactivation is reported. Materials and Methods: A 19-years-old woman with a breast asymmetry, previously treated with breast augmentation and contralateral reduction mammaplasty, had her implant removed and she came to our attention seeking autologous reconstruction. A free DIEP flap was performed and, again, wound breakdown and liponecrosis ensued at both the donor and recipient site…

Plastica in mare: biodiversità della plastisfera

2021

La plastica costituisce la componente più abbondante dei rifiuti in ambiente marino. Le plastiche in mare sono colonizzate da biofilm microbici, denominati plastisfera, che possono comprendere patogeni, specie algali tossiche e invasive e, potenzialmente, organismi in grado di biodeteriorare e degradare le plastiche (Zettler et al. 2013). Lo scopo di questo lavoro è studiare e confrontare le comunità microbiche che colonizzano plastiche biodegradabili e non biodegradabili in ambiente marino. Un esperimento di esposizione di film plastici in ambiente marino portuale è stato allestito per studiare la diversità della plastisfera di alcune plastiche biodegradabili (Mater Bi e PLA-acido polilatt…
