Complications Associated with Recession Coverage Procedures

2018

Various surgical techniques have been proposed to obtain predictable and esthetic root coverage. In general, these techniques may include the use of pedicle soft tissue grafts, free soft tissue grafts, and soft tissue graft substitutes. Overall, these surgical procedures have been shown to be safe, effective, and well-tolerated by the patients. However, as with any surgical procedure, complications and treatment failures can occur. Therefore, the clinician should have a thorough knowledge of potential complications associated with these procedures and strategies for their prevention and management. This chapter provides an overview of the most common complications and atypical healing respo…

Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation for Acquired Aplastic Anemia: Better Outcome with Bone Marrow as Compared to Peripheral Blood in HLA-Matched Sib…

2009

Abstract Abstract 876 Background: Transplantation of bone marrow (BM) from a HLA-matched sibling donor is an effective treatment for severe aplastic anemia (AA) with long-term survival in excess of 80%. In the recent years there were two trends in allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) for AA: (1) increasing proportion of transplants performed from matched unrelated donors (MUD) and (2) increasing proportion of transplants using peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBSC) as stem cell source instead of BM. A similar switch to PBSC over BM grafts is reported in leukemia transplants. PBSC grafts for leukemia are associated with higher rates of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). This …

The “Jacobsen Flap” for the Treatment of Stage III–IV Dupuytren’s Disease at Little Finger: Our Review of 123 Cases

2011

For selective fasciectomy in patients with Dupuytren’s disease at Tubiana Stage I–II, midline longitudinal incisions with serial Z-plasties, Bruner zigzag incisions, and V-Y plasties over the palm and most severely affected fingers are accepted methods. Advantages of these approaches are good intraoperative visualization of the fibrous tissue, rapid dissection, minor tissue trauma, and usually the possibility of a tension-free wound closure (Brenner and Rayan 2003). In cases of Dupuytren’s disease at Stage III and IV, with severe digital flexion, inelastic overlying skin, and expected skin shortage after contracture release, these incisions may sometimes be useful, but in our experience, qu…

Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for T Cell Lymphomas: Improved Results Overtime

2019

INTRODUCTION: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) is the only curative strategy for relapsed/refractory T cell lymphoma (T-NHL). In the past ten years, there have been several improvements in conditioning regimens and graft versus host disease prophylaxis (GVHD), which have contributed to lower transplant-related mortality (TRM). Also, selective and low toxicity therapies, might improve response quality in some T-NHL Recently, haploidentical stem cell transplantation (Haplo) with post-transplant cyclophosphamide is a new option for those patients who do not have an HLA-identical sibling or a suitable unrelated donor, but also it has shortened the time for urgent cas…

Muscle versus Fasciocutaneous Flap in Lower Limb Reconstruction: Is There a Best Option?

2017

AbstractSoft tissue defects of the lower extremity that expose underlying bones, joints, and tendons pose challenging problems and generally require free tissue transfer for a successful reconstruction. Historically, muscle flaps were the gold standard choice for lower limb reconstruction. To obviate the unpredictable appearance and high donor-site morbidity of muscle flaps, fasciocutaneous flaps were introduced. Recently, perforator flaps, such as the anterolateral thigh flap, gained a leading role in the reconstructive scenario. There is growing evidence in the literature supporting that fasciocutaneous and perforator flaps are comparable to muscle flaps in terms of flap survival, postope…

Acellular dermal matrix in soft tissue reconstruction prior to bone grafting. A case report.

2010

When hard tissue augmentation is scheduled as a part of an oral rehabilitation, prior to the treatment, it is important to assess if the quality of the underlying gingiva at the recipient site can support the bone grafting procedure. The most frequent complication during autologous onlay grafts are wound dehiscences in the recipient site, so the integrity of soft tissues is a basic aspect of successful reconstructive and plastic surgical procedure. Connective tissue grafts can improve the quality and quantity of soft tissue in oral sites where a hard tissue reconstruction is going to take place. However, particularly when large grafts are harvested, the autogenous donor site can present sig…

Thrombopoietin Receptor Agonists for Severe Thrombocytopenia after Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation: Experience of a Multicenter Study from the G…

2018

Abstract Introduction Thrombocytopenia is a common complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). Underlying mechanisms are poorly known and usually multifactorial. Its treatment is not well defined, mostly based in platelet transfusion. Thus, is important to identify new strategies to manage this important post-SCT complication. Romiplostim and Eltrombopag are currently available thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs) that stimulate platelet production. Some studies with very small number of cases have reported their potential efficacy in the allo-SCT setting. For this reason, the aim of our study is to analyze the efficacy and safety of TPO-RAs for s…

TEVAR and periscope graft technique to treatment of huge aneurysm of aortic isthmus: Case report

2021

Introduction Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has revolutionized the treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysms. Innovative techniques as chimney and periscope grafts can improve the outcomes of procedure. Herein, we report a case in emergency of huge Thoracic aortic aneurism. Presentation of case An 86-year-old male with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, was referred to our hospital for chest pain. CT-angiography showed a huge aneurysm of aortic isthmus with signs of rupture. The patient was considered unfit for open surgery and an endovascular approach was chosen. This patient underwent endovascular repair with TEVAR, using the periscope graft technique to preserve patency in left s…
