Parallel Hatching: A New Method of Hand Deformity Surgery in Epidermolysis Bullosa.

Purpose: In dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (EB), progressive blistering, scarring, and fusing of digits lead to mitten-hand and pseudosyndactyly in early childhood, inflicting psychosocial stress and low self-esteem in EB patients. Treatment is a challenge in the hand surgery field because of the recurring nature of this inherited disease. We aim to evaluate the results of our surgery method for the hand deformities in EB patients.

Comparison of the Results of Phalloplasty Using Radial Free Forearm Flap and Anterolateral Thigh in Iran from 2014 to 2019.

 Due to the worldwide growing number of transgender individuals openly identifying themselves, including in Iran, these individuals need more attention and support. This study compares patient satisfaction and quality of life after female-to-male gender confirmation surgery using an anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap and radial forearm free flap (RFFF).  This study included 49 patients who underwent phalloplasty from 2014 to 2019 using two different methods.

Comparison of Functionality Level, Disability and Quality of Life in Subjects with Peripheral Nerve Repair in the Upper Extremity.

Background: Peripheral nerve damage is a very important factor in patients' quality of life and functionality for various reasons. We aimed to compare the functionality level, disability and quality of life in subjects with peripheral nerve repair in the upper extremity.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on patients with nerve injuries in 2019.

Aesthetic and Functional Outcomes of Open Carpal Tunnel Release and Thread Carpal Tunnel Release: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

 Surgical techniques for carpal tunnel release (CTR) have gradually become less invasive. No substantial evidence supports replacing the open carpal tunnel release (OCTR) with novel minimally invasive approaches. Thread carpal tunnel release (TCTR) is a new minimally invasive CTR method associated with promising results.

Examining the impact of the device used for contouring in saving time and increasing the ease of contouring patients in radiotherapy treatment.

Introduction/background: This study was designed to investigate the amount of time saved and the degree of contour difficulty between the two methods of contouring, mouse/keyboard, versus touch screen/stylus in radiotherapy.

Methods: Each of 94 patients consisting of 26 breast cancer cases, 24 lymph nodes cases, 25 rectal cancer cases, and 19 heart cases has been contoured twice. One with a mouse/keyboard, and the next one with the touch screen/stylus.

Successful Microsurgical Replantation of Amputated Penis: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

This study aims to explain microscopic replantation in a rare case of a wholly amputated penis after prolonged ischemia. A 36-year-old patient underwent microscopic replantation of the penis after 9 hours. The penis was completely amputated due to self-mutilation.

Evaluation of Electrical Burn Injuries in Iran: A 7-Year Retrospective Study.

Electrical burn injuries can cause devastating and debilitating morbidities and impairments for patients. This cross-sectional descriptive study was performed on electrical burn patients hospitalized from 2014 to 2019 to evaluate electrical burn injuries' epidemiology and characteristics. A total number of 726 patients with the mean age of 31.

Pain Relieving Effect of Intraoperative Chemical Splanchnicectomy of Celiac Ganglions in Patients with Resectable Pancreatic or Gastric Masses: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Background: Trials of intraoperative chemical splanchnicectomy during resection of pancreatic and gastric masses resulted in significant difference in a patient's postoperative pain. This study aims to determine if splanchnicectomy by alcohol neurolysis can relieve postoperative pain after gastrectomy and Whipple surgery. The study explores differences in outcomes at first four months after surgery.

A Sporadic Desmoid Tumor: an Exceptional Pancreatic Cystic-Solid Mass.

Desmoid tumors are locally aggressive and non-metastatic neoplasms with a high rate of recurrence. Desmoid tumors of the pancreas are, however, very rare, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. This paper reports an anecdotal case of a diffuse pancreatic desmoid tumor with the involvement of the pancreatic head, body, and-partially-tail.

Whipple procedure: a review of a 7-year clinical experience in a referral center for hepatobiliary and pancreas diseases.

Background: Pancreatic cancer is generally found in the older population Pancreaticoduodenectomy seems to be the only way in resolving these resectable tumors. Allen. O Whipple was the first to describe pancreaticoduodenectomy in 1935 as a modified procedure.

Proper management for morbid iatrogenic retroperitoneal barium insufflation.

A barium enema is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure commonly used for colon and rectum problems. Rectal perforation with extensive intra- and/or extraperitoneal spillage of barium is a devastating complication of a barium enema that leads to a significant increase in patient mortality. Due to the low number of reported cases in recent scientific literature and the lack of experience with the management of these cases, we would like to present our treatment approach to a rare case of retroperitoneal contamination with barium, followed by its intraperitoneal involvement during a diagnostic barium enema.
