Comparison of surgical techniques used for prevention of neuroma in order to make more clear the role of the epineurium. An experimental study.

Aim: Several studies have been conducted for the prevention of neuroma and recently published experimental studies include interventions on epineurium. The techniques which include interventions on epinerium were compared to reveal the role of epinurium in neuroma prevention.

Material E Methods: 55 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups.

The Effect of Minocycline on Fat Graft Survival and Apoptotic Pathway.

Variable absorption rate is one of the biggest problems of fat grafting and one of the most important causes of fat graft volume loss is apoptosis. Minocycline is a tetracycline derivative and besides its antibacterial capacity, it has been widely using for anti-apoptotic effects. This study was designed to investigate the effect of minocycline on fat graft survival and adipocyte apoptosis.

A new option for the reconstruction of orbital floor defects with heterologous cortical bone.

Background: The orbital floor is one of the most frequently injured areas of the maxillofacial skeleton during facial trauma. A retrospective analysis of patients who have undergone treatment of orbital floor fractures with heterologous cortical bone is presented.

Methods: This retrospective study was carried out with 21 patients over a period of 4 years between 2010 and 2014.

A Social Evaluation of Perception on Body Contouring Surgery by Turkish Male Aesthetic Surgery Patients.

Although aesthetic procedures are known to have a higher impact on women, men are becoming more inclined toward such procedures since the last decade. To determine the reason behind the increase in demand for male aesthetic procedures and to learn about the expectations and inquietude related to body contouring surgery, a prospective questionnaire study was conducted on 200 Turkish males from January 1, 2011-May 31, 2012. Demographic information, previous aesthetic procedures and thoughts on body contouring procedures with given reasons were questioned.

Bladder wall hamartoma: an unusual cause of urinary urgency and frequency.

We present a case of a 51-year-old woman with urinary urgency, frequency, and lower abdominal pain; she was found to have an anterior vaginal wall mass on examination. Ultrasound and computerized tomography revealed a complex solid cystic mass. Transvaginal partial cystectomy was performed; histologic examination revealed hamartoma of the urinary bladder.

The Effect of Microneedle Thickness on Pain During Minimally Invasive Facial Procedures: A Clinical Study.

Background: Minimally invasive procedures are becoming increasingly popular because they require minimal downtime and are effective for achieving a more youthful appearance. The choice of needle for minimally invasive procedures can be a major factor in the patient's comfort level, which in turn affects the physician's comfort level.

Objectives: In this comparative study, the authors assessed levels of pain and bruising after participants were injected with 30-gauge or 33-gauge (G) microneedles, which are commonly used for minimally invasive injection procedures.

Accuracy of routine nontargeted CT without colonography technique for the detection of large colorectal polyps and cancer.

Background: To assess the accuracy of routine contrast-enhanced computed tomography for the detection of large colorectal polyps and cancer.

Methods: The study group consisted of 100 patients who underwent abdominal computed tomography and optical colonoscopy evaluation before any treatment or intervention. Invasive colorectal carcinoma and large polyps (>or=10mm) were found at colonoscopy in 29 and 16 patients, respectively.
