Postoperative Psychological Impact on Teenagers after Gynecomastia Correction.

Unlabelled: Gynecomastia is common among teenagers. Most published research focused on how surgery is effective in enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the breast. Limited information is already known about the psychosocial benefits of surgical interventions.

Modified Reconstruction Technique to Adapt Management of Severe Group IIB Tanzer Constricted Ear Deformity.

Unlabelled: Group IIB constricted ear is described as a deformity of helix, antihelix, and scapha (deficient upper third of ear). The length of the ear is markedly shortened, and the skin cover is insufficient to cover the cartilaginous framework after refashioning. The current study described certain modifications to the known autologous auricular reconstruction technique to adapt specific anatomical features of severe group IIB Tanzer constricted ear and reviewed the postoperative surgical outcomes and complications.

Segmentation of the 3D printed mirror image auricular model to ease sculpture of the costal cartilages in total auricular aesthetic reconstruction.

Background: Recently, three-dimensional (3D) models have been used more frequently than the traditional two-dimensional (2D) models as an intraoperative guide to ease sculpture of costal cartilages in total auricular aesthetic reconstruction in cases of microtia. Usually, 3D imaging techniques are used to create compact ear models, however, there is insufficient clinical knowledge of using them to create segmented 3D auricular models for cartilage framework reconstruction. IN THIS STUDY: assessment of the advantages of segmentation of 3D models over the traditional compact 3D models in total auricular aesthetic reconstruction has been discussed.

Comparison between platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and mechanically emulsified fat grafts in management of chronic wounds.

Background: chronic wounds represent a challenge in treatment, due to diverse pathogenesis, resistance to ordinary treatment complex and lack of direct methods of treatment In this study, the aim is to compare the effect of Platelet -rich plasma (PRP) and mechanically emulsified fat grafts on the outcome of the healing process of chronic wounds.

Patients And Methods: In the current study, 30 patients with chronic wounds were divided into two groups (Group I, 15 patients had application of PRP on chronic wounds). Whereas (Group II, 15 patients had application of mechanically emulsified fat on chronic wounds).
