Accuracy of Mirror Image Mapping of Lymphatic Tract for High-stage and Reoperative Lymphaticovenular Anastomosis: Intraoperative Analysis and Early Clinical Outcome.

Background: Indocyanine green lymphography (ICGL) generally has a nonlinear pattern in advanced-stage lymphedema. Despite the lack of a linear pattern ICGL, lymphatic vessels have been discovered in several studies. The purpose of this work was to establish lymphatic mapping utilizing information from the contralateral limb and to illustrate the symmetry of lymphatic systems.

Radiological landmark of syndesmotic ligament complex by magnetic resonance imaging correlate with fibula free flap harvesting procedure.

Preservation of syndesmotic ligaments is crucial for preventing adverse sequelae at the donor site following free fibula osteocutaneous flap harvesting. This study sought to determine the relationship between distal tibiofibular ligaments and the fibular segment to identify radiological landmarks that facilitate safe and precise flap. The distances between the distal tibiofibular ligaments (anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament [AITFL], posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament [PITFL]) and the fibular segment, as well as the lower border of the interosseous membrane, were measured on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of 296 patients without any perceivable ankle abnormalities.

Utilization of images and three-dimensional custom-made nostril retainer fabricate for patients with cleft lip and cleft lip nose deformities at Siriraj Hospital: preliminary phase.

A prospective study utilizing image analysis to assess nostril openings in post-operative patients with cleft lip and cleft lip nose deformities. This preliminary study seeks to employ two-dimensional (2D) images to fabricate a custom-made nostril retainer. This study was performed at Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Thailand.

The Precision of Different Types of Plates Fabricated With a Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing System in Mandibular Reconstruction With Fibular-Free Flaps.

Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) has been introduced to mandible reconstruction with fibular-free flap in cutting guide placement. When CAS cooperates with different plate fixations, the results show various degrees of errors by which this study aimed to evaluate. Mock surgeries were conducted in 3D-printed mandibles with 2 types of defects, limited or extensive, reconstructed from 2 ameloblastoma patients.

Surgical Anatomy for Fibular Free Flap Focusing on the Inferior Tibiofibular Syndesmotic System: A Cadaveric Study and Case Series of 3-Dimensional Prefabricate Cutting Guided Fibular Free Flap.

Even though there are many options for mandibular reconstruction, a free fibula osteocutaneous flap is regarded as the most frequently used flap. Despite having some previous anatomical studies pertaining to syndesmotic ligaments, there is no study pointing out that surgical landmarks can be used while free fibula osteocutaneous flaps are performed and used for surgical landmarks in order to avoid syndesmotic ligament injuries. Therefore, this study investigates the characteristics and relationship between inferior syndesmotic ligaments and fibula in cadavers.

Precision of Low-Cost Augmented Reality in Prefabricated Cutting Guide for Fibular Free Flap Surgery.

Background: Augmented reality (AR) is an imaging technology encompassing an interactive experience of a real-world environment enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information. It has been introduced to current medical practice to help the preoperative planning in many surgical fields.

Methods: The authors applied AR to the computed tomography angiography of 8 patient's legs.
