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.

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.

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.

Comparison of the Never Repair with Fibrin Glue and Perineural Micro-Suture in Rat Model.

Background: Many different methods for nerve repair have been introduced. Nerve repair with micro-suture is the gold standard one; however, the use of fibrin glue is a promising method. This study compared the never repair with fibrin glue and perineural micro-suture in rat model.

The Comparison of A New Durable Coronaplasty Technique with Norfolk Method for Glans Reconstruction after Phalloplasty.

Background: Phalloplasty is the most amazing reconstructive surgery, and has a vital role in the quality of life of transsexual patients. There are several techniques for glans sculpting, but none of them had long-lasting results. In the present study, a new technique was introduced and compared with Norfolk technique for coronaplasty following phalloplasty.

Lower Extremity Burns, Complications, and Outcome.

We have encountered many burn cases with lower extremity burn with adverse outcome. The study was a retrospective cohort study in 2 years, mean (SD) of follow up was 12(7) months. All demographic data, cause burn, time, total burn surface area (TBSA), presence lower extremity burn and its burn surface area (BSA), foot burn, delay in treatment, smoking, infection, morbidity, co-morbid diseases, length of stay (LOS), amputation, mortality, and outcome were gathered from patients' files.

Comparing the effect of two types of silver nano-crystalline dressings (acticoat and agcoat) in the treatment of full thickness burn wound.

Background And Objectives: This study was conducted to compare the effect of acticoat and agcoat dressing (2 types of silver nano-crystalline dressings) in the treatment of burn wounds. Infection is one of the most important causes of death in patients with major burn. Despite using different prevention methods, including prophylaxis antibiotics with broad-spectrum antibiotics, no method has been found to prevent this dangerous complication for burn patients.

Tissue expanders; review of indications, results and outcome during 15 years' experience.

Background: Tissue expanders (TE) are frequently used worldwide. In this study we surveyed outcome of our patients retrospectively during 15 years.

Materials And Methods: We had 1105 patients for whom 3059 TEs have been used.

Tendon Harvest for Treatment of Radial Nerve Palsy Using Endoscopic Technique.

Background: Endoscopic method for many surgeries with minimal access is proposed to be effective for preventing the excessive scar formation, reducing pain, cosmesis, and the early return to work. Surgical outcomes of endoscopic and open methods for tendon harvest in treatment of radial nerve palsy were evaluated.

Methods: In a randomized single-blind clinical trial study, 10 patients with radial nerve palsy who referred to the Plastic Surgery Department of the Fatimah Zahra Hospital, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran were divided into two equal groups.

Comparison of the Results of Early Flap Coverage with Late Flap Coverage in High-Voltage Electrical Injury.

Patients with high-voltage electrical injuries had very high rates of infection, morbidity, and limb amputation. The results of early and late flap coverage in these patients were prospectively compared. The patients were divided into two groups, early flap group (≤3 weeks) and late flap group (>3 weeks), according to the length of time from injury to wound coverage with flap.

Comparison of healing effect of aloe vera extract and silver sulfadiazine in burn injuries in experimental rat model.

Background: Wound healing is widely discussed in the medical literature. This study compared the healing effect of aloe vera extract and silver sulfadiazine in burn injuries in experimental rat model.

Methods: Sixteen rats were randomly assigned to one of two groups, each group 8 rats.

Assessing effect of three herbal medicines in second and third degree burns in rats and comparison with silver sulfadiazine ointment.

Introduction: Assessing effect of three herbal medicines on healing of deep second and third degree burns in rats and their comparison with silver sulfadiazine group.

Methods And Materials: 40 rats were randomly assigned to one of the four groups, each group 10 rats. A deep second degree burn and a third degree burn were induced on the lower back and upper back of each rat under standard burning procedure, respectively.

Huge retroperitoneal liposarcoma.

Liposarcoma are one of the common soft tissue sarcomas of adulthood which are remarkable because of their frequently large size. We report a case with an extremely large well-differentiated retroperitoneal liposarcoma that weighted 32 kilograms. The patient had relapse about one year later and two recurrent tumors were successfully excised.
