A Novel Approach to Incision Marking in Abdominoplasty Using 3D Printing Technology: A Description of Technique.

Abdominoplasty is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures used to improve the appearance and contour of the abdominal region. Despite advances in surgical techniques, achieving optimal aesthetic results with minimal scarring remains a challenge. In this study, we describe a feasible approach to incision marking in abdominoplasty using a three-dimensional-printed incision marking tool.

Case Report of Thromboembolism Prophylaxis in a Burn Patient With COVID-19.

The recent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has worse medical consequences, especially when affecting people with comorbidities such as diabetes, lung disease, hypertension, burn and trauma. The pathophysiology of COVID-19 infection includes thromboembolic events that were described in previous studies as a risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). This risk is higher in burn patients, especially in the electrical type, which is generally attributed to their hypercoagulable state.

Investigating the Potential Use of Date Kernel Ash (DKA) as a Partial Cement Replacement in Concrete.

The palm and date sector is one of the most important sectors in Saudi Arabia. The total number of fertile palm trees in Saudi Arabia is about 31 million. In the production of pitted dates, date molasses, date paste, and date confectionery, a considerable number of date kernels are usually discarded as waste.

Evaluating effects of primary defatting for flap thinning on the development of perfusion-related complications in free perforator flap reconstruction.

Background: Primary defatting is suggested as an effective and appealing technique for achieving flap thinning. There has been a long-standing concern regarding its potential adverse effects on flap perfusion, for which limited clinical evidence exists. This study aimed to investigate whether primary defatting negatively influences the outcomes of free perforator flap reconstruction.

A successful surgical treatment of a closed rupture of flexor digitorum superficialis in surgeon's hand. A case report and review of literature.

Introduction: Isolated closed rupture or avulsion of the flexor digitomm superficialis (FDS) tendon at its insertion is a rare diagnosis. It can be related to a pathology such as rheumatoid arthritis, bony abnormalities, tenosynovitis, fractures, or tuberculosis. A review of the literature identified only few cases of closed avulsion or rupture of FDS tendons nonpathologically.

Trans-styloid, trans-hamate dorsal lunate dislocation: A case report.

Introduction: Lunate dislocation is a rare and serious injury, frequently due to high-energy trauma such as a fall from height or a motor vehicle accident. Lunate dislocation is usually in the volar direction; however, dorsal dislocation of the lunate is extremely rare.

Presentation Of Case: We report a case of 55-year-old male who sustained a high-energy trauma; he was hit by a car while crossing the street.
