Article Synopsis
- Traumatic peripheral nerve injuries occur in about 13-23 people per 100,000 annually and can lead to major functional impairments, making effective treatments critical.
- This study investigates the potential benefits of combining adipose-derived stem cells with nerve transfer procedures for improved repair outcomes in a rat model of brachial plexus injury.
- The results showed that the group receiving both nerve transfer and stem cells demonstrated more favorable outcomes compared to the nerve transfer group alone, indicating a promising avenue for future treatments.
Free flaps and their modifications are used to reconstruct multiple large defects in the lip and face. In this study, we present our results on the reconstruction of these defects using bipaddle and sensate free radial forearm-palmaris longus flaps and subsequent revision surgeries. Patient medical records of 11 patients with a mean age of 63.

One of the major drawbacks of this flap, however, is donor site morbidity, as the donor site is closed with a skin graft. Problems with skin graft donor areas include adhesion, contracture, and wound-healing complications.

However, most described cases include neonates and infants, but not cases due to trauma or infection. Here, we present a case of an adult patient with SMCP with a perforation of the palate who was undiagnosed.

This study presents technique details with functional and aesthetic results of a dorsal rectangular and volar V-Y advancement flap combination for web reconstruction and S incisions for finger separation in patients with syndactyly.
Method: Ten patients with 16 syndactyly webs were treated.
Aim: The objective of the present study was to examine whether joint sounds are objective criteria for evaluating the success of surgery for non-reduced anterior disc dislocation.
Method: Twenty-seven patients (age, 35.6 ± 10.
Article Synopsis
- Necrotizing fasciitis and necrotizing cellulitis are severe skin infections that can occur in patients with chickenpox (varicella).
- It can be difficult to differentiate between the two conditions due to similar initial symptoms and unclear diagnostic criteria.
- The paper discusses two cases in children where necrotizing cellulitis followed varicella, highlighting that it progressed more slowly and was effectively treated using conservative methods rather than intensive surgery.
Article Synopsis
- Split calvarial bone grafts are commonly used for reconstructing skull defects but may not be suitable for all cases, especially in children; therefore, particulate bone grafts with viable osteoblasts might offer a better solution.
- In a study with 32 female rats, different types of grafts (no graft, bone dust particles, bone fragments, and full-thickness cranial graft) were assessed over 12 weeks for bone viability and resorption.
- The results showed that both the bone fragment group and the full-thickness graft group maintained bone viability and promoted osteogenesis better than the group with bone dust, which failed to induce new bone growth similar to the no graft group.
With its perineural invasion capacity, periorbital squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) may easily invade orbital structures. When SCC invades the orbital musculature or the orbit itself, orbital exenteration, one of the most disfiguring operations on the face, is required. We reviewed elderly patients with periorbitally localized SCC requiring orbital exenteration to evaluate reconstructive options and survival.

Therefore, general anesthesia is generally preferred in this operations. However, use of ultrasound allows reliable deposition of the anesthetic around the nerves, potentially lowering the local anesthetic requirement.
