Enzymatic Debridement With NexobridReduces Surgery in Laser Doppler Imaging-Confirmed Deep Burns.

In contrast to tangential excision, enzymatic debridement with NexoBrid selectively removes non-viable tissue, allowing some deep dermal burn wounds to still heal conservatively. In this retrospective study, we investigated the reduction in surgery and associated scarring following enzymatic debridement in definitely deep burns as proven by laser Doppler imaging. One hundred two where there was no doubt at all about the surgical indication, were selected for analysis in 32 patients treated with NexoBrid.

Case Report: Pediatric alloplastic nose reconstruction with a 3D printed patient specific titanium implant.

An 11-year-old girl presented at the emergency service with a nasal defect caused by a dog bite in the midface. Autologous nose reconstruction in the pediatric population is challenging due to donor site morbidity and remaining facial growth. Temporary prosthetic treatment is difficult to accept due to problems with retention.

Visualization of the Facial Nerve with Ultra-high-Frequency Ultrasound.

Background: Profound variations in facial nerve branching, combined with the severe impact of facial palsy on the patient's quality of life, make surgery in this region challenging. Recent advancements in ultrasound (US) technology, including the improved visualization of small structures, have led to a sharp increase in its medical indications in various medical disciplines. We aimed to prove the feasibility of using ultra-high-frequency (UHF) US to visualize the facial nerve and to guide surgeons during surgery on and around the facial nerve.

Comparison of Presurgical Anthropometric Measures of Right and Left Complete Unilateral Cleft Lip and/or Palate.

Background: Left clefts occur twice as frequently as right ones. The sidedness has been suggested to influence certain outcomes. Some surgeons consider a right cleft more challenging to repair.
