The importance of multiple Z- plasty- assisted physical therapy in the treatment of Dupuytren's contracture.

Background: The palmar aponeurosis is extremely adherent to the skin above it. Many of the pre-tendinous coarse fibers enter the dermis at an angle, not just in the palmar creases but also throughout the palm. It's difficult to distinguish whether Dupuytren's illness starts in the skin's dermis or the palmar aponeurosis since the skin adheres so closely to the palmar fascia.

Long-term evaluation of Elmelegy's technique of local muscle transposition for the functional restoration of large upper or lower lip defects.

Background: Although more than 200 techniques have been reported for the reconstruction of the upper and lower lip defects since 1000 BC, none of them is ideal. Local flaps may result in extra skin incisions and in some cases, the surgeon may be confronted with the lack of sufficient tissues for the reconstruction of large defects. Several techniques have been described for near-total lip reconstruction.

Evaluation of electrophotobiomodulation as a recent tool in the armamentarium of treatment of fingertip injuries.

Background: Traditional reconstructive options of fingertip injuries are technically difficult, usually need donor site skin grafting, leave visible scars, and need a protracted period of finger immobilization resulting in joint stiffness. Electro-photobiomodulation (EPBM), is the process of combining intense pulsed light and radiofrequency to modify tissues to help the body heal itself, lower inflammation, and promote wound healing.

Patients And Methods: This study included 60 patients presented with fingertip injuries.

Cryocarboxy Surgery: A New Armamentarium in the Treatment of Infantile Hemangiomas of the Lips.

Background: Cryotherapy was reported in the treatment of infantile hemangiomas by many studies using liquid nitrogen as a cryogen.

Objective: To evaluate the outcome of cryo-carboxy surgery in treatment of infantile lip hemangiomas.

Methods: In this study, we present the use of carbon dioxide as the cryogen in 50 patients with infantile hemangiomas of the lips with successful results.

Aesthetic Treatment of Acute Burns of the Face Using Electro-Photobiomodulation.

The quicker a second-degree burn wound heals, the less surgery is required. Low-energy laser therapy may expedite the healing of wounds, according to recent literature findings. To establish this, it was decided to carry out a clinical trial on acute burn patients to demonstrate whether electro-photobiomodulation (EPBM) therapy can hasten wound closure, thereby obviating the need for surgery without worsening hypertrophic scarring and contracture.

Hypertrophic Scars of the Hand: The Role of Electrophotobiomodulation Theory as a Recent Line of Treatment.

Background: A more enduring strategy for the treatment of hypertrophic scars of the hand is still a challenge facing restorative dermatologists and plastic surgeons. Nonetheless, with the use of nonablative devices, intense pulsed light and different types of lasers have started to yield promising outcomes and are close to becoming an effective and dependable technique. The advances in radiofrequency energy have brought new life to optical-based frameworks.

Prominent Ear Correction Using Full-Thickness Cartilage Strip: An Incomplete Cutting Technique.

Background: Prominent ears are one of the most well-known facial disfigurements influencing youngsters. Approximately 5% of the population suffers from some degree of ear prominence. More than 200 techniques have been used for the surgical correction of prominent ears, referring that no single "best" method exists and that techniques and modifications will continue to appear.

Treatment of Gigantomastia Using a Medial-Lateral Bipedicle Reduction Mammoplasty: The Role of Doppler-Assisted Preoperative Perforator Identification.

The purpose of this study is to introduce a breast reduction technique designed to reduce the incidence of postoperative nipple-areola complex ischemia and necrosis following reduction mammoplasty, while at the same time allowing all the other goals of breast reduction to be realized. This is achieved through preoperative detection of perforating vessels supplying the nipple-areola complex using a hand-held Doppler. The horizontally based parenchymal pedicle is designed to include these perforators whether originating from the internal mammary artery, lateral thoracic artery or both.
