Reconstruction of periorbital region defects: A retrospective study.

Background: Although the periorbital region forms less than 1% of the total body surface, it has a very complex anatomy; therefore, it requires a detailed approach. In this work, we aim to present the clinical applications and related literature for the algorithm of the technique which will be applied, according to the location of the defect, in choosing the surgery treatment method. Factors affecting the results and different treatment methods of the anatomical region, including its difficult reconstruction, will also be included.

Analysis of patients with phyllodes tumor of the breast.

Objective: The diagnosis and management of phyllodes tumors is challenging due to its low incidence. The treatment of these tumors is surgery, however the extent of surgery, the application of adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy are still controversial. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate patients who were treated with a diagnosis of phyllodes tumor of the breast in our clinic.

Complex craniofacial reconstruction with prostheses as an alternative method to autogenous reconstruction.

Reconstruction of facial organ and tissue losses using autogenous tissue is a permanent and effective method in plastic surgery. However, in cases where the patient's general condition does not allow for surgical reconstruction or where the patient is in need of reconstruction of complex organs such as the eye, nose, or ear, an epithesis can be considered as an alternative to treatment with autogenous tissue. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the success rate of facial reconstructions with an externally retained prosthesis in relation to the defect location and radiotherapy treatment.

First report of a case with needle track sinus after aspiration biopsy of a benign thyroid nodule resulted in an unexpected postoperative complication.

Fine needle aspiration biopsy is the most feasible, safe, and accurate diagnostic tool for thyroid nodule diagnosis. The development of a sinus tract between thyroid gland and the skin through needle tract after fine needle aspiration biopsy is an extremely uncommon phenomenon. In this paper, a 71-year-old man presenting with a swelling and discharge on the anterior neck wall was reported.

Intermittent ischaemia of skin flaps shortens time taken to divide pedicles: an experimental study in rats.

Ischaemic preconditioning increases the survival of flaps. Random-pattern McFarlane dorsal flaps were raised in 30 female Wistar rats, which were divided into three groups. An ischaemic conditioning protocol with clamping of the pedicle was used.
