Article Synopsis
  • The study discusses a surgical technique for vaginal reconstruction using a segment of the ileum, performed with laparoscopic assistance, to assess complications and long-term outcomes.
  • Between 2002 and 2010, 82 patients underwent the procedure, with complications occurring in 16 cases, including urinary and bowel injuries and delayed healing, while most outcomes were positive.
  • The findings support this method as a viable option for patients with congenital vaginal atresia or for male-to-female transsexuals, providing a well-functioning neovagina with no significant changes to the vulva.

Objective: To investigate the possibility of Laparoscopic reconstruction of vagina using pedicled ileal autograft and provide a new procedure of colpopoiesis.

Methods: The abdominal and perineal approaches were performed simultaneously under a sufficiently deep general anaesthesia. Laparoscopically, a 15-18 cm segment of the ileum on its vascular pedicle, ileal branches of the superior mesenteric artery and its concomitant veins, was selected and isolated for transplantation using ultrasonically-powered instruments.

Objective: To study the effect and the key points in the operative procedure of the one-stage reconstruction of postburn whole auricle defect with medpor car scaffold covered with superficial temporoparietal fascia (TPF) flap.

Methods: Medpor car scaffold was embedded under the superficial temporal (TFP) fascia. Razor-thin skin was grafted onto the surface of the fascia flap.

Objective: To introduce a compound external ear framework characterized by few complications, simplicity and very low rate of implant exposure or absorption.

Methods: A compound auricular framework, being composed of the ninth autogenous costal cartilage as ear rim and Medpor ear base, was used in one-stage total ear reconstruction. All patients were followed up postoperatively.

Objective: To investigate the role of tumor necrosis factor alpha: TNF-alpha in the hypertrophic scar and find a valid way to treat the hypertrophic scars with gene therapy.

Methods: TNF-alpha mRNA expression was tested with a semiquantitative reverse polymerase chain reation (RT-PCR) method in the different period of a hypertrophic scar.

Results: There was a significant increase of TNF-alpha mRNA as the hypertrophic scar was getting mature (P < 0.

Objective: To investigate the expression of several homeobox genes during the wound healing in fetal and adult skin and their roles in fetal scarless wound healing.

Methods: The expressions of PRX-2, HOXB13, HOX2.2 and HOX2.
