Article Synopsis
- - The study explores how leg dominance affects the choice of perforator flap donor sites for reconstruction surgeries using advanced imaging techniques to enhance preoperative planning.
- - In a sample of 40 patients, most (87.5%) were right-leg dominant, showcasing that the dominant leg typically has larger and more numerous perforators for certain flap types compared to the nondominant leg.
- - Results suggest that surgeons may benefit from prioritizing the dominant leg as a donor site, as it has better vascular characteristics and muscle thickness for improving surgical outcomes, although no significant differences were found in the subcutaneous tissue thickness.
Under inflammatory conditions, macrophage dominance affects the degree of inflammation. We assessed the effects of the active vitamin D (calcitriol) administration on inflammatory processes and macrophage dominance and aimed to determine the potential positive macroscopic and histological effects in supermicrosurgical arterial anastomosis model of rats. Forty rats were divided into five groups: control surgery (Group 1), surgery with preoperative (Group 2), post-operative (Group 3), perioperative (Group 4) systemic calcitriol and surgery with local calcitriol (Group 5).

Materials And Methods: The data from patients that underwent Barts “flank-free” modified supine PCNL (BS-PCNL) (n = 52) between June 2018 and July 2020 and prone PCNL (P-PCNL) (n = 286) between April 2014 and June 2018 were retrospectively evaluated. Of those 286 patients, 104 patients whose sex, age, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiology score, stone localization, stone size, and hydronephrosis matched the BS-PCNL group in a 1:2 ratio were included in the study.
