Objective: To explore the method of fabricating larynx-shape tissue engineered cartilage by means of filling together with wrapping with pedicle myofascial flap.
Methods: Serial steps of solution casting, extrusion molding and particulate leaching were used to make larynx-shape [poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate), PHBHH] biomaterial models. The chondrocytes were seeded onto PHBHH models to form cell-PHBHH composites for culture in vitro for one week and then to fill and wrap larynx-shape composites with pedicle myofascial flap.

Objective: To review our experience with a modified rectus/pyramidalis myofascial sling, described more than a century ago for treating refractory urinary incontinence in children with neurogenic sphincteric incompetence.
Patients And Methods: Thirty-seven patients (23 females and 14 males, aged 8-21 years) presented with urinary incontinence which failed to respond to medical treatment. In 36 patients the cause of the incontinence was a neurogenic bladder; one patient had sustained a traumatic injury to the bladder neck and urethra.

Objectives: The management of intractable urinary incontinence in the patient with cloacal or bladder exstrophy/epispadias, failed bladder neck plasty, or failed augmentation cystoplasty remains a surgical challenge. The myofascial wrap, a modification of the rectus fascial wrap, was developed to treat intractable urinary incontinence due to sphincteric incompetence in these problematic cases. A full-thickness, vascularized pedicle of anterior rectus sheath, rectus abdominis muscle, and posterior rector sheath is incorporated into a bladder neck wrap to provide support, mucosal coaptation, and active muscular tone.
