A novel computer system for the evaluation of nasolabial morphology, symmetry and aesthetics after cleft lip and palate treatment. Part 1: General concept and validation.

Purpose: The need for a widely accepted method suitable for a multicentre quantitative evaluation of facial aesthetics after surgical treatment of cleft lip and palate (CLP) has been emphasized for years. The aim of this study was to validate a novel computer system 'Analyse It Doc' (A.I.

Autologous Fat Transfer in Secondary Carpal Tunnel Release.

Reconstruction in case of full thickness abdominal wall defects due to necrotizing fascitis - case report.

Emergency full thickness abdominal wall defects constitute a challenging problem for surgeons. The aim of reconstruction is prevention of evisceration and hernia formation. Staged surgery is recommended in such cases.

Do low-molecular-weight heparins influence the healing process in colon anastomosis?

Anastomosis leakage is one of the most serious complications of colorectal surgery. A role for extracellular matrix remodelling in the healing process of the colon wall has been recently postulated. Changes in matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity in the intestinal wall occurring prior to elective resection and primary anastomosis appear to be responsible for dehiscence leading to anastomosis.
