Debulking surgery in advanced melanoma

Expert Review of Anticancer Therapy, 2011
In general, patients with stage IV melanoma have poor survival. However, there are subsets of stage IV melanoma patients who are candidates for surgical debulking. There is a growing body of retrospective evidence about clinicians being able to better select patients who may benefit from surgical resection in isolated stage IV disease.

Debulking of stage IVA thymoma

Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2012
We present a debulking procedure for the removal of a stage IVA thymoma in a patient with myasthenia gravis (MG). This included thymectomy to remove the primary thymoma, resection of an anterior paracardial mass, a posterior pleural mass, partial pleurectomy, resection of phrenic nerve and wedge excisions of the right upper, middle and lower lobes.

Liposuction for Debulking Free Flaps

Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery, 1986
Suction-assisted lipectomy is a useful adjunct technique that allows the microsurgeon to debulk composite tissue transfers safely, without fear of compromising flap viability. The functional and aesthetic results of free flaps can often be enhanced in a single stage, which may not be possible using other conventional procedures.

Delayed debulking of free muscle flaps for aesthetic contouring debulking of free muscle flaps

British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 1992
Although denervated muscle and myocutaneous free flaps atrophy over a period of time, when used for surface coverage they may remain bulky, resulting in a less than optimal aesthetic result. With the availability of a number of donor sites, soft tissue defects can often be reconstructed with like tissue in a single stage.

Primary debulking surgery vs. interval debulking surgery for advanced ovarian cancer: review of the literature and meta-analysis

Minerva Medica, 2019
INTRODUCTION Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the seventh most common cancer among women in the world and the leading cause of death from gynaecological malignancies. The standard treatment for advanced EOC consists of optimal primary debulking surgery

Dinitrochlorobenzene and Debulking Therapy of Conjunctival Papilloma

Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus, 1983
ABSTRACT A conjunctiva] papilloma in a four-year-old boy had recurred despite one surgical removal, and three cryosurgical treatments. After sensitization of the child's lymphocytes to dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB), the lesion responded rapidly and completely to debulking followed by painting the base of the tumor with DNCB.

The Use of Lipoplasty in Contouring and Debulking of Flaps

Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 1989
The authors report that lipoplasty can be used to contour and debulk flaps of various designs if fat is available in the flap or if a prominence of subcutaneous fat results from a buried flap. The technique, which is analogous to that used to treat localized fat deposits for aesthetic reasons, is presented here.

Debulking prior to stenting ? a worthwhile effort?

Zeitschrift f�r Kardiologie, 2002
The rationale of debulking prior to stenting is to improve acute and long-term results of complex lesion angioplasty by reduction of plaque burden and/or reduction of calcified material prior to stenting, thus, allowing subsequent optimized stent-implantation and expansion.

Molecular determinants of enhanced response to somatostatin receptor ligands after debulking in large GH‐producing adenomas

Clinical Endocrinology, 2020
Large somatotrophic adenomas depict poor response to somatostatin receptor ligands (SRLs). Debulking has shown to enhance SRLs effect in some but not all cases and tumour volume reduction has been proposed as the main predictor of response. No biological
