Intercostal muscles in the rabbit: surgical anatomy and flap construction [PDF]
Laboratory Animals, 1998 Demos and colleagues (1967) obtained good antireflux results from transposing an intercostal myoneurovascular pedicle around the gastro-oesophageal junction in dogs. An intact neurovascular supply is essential for the viability of a muscle flap. The aim of this study was to delineate the nerve and arterial supply to the left 11th intercostal muscle in

Surgical Treatment of Relapsing Keloid of the Pinna by Fillet Flap
Actas Dermo-Sifiliográficas (English Edition), 2010 Keloid scars occur when, compared to normal healing, there is excessive formation of collagen after skin wounds or burns. Different treatments have been tried, though no particular one has been shown to be superior. The objective of this study was to assess the usefulness of the surgical technique originally described as keloid fillet flap in the ...

Mathematical Methods for Assessing the Accuracy of Pre-Planned and Guided Surgical Osteotomies [PDF]
The fibula-free flap (FFF) is a valuable reconstructive technique in maxillofacial surgery; however, the assessment of osteotomy accuracy remains challenging. We devised two novel methodologies to compare planned and postoperative osteotomies in FFF reconstructions that minimized user input but would still generalize to other operations involving the ...
