BACKGROUND: Surgical site infection (SSI) in the form of postoperative deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) after cardiac surgery is a rare, but potentially fatal complication. In addressing this, the focus is on preventive measures as most risk factors for SSI are not controllable. Therefore operating rooms (OR) are equipped with heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to prevent airborne contamination of the wound either through turbulent mixed airflow (TMA) or unidirectional airflow (UDAF)...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Metal arrows are medieval weapons typically used for hunting and war. The incidence of metal arrow wounds has declined considerably since the 16th century. Different metal arrowheads exist, and the traditional Sahelian arrowhead is barbed. Extraction of this type of metal arrow is challenging because of the risk of extensive damage to surrounding structures. To the best of our knowledge, there are no guidelines in the literature for intracranial and spinal penetrating Sahelian arrow injuries and their surgical extraction...

BACKGROUND: Heterotopic ossification (HO) formation has been increasingly recognized as a complication of major orthopedic surgeries, particularly total hip arthroplasty (THA). Though, the overall incidence of HO following THA has been well-documented, it is often not reported by severity or by surgical approach. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: (1) What are the demographics of patients with HO? (2) What is the severity of HO following THA using the Brooker classification? (3) What is the incidence and class of HO following different THA approaches (anterior, posterior, posterolateral, anterolateral, superior, lateral, trans-gluteal)? (4) What are the number and training level of surgeons who performed each procedure? METHODS: The PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases were queried, and PRISMA guidelines were followed...

The management of wound healing represents a significant clinical challenge due to the complicated processes involved. Chitosan has remarkable properties that effectively prevent certain microorganisms from entering the body and positively influence both red blood cell aggregation and platelet adhesion and aggregation in the bloodstream, resulting in a favorable hemostatic outcome. In recent years, chitosan-based hydrogels have been widely used as wound dressings due to their biodegradability, biocompatibility, safety, non-toxicity, bioadhesiveness, and soft texture resembling the extracellular matrix...

Reconstruction of sufficient buccal peri-implant keratinised mucosa width (PIKM-W) is reported to reduce the symptoms of peri-implantitis. In order to reduce the drawbacks of autogenous graft harvesting, we investigated a novel porcine dermal matrix (XDM, mucoderm® ) using a modified surgical technique for augmentation of PIKM-W. Twenty-four patients were recruited with insufficient (<2 mm) PIKM-W. After split thickness flap preparation, the XDM was trimmed, rehydrated and tightly attached to the recipient periosteal bed using modified internal/external horizontal periosteal mattress sutures via secondary wound healing...

Introduction Elevated intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) hampers the effective functioning of intra- and extra-abdominal organs. Despite the abundance of knowledge, routine measurement of IAP still needs to be widely incorporated in managing at-risk patients. The present study intends to assess the need for IAP measurement on abdominal wound healing in emergency laparotomy patients. Methods This prospective study was carried out over 24 months in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy. The IAP was measured at admission, immediately after surgery, and during the early postoperative period at 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours...

INTRODUCTION: Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is the idiopathic osteonecrosis of the capital femoral epiphysis in children. It is a self-healing condition, and the morphology of the hip may vary according to the severity of the disease, among several other factors. The treatment focuses on attempts to prevent femoral head collapse, obtain functional hip motion recovery, and reduce pain. Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD) of the femoral head has been reported in 2% to 7% of patients diagnosed with healed LCPD...

BACKGROUND: Isolated gastrocnemius contracture has been associated with more than 30 lower limb disorders, including plantar heel pain/plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinosis, equinus foot, adult flatfoot, and metatarsalgia. Although many techniques are available for gastrocnemius recession, potential anesthetic, cosmetic, and wound-related complications can lead to patient dissatisfaction. Open and endoscopic recession techniques usually require epidural or general anesthesia, exsanguination of the lower extremities and stitches and can damage the sural nerve, which is not under the complete control of the surgeon at all stages of the procedure...

PURPOSE: Surgical resection with bony margins would be the treatment of choice for tumours with osseous involvement such as meningiomas and metastasis. By developing and designing pre-operative customised 3D modelled implants, the patient can undergo resection of meningioma and repair of bone defect in the same operation. We present a generalisable method for designing pre-operative cranioplasty in patients to repair the bone defect after the resection of tumours. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We included six patients who presented with a tumour that was associated with overlying bone involvement...

Maxillofacial fractures in the pediatric population are generally managed by conservative approaches such as soft diet and medication or semi-invasive procedures namely inter-maxillary fixation or circum-mandibular wiring. These approaches are preferred over any invasive treatment to minimize injury to the growing skeleton and tooth germs. Displaced fractures that cause functional problems such as restricted mouth opening, malocclusion or impaired breathing, mandate open reduction and internal fixation. However, surgical management is associated with morbidity related to general anesthesia, risk of injury to vital structures, and potential, skeletal or dental growth disturbances...
