Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the cosmetic outcome of traditional straight-line (SL) linear closure to that of W plasty (a type of geometric broken-line cutaneous closure technique) for closure of post-auricular wounds resulting from harvest of full thickness skin grafts during Mohs micrographic surgery. The research team will use a split wound model, where half of the wound is repaired with a straight-line cutaneous closure and the other half is repaired with the W-plasty technique. Three-months post-surgery, the scar will be measured via the patient observer scar assessment scale (POSAS), a validated scar instrument. The scar width, and adverse events will also be recorded.
It is standard teaching that the top layer of sutures should be placed 3-5mm from the wound edge. However, there is lack of data regarding the most optimal placement of sutures from the wound edge for the best cosmetic outcome. The research team wish to determine if sutures placed closer to the wound edge (2mm) or farther from the wound edge (5mm) makes a difference in the cosmetic outcome of the scar.
Prospective study of cosmetic outcome and quality of life for women undergoing breast cancer surgery using patient a reported outcome measure (BREAST-Q) and a computer program validated to assess cosmetic outcomes after breast cancer surgery (BCCT.core) at baseline and on 1-year follow-up.
laparoendoscopic single-site surgery is compared to conventional multi-port laparoscopy for polycystic ovary syndrome in infertile women undergoing ovarian drilling as regards successful surgical procedure with less side effects
There was not any randomize trial to show what is the best type of incision in open rhinoplasty. So, we use both self-rating by patients ,independent physician observers Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and also a validated scar analysis to compare inverted V and stair step incisions.
