Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial] is to compare different types of dressings used and there outcomes on STSG donor site wound. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - the effectiveness of different donor site dressings and their adverse outcomes - the satisfaction of patients with the donor site dressing will be observed. Participants will randomly allocated different types of dressings for split thickness skin graft donor site wound which include alginate hydrocolloid hydrofiber silicon film guaze
The aim of this observational study is to examine the connection between bone-tendinous defects after BTB graft harvest and the development of anterior knee pain.
The radial forearm free flap (RFFF) is widely used in head and neck reconstruction. Its thinness, pliability, pedicle length, and vessel size are particularly suited for oropharyngeal and oral cavity reconstruction. Concerns about aesthetic and functional morbidity at the donor site have given rise to various techniques of closing the donor site, two of which are the split-thickness skin graft (STSG), taken from the thigh, and the hatchet flap, which uses a local flap within the radial forearm. This RCT will determine whether retrospectively reported improvements to aesthetic and functional outcomes for STSG patients are greater compared to hatchet flap patients.
Split-thickness skin graft (STSG) is one of the most common procedures performed in plastic surgery and dermatology. The donor site of skin grafting is expected to heal without scarring. However, hypertrophic scar formation is prevalent among STSG donor sites during scar maturation and has become a significant problem at present. Hypertrophic scar results in aesthetic, physical, functional, and psychological problems, leading to a dramatic impact on patients' quality of life ultimately. There are many current therapeutic approaches for preventing and treating hypertrophic scars; however, they remain clinically unsatisfactory because many treatments have been associated with high recurrent rates, high cost, and side effects. Currently, there are no gold standards for hypertrophic scar therapy. There are many attempts to develop new treatment options for the prevention and management of scarring that are acceptable to both physicians and patients. It has previously been shown that both edible bird's nest (EBN) extract and sericin have effectiveness in reducing scar development. They might be a suitable alternative option for scar prevention and could be used safely. Therefore, the sericin hydrogel sheet impregnated with EBN extract is developed as it is believed that the synergism of these combined compounds would be a great help to prevent the development of scars. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sericin hydrogel sheet impregnated with EBN extract for the prevention of scar formation in patients with STSG donor sites.
Laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy (LLDN) is a safe procedure and rapid wound healing, affecting the quality of life. The physiology of postoperative pain after LLDN has been attributed to reasons such as tissue damage, residual pneumoperitoneum, and diaphragm irritation. In terms of patient comfort after LLDN, pain control is provided by IV analgesics, local anesthetic injection instead of incision, and regional techniques. Regional anesthesia techniques for postoperative pain control have become popular in recent years. Today, many blocks are performed with ultrasonography (USG) to reduce the severity of pain after laparoscopic and open surgeries. In 2016, Forero et al. erector spinae plane block (ESPB) had been defined and used successfully in thoracic and abdominal surgeries. In our clinic, peripheral nerve blocks such as intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) and ESPB are applied for postoperative analgesia. The method of analgesia is suitable for the surgery and explained to the patients. This study; In LLDN operations, it was aimed to compare the bilateral ESP block performed with USG in terms of postoperative pain scores and opioid analgesic consumption compared to patients without any block. Before the operation, the anesthesiologist in charge of the anesthesia outpatient clinic provides information about both anesthesia and postoperative pain management methods suitable for surgery. This is the standard practice in our clinic. Before anesthesia, anesthesia and analgesia methods will be briefly reminded to the patient who has come for the operation. He/she will be asked if he/she wants to apply postoperative analgesia. Block procedure will be applied to patients who want ESP block. Standard analgesia will be applied to all patients. Regardless of the study, patients who underwent LLDN operation will be interviewed in the postoperative period with or without an ESP block for postoperative analgesia. The data and postoperative evaluations of the patients who agreed to participate in the study will be recorded for study purposes. The patient data will be taken from the hospital registration system.
To examine the efficacy and safety of sericin dressing with collagen in STSG donor site treatment comparing with Bactigras®. Around 30 patients will be enrolled in this study.
In the field of reconstructive microsurgery, donor site morbidity after free flap harvest is one of the key factors to consider when choosing among different options of free flap. Peroneal artery-based free flap, such as fibula flap or peroneal flap, is one of the popular options of free flap. There are a plenty of literature using a variety of modalities to evaluate the donor site morbidity after free fibula harvest, such as gait analysis. Elastography has been used to evaluate the stiffness change of soft tissue, such as skeletal muscle, or liver. The purpose of this study is to use elastography to evaluate the stiffness of lower leg muscle after peroneal artery-based free flap harvest.
The aim of this study was to investigate if previous findings on the association between dressing treatments and subjective opinion on final donor site scar outcome using the patient scale of POSAS could be confirmed objectively. Scar outcome measurements were assessed by a blinded observer using POSAS and the device: Cutometer dual MPA 580 (Courage and Khazaka Electronic GmbH, Cologne, Germany) to measure the viscoelasticity of the skin.
The post-operative delirium picture is a serious and common complication seen after any major surgery, including hepatic resection. Patients who will be planned to undergo donor hepatectomy for liver transplantation will be included in the study. Basic clinical and demographic information of patients undergoes donor hepatectomy will be recorded before surgery. The anatomical parameters such as liver volume, medications performed during the surgery, complications, bleeding amounts, fluids given, blood and blood products, vital signs during surgery, fluid balance, duration of surgery, recovery length at post-operative period, complications after surgery, approaches to complications, analgesics and other medications used, hemogram and other biochemical parameters (electrolytes, albumin, liver frontier tests, etc.), weight status, vital signs, duration of intensive care, post-operative VAS scores, drainage and information such as length of stay, length of hospital stay, the healing time of the wound will also be recorded. During the hospitalization, the delirium status of the patients will be evaluated with a delirium evaluation scale by consultant doctor. Blood will be taken for the measurement of S100β, NSE, and GFAP levels one day before donor hepatectomy and following day of hepatectomy, 3rd day, and 7th day in the post-operative period. The plasma of the blood taken will be separated and stored at -80 0C until working. Laboratory values are taken from the patients before the operation will be recorded over the system. The relationship between the results obtained and the delirium evaluation scores performed on the days followed will be evaluated. This study aims to analyze the delirium incidence and post-operative early S100β, NSE, and GFAP levels within the first week following the hepatectomy performed in live donors for liver transplantation.
CTG was harvested from 21 patients in each group. Donor site was treated with either GS (control) or GS+CY (test). Palatal tissue thickness, graft dimensions, working time (WT) and primary bleeding time were recorded intraoperatively. Patients recorded the quantity of analgesics (QA) taken, presence of secondary bleeding (SB) and pain perception (PP) daily for first postoperative week. Sensation loss (SL), color match (CM), epithelization level (EL) were evaluated at days 7, 14, 21 and 28.
