Brachial Plexus Morphology and Vascular Supply in the Wistar Rat
Almeida, MA; Casal, D; Mafra, M; Mascarenhas-Lemos, L; Martins-Ferreira, J; Ferraz-Oliveira, M; Amarante, J; Goyri-O'Neill, JIntroduction: The rat is probably the animal species most widely used in experimental studies on nerve repair. The aim of this work was to contribute to a better understanding of the morphology and blood supply of the rat brachial plexus. Material and Methods: Thirty adult rats were studied regarding brachial plexus morphology and blood supply. Intravascular injection and dissection under an operating microsc...
Cutaneous reconstruction at the leg and foot level. Experience in 277 clinical ...
Amarante, J; Serviço de Cirurgia Plástica e Reconstrutiva, Hospital de S. João e da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade do Porto.; Reis, JThe authors present their clinical experience of leg and foot reconstruction with 227 clinical cases. Based on these cases the authors analyse the use of 18 musculocutaneous, 53 axial, 72 septocutaneous and 84 free flaps, totalling 29 different kinds of flaps performed. Although no definitive conclusions can be drawn about which are the best flaps for foot and leg reconstruction, the preferential options are po...
Free flaps in the reconstruction of head and neck. Clinical experience.
Reis, J; Serviço de Cirurgia Plástica e Reconstrutiva, Hospital de S. João, Porto.; Amarante, J; Malheiro, E; Santa-Comba, A; Costa-Ferreira, AThe reconstruction of head and neck defects, due to trauma, tumor resection or other, begins with a careful assessment of the patient and the respective defect. Ideally, it ends with the successful reconstructive procedure that optimally restores form and function to the patient. Free flaps have often been used as a last resort reconstructive option in the head and neck because of the need for added technical s...
Revascularization and reimplantation of the upper extremity. 15-year-experience...
Malheiro, E; Serviço de Cirurgia Plástica e Reconstrutiva, Hospital de S. João, Porto.; Amarante, J; Reis, J; Silva, A; Conde, A; Choupina, MProgress in micro or macro replantation has resulted in higher survival rates of formerly amputated parts. More amputated digits or limbs survive because the time of ischemia can be exceeded by using cold storage or perfusion. Homo or heterodigital vessel transposition, expanded indications for vein graft interposition, as well as heterotopic transplantation allow for extremity preservation even in crush injuri...
Microsurgical reconstruction of the upper extremity. Experience with 24 free fl...
Costa, H; Serviço de Cirurgia Plástica e Reconstrutiva, Hospital de S. João, Faculdade de Medicina do Porto.; Pinto, A; Cunha, C; Conde, A; Guimarães, IThe authors present the experience of 24 clinical cases of microsurgical reconstruction of the upper limb. These reconstructions were accomplished by different microvascular free flaps which were selected according to the type, size and location of the defects, having applied fasciocutaneous, adipofascial, myo, myocutaneous, tendofasciocutaneous, omentum flaps and 2nd toe transfers. The etiology was traumatic i...
Utilization of forearm island flaps in reconstructive surgery of the hand. Whic...
Amarante, J; Serviço de Cirurgia Plástica e Reconstrutiva, H.S. João, Faculdade de Medicina UP, Porto.; Reis, J; Santa-Comba, A; Malheiro, EThe authors report their clinical experience after seventy-six forearm island flaps, and analyse the different possible forearm flap options in hand reconstructions. The different flaps-based on the radial, ulnar, interosseous and septocutaneous ulnar vessels-are compared in what, concerns the importance of the sacrificed artery, adverse sequelae of the donor area and their versatility to close large skin defec...
The treatment of burn patients. What are the prospects for the northern area of...
Santa-Comba, A; Serviço de Cirurgia Plástica e Reconstrutiva, H.S. João, Porto.; Amarante, J; Malheiro, EThe AA studied the distribution of age, sex, aetiology, and destiny of the 173 in-patients at the S. João Hospital (Central hospital that has no Burn Unit). In what concerns age, 38.1% are children less than 10 years old; the male/female ratio was 1.7:1. The fire and scalds are the most important aetiology. These findings are similar to those found in other countries (except in the Arabian Countries). Of these ...
