Preface

The revolution and evolution in periorbital rejuvenation has had no rival in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery in the past decade. Volumization and fat preservation have led the changes in our approach to the periorbita. It is now almost universally accepted that the full lid and periorbita represent a more youthful and healthy appearance. The evolution in the management of the lower lid started with the mobilization and suspension of the suborbicularis osculi fat (SOOF) and the repositioning of the orbital fat and has progressed to the use of autologous fat and synthetic fillers to address the nasal-jugal groove and shallow periorbita.

Repair of the central slip of extensor tendon and the open mallet using Mitek mini bone anchors

The objective of this study was to describe our technique of using Mitek
bone anchors to repair open mallet and open central slip avulsion injuries, hence evaluating their post-operative outcomes.
Four patients with open mallet injury and ten patients with open central slip avulsions were treated using the Mitek mini
bone anchors. In each case, the extensor tendon was shaved off its point of insertion on the middle or distal phalanx. All
patients were operated in within 2 days of the open injury without any conservative measures pre-operatively. Post-operatively,
the joint was maintained in an extension with a single trans-articular Kirschner wire or splint for 2 weeks, followed by gradual
mobilization and active and passive exercises. Each patient underwent an objective ev…

Evaluation of the Risk of Systemic Fat Mobilization and Fat Embolus Following Liposuction with Dry and Tumescent Technique: An Experimental Study on Rats

In this study we investigated the risk of systemic fat mobilization and fat embolus in rats following liposuction
using dry and tumescent techniques.

Methods  At the end of the procedures, the rats were sacrificed and specimens were obtained from the lungs, kidneys, liver, brain,
and skin. Histological examinations of the specimens were carried out. Liposuction was not performed in the control group
(n = 8), but blood and tissue specimens for histological examinations were obtained.

Results  We found signs of fat embolus in both blood specimens and histological examinations of tissue samples in the study groups.
However, the results of the examinations were normal in the control group. Although there were no fat particles in the blood
before…
