The aim of this study was to characterize and compare the morphological and histomorphometric characteristics of the pectoral fascia, fascia lata and ventral rectus sheath. Twenty cadaveric samples of these fascias were analyzed and... more
To asses the functional results and complications of Mersilene mesh as an alternative to autogenous fascia lata in the management of low function ptosis. In a randomized clinical trial, 31 eyelids with poor levator function were operated... more
Several materials have been injected or introduced in the vocal folds in attempt of solving the glottic insufficiency. However, few studies have evaluated the cicatricial process due to the implantation of these materials. The objective... more
We present a series of urethral erosion following a pubovaginal sling procedure due to synthetic and nonsynthetic materials and discuss their management and continence outcome. During a 3-year period 57 patients underwent urethrolysis for... more
Background Most abdominal wall defects can be repaired with a mesh, components separation technique or pedicle flaps, but a free flap reconstruction might be the only option for large epigastric or non-midline defects. This retrospective... more
