Disease relevance of Surgery, Plastic

• Forty-five healthy patients (30 aged 15-46 yr and 15 aged 58-82 yr) undergoing various types of plastic surgery were studied during deliberate hypotension produced by a combination of ganglion- and beta-blockade, halothane, head-up tilt and positive end expiratory pressure [1].

Psychiatry related information on Surgery, Plastic

• One hundred and three patients scheduled for cosmetic surgery were examined using a structured interview and using three assessment scales: the MADRS (Montgomery and Asberg Depression Rating Scale), the SISST (Social Interaction Self Statement Test) and the EQ-5D (EuroQol) which measures quality of life [6].

High impact information on Surgery, Plastic

• Operation Smile: plastic surgery with few resources [7].

Chemical compound and disease context of Surgery, Plastic

• CONCLUSION: Propofol + fentanyl anaesthesia resulted in a higher incidence of PONV and requirements of antiemetic drugs in the period between 2 and 12 postoperative hours compared with propofol + remifentanil, in patients undergoing plastic surgery [12].

• The use of CO2 laser in plastic surgery and dermatology [18].

Anatomical context of Surgery, Plastic

• The paper shows the advantage of covering the donor site in the forearm with the aid of combination plastic surgery which covers the flexor tendons with muscular fascicles as well as local tissue and split-skin grafts [19].
• During a 4-year period, in the Departments of Plastic Surgery and Vascular Surgery at the Clinical Hospital Centre in Zagreb, 151 upper limb nerve injuries caused by war weapons were treated using microsurgical procedures, and 119 patients have been assessed [20].
• Intravesical instillations of dimethyl sulfoxide, sectional resection or plastic surgery that preserve the urinary tract are used in the rare case of progressive course [21].

Associations of Surgery, Plastic with chemical compounds

• Furthermore, the acustimulation device enhanced the antiemetic efficacy of ondansetron after plastic surgery [22].
• The CO2 laser in plastic surgery [23].
• We compared the clinical efficacy of midazolam with two different ketamine infusion regimens during plastic surgery under local anesthesia [24].
• To determine differences from dose-response and time-course of rocuronium between male and female patients, 60 adult patients (30 male and 30 female), ASA grade I, aged 17-52 yr, undergoing elective plastic surgery were studied [25].
• Individual responses included changes in diet, increased exercise regimes, steroid use and plastic surgery (mainly collagen injections to the face) [26].

Gene context of Surgery, Plastic

• The role of VEGF in the field of plastic surgery is just beginning to be explored; it may someday prove to be very rewarding [27].
