AI-generated Abstract

The paper discusses the surgical anatomy and techniques associated with various procedures, with particular emphasis on the anatomy of the scalp, including its vascular, lymphatic, and nerve supplies. It presents detailed insights into the blood supply of the scalp, highlighting the important arterial branches and their anastomoses, as well as the implications for surgical procedures. Additionally, the paper outlines techniques for surgical interventions, positioning, and considerations necessary for effective outcomes.

Much debate centers around the classification of the congenital short esophagus. Three conditions must be considered. (1) In the grossly normal esophagus, the lower portion of the esophagus is lined by gastric mucosa (Barrett esophagus). This may be described also as heterotopic gastric mucosa. (2) In the irreducible partially supradiaphragmatic true stomach, the stomach has herniated into the thorax through an enlarged diaphragmatic esophageal hiatus and become fixed. This is true fixed hiatus hernia. (3) Partially supradiaphragmatic true stomach

In: Skandalakis JE and Gray SW. Embryology for Surgeons, 2nd ed. Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins, 1994.) When present, Meckel’s diverticulum arises from the antimesenteric surface of the ileum approximately 40 cm from the ileocecal valve in infants and approxi- mately 50 cm from the valve in adults; it may be less than 15 cm or as much as 167 cm from the valve (Fig. 10.5). Not less than 2 meters of ileum should be inspected to be sure that a diverticulum has not been overlooked. The diverticu- lum may be as short as 1 cm or as long as 26 cm: in 75 percent of individuals it will be from | to 5 cm; the rest will be longer.

Step 1. Choice of incision is up to the surgeon. We prefer McBurney (Fig. 11.3 considered. When the cecum has been identified, one of the teniae coli can be traced downward to the base of the appendix. In spite of the great mobility of the tip, the base of the appendix always arises from the cecum at the convergence of the teniae. In exposing a deeply buried retrocecal appendix, it may be necessary to incise the posterior peritoneum lateral to the cecum. Congenital absence of the appendix is too rare to be considered seriously, but its apparent absence may be the result of intussusception. In such a case, there should be an obvious dimple at the normal site of the appendix. Of course, the surgeon should inspect the abdomen for signs of previous operation. [ a eee | FF ia.)

The stoma is located at the lower descending colon or at a loop of the upper sig- moid colon. Good mobilization is essential, especially when the stoma is at the lower descending colon or at the iliac part of the sigmoid colon. The mesenteric root should be incised very carefully to avoid bleeding, which would jeopardize the vitality of the bowel. The procedures of end colostomy are the same as in left colectomy, except that the proximal end is secured to a skin opening and the distal loop is reinserted into the peritoneal cavity.

The lymphatics of the adrenal gland are usually said to consist of a profuse subcapsular plexus that drains with the arteries and a medullary plexus that drains with the adrenal veins. Drainage is to renal hilar nodes, lateral aortic nodes, and nodes of the posterior mediastinum above the diaphragm by way of the diaphragmatic orifices for the splanchnic nerves (Fig. 16.3). Lymphatics from the upper pole of the right adrenal gland may enter the liver. The major- ity of capsular lymphatic vessels pass directly to the thoracic duct without the intervention of lymph nodes.

Key takeaways

The nerve may pass anterior or posterior to the artery, or between its branches (Fig. 2.16 ).
The ligament contains the following structures: left gastric artery and vein; hepatic division of left vagus trunk; lymph nodes; occasionally, both vagal trunks; occasionally, branches of the right gastric artery and vein; the left hepatic artery when it arises from the left gastric artery (in 23 percent of cases).
The portal vein lies behind the pancreas and in front of the inferior vena cava, with the common bile duct on the right and the common hepatic artery on the left.
In this ligament, the proper hepatic artery lies to the left of the common bile and hepatic ducts and anterior to the portal vein.
The external iliac artery becomes the common femoral artery as it emanates from a point under the middle of the inguinal ligament.

The microsurgical replantation of seven complete scalp avulsions: Is one artery sufficient?

Hà Chi Nguyễn

Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, 2012

Background: Total scalp avulsion is a rare and devastating event. Microsurgical replantation is the sole method to achieve an ideal cosmetic outcome. In the literature, most studies have reviewed limited sample sizes. Most authors report better outcomes when a greater number of microvascular anastomoses are used. This strategy remains controversial, as some authors have suggested that one artery may be sufficient. Methods: From 2005 to 2008, seven patients who sustained scalp avulsion underwent microsurgical replantation. All of the vascular anastomoses were made with a branch of the superficial temporal artery. We did not use vein grafts. The ischaemia time was 4e16 h. Results: In six cases, a single artery and one to two veins were anastomosed; in another case, two arteries and three veins were anastomosed. Six of the seven scalp replantations were successful and achieved normal hair regrowth. In five of the six successful cases, we performed a single-artery anastomosis. Conclusion: Scalp avulsion is rare around the world but occurs relatively frequently in our country due to the lack of safe and secure working conditions in agriculture and industry. In cases where multiple arterial anastomoses are not possible, the present findings suggest that one branch of the superficial temporal artery may be sufficient to reperfuse the replanted scalp and achieve excellent aesthetic results.

Single artery replantation of totally avulsed scalp

Batia Yaffe

Injury, 1993

The freafmenf of choice for the avulsed scalp is microvascular replanfafion. Affer replanfafion there are numerous arterial anasfomoses, with venous congestion. UstMlly an effort to establish it&w through fwo arferial anasfomoses is made. We elected to anasfotnose one artery and mulfipk veins in each of our pafienfs. We present three consecufive successful replanfafions of total scalp au&on, using only one arterial anasfomosis, and mulfiple veins. Surprisingly, fwo of the patients regained their abilify to elevate fheir eyebrows actively.

Total scalp replantation based on one artery and one vein

Grahame Larkin

Microsurgery, 1993

A successful replantation of a totally avulsed scalp. including both eyebrows, with only one arterial and one venous anastomosis to the superficial temporal vessels is described. Apart from a small partial skin necrosis of the right eyebrow, the entire transplant survived. Subsequently, the patient required only minor additional skin grafting, correction of scars hair micrografts. Replantation of the total scalp based on two or more vessels has previously been recommended and reported elsewhere. In the present case, complete survival of the scalp on only one artery and one vein was demonstrated, indicating that replantation should be considered even if available vessels for anastomosis are minimal. 8 1993 Wiley-uss.

Facial layers of the scalp. A study of 48 cadaveric dissections

H. Abul-Hassan

Surgical and …, 1992

The arrangement and structure of the fascial layers of the scalp were studied in 48 red neoprene latex-injected cadavers with the aid of an operating microscope. The galea aponeurotica was continuous with a superficial temporal fascia. Deep to the galea, the subaponeurotic connective tissue was bilaminar. There was an outer, vascular, areolar layer, and an inner, avascular, membranous layer. Underlying the temporalis muscle, the pericranium was thinner and more adherent than elsewhere with no subpericranial tissue.

Two cases of scalp reimplantation based on one artery and one vein with interposed vein grafts

M. Governa

European Journal of Plastic Surgery, 1997

The authors report their experience in successful reimplantation of avulsed scalp in two patients with one arterial and one venous anastomosis to the superficial temporal vessels. In both cases a double vein graft, harvested from the dorsum of the hand, was interposed between the pedicle of the scalp and the recipient temporal vessels to avoid tension after trimming of the damaged segments. Scalp replantation based on two or more vessels has previously been reported in the literature. In the present cases, the complete survival of the scalp on only a single vascular pedicle suggests that replantation should be considered also when the available vessels for the anastomosis are few. Moreover, even if these reconstructions are lengthy, a prolonged ischemic interval does not appear to be a significantly limiting factor for the success of the revascularization. The cosmetic and psychological success of these cases lend support to the idea that one should always attempt a microvascular replantation of avulsed scalps.

Microvascular approach to scalp replantation and reconstruction: A thirty-six year experience

Fernando Herrera

Microsurgery, 2012

Background: Soft tissue defects of the scalp may result from multiple etiologies and can be challenging to reconstruct. We discuss our experience with scalp replantation and secondary microvascular reconstruction over 36 years, including techniques pioneered at our institution with twin-twin scalp allotransplant and innervated partial superior latissimus dorsi (LD) for scalp/frontalis loss. Methods: A retrospective review of all patients presenting with scalp loss requiring microvascular reconstruction at a single center was performed from January 1971 to January 2007. Medical records were reviewed for age, gender, defect size/location, etiology, type of reconstruction, recipient vessels used, vein grafts, and complications. Results: Thirty-three patients were identified; mean age was 33 years (range, 7-79). Mean scalp defect size was 442 cm 2 (range, 120-900 cm 2). Thirty-six microvascular reconstructions were performed; of these, 10 scalp replants and 26 microvascular tissue transfers. Of these 26, 17 were LD based (partial superior LD with and without reinnervation, LD combined with serratus, LD combined with parascapular, LD combined with split rib, LD only) and 2 free scalp allotransplant among others. The superficial temporal artery and vein was used as recipient vessels in 70% of cases. Overall, microvascular success rate was 92%; complications occurred in 14 cases, nine major (tumor recurrence [n 5 2], partial flap loss [n 5 2], replant loss [n 5 3, size <300 cm 2 ], hematoma [n 5 2]) and five minor (donor site seroma /hematoma [n 5 3], flap congestion [n 5 1], superficial wound infection [n 5 1]). Conclusions: Every attempt should be made at scalp replantation when the patient is stable and the parts salvageable. Larger avulsion defects had higher success rates after replantation than smaller defects (<300 cm 2), with the superficial temporal artery and vein most commonly used for recipient vessels (P 5 0.0083). Microvascular tissue transfer remains a mainstay of treatment for scalp defects, with LD-based flaps, demonstrating excellent versatility for a range of defects. V V

An Anatomical Study of the Facial Artery Un Estudio Anatómico de la Arteria Facial

Kristen Niemann

2019

The facial artery (a branch of the external carotid artery) is the main artery of the face. It gives rise to seven branches viz. inferior labial, superior labial, inferior alar, superior alar, lateral nasal and angular arteries, which are variable. This study included a dissection of twenty embalmed adult cadaveric head and neck specimens. The parameters of origin, branching patterns, termination and variations were analysed and compared with sex and laterality. The facial artery followed the standard anatomical description of origin in 84.62 % of the sample. Variations: (i) origin as a linguofacial trunk in 12.82 % and (ii) high origin in 2.56 % was observed. Male specimens displayed a higher number of linguofacial trunk origins (7.69 %). The branching patterns of the facial artery was classified into six types, with subtypes for Types 1 and 2. Subtype 1-A (standard anatomical description with early termination) occurred in most of the sample (46.15 %). Males were found to have more variations in branching patterns than females (48.72 % and 41.03 % respectively). Termination of the facial artery was as follows: inferior labial artery (5.13 %), superior labial artery (10.26 %), inferior alar artery (10.26 %), superior alar artery (46.15 %), lateral nasal artery (5.13 %), and angular artery (20.51 %). A single case (2.56 %) of an abortive artery was noted. Statistical analysis showed that sex was independent of each parameter observed in this study. Anatomical knowledge of the facial artery is of importance to clinicians and surgeons during procedures such as musculomucosal, island flaps and aesthetic dermatology.
