Modified iliac bone harvesting--morbidity and patients' experience.

30 Jul 2009 PURPOSE: The aim of the present retrospective study was to evaluate the postoperative morbidity and patients' satisfaction after harvesting a bicortical bone graft from the anterior iliac wing using a modified surgical technique. MATERIALS AND ... Read more...

Factors affecting seroma formation after mastectomy with full axillary dissection.

29 Jun 2009 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Seroma formation is the most common complication after breast cancer surgery, especially when axillary dissection is performed. This clinical research was undertaken to identify factors that predict the development of ... Read more...

In vitro evaluation of the permeability of prosthetic meshes as the possible cause of postoperative seroma formation.

Jun 2009 INTRODUCTION: Seroma formation is one of the most common post operative complications related to abdominal wall hernia repairs with mesh. We hypothesized that the different biomaterials used to construct commonly used prosthetic mesh may influence ... Read more...
