Combining autologous ventral hernia repair using component separation with DIEP breast reconstruction
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-09-02)Concern about flap viability and abdominal wall integrity would normally exclude a patient with a large ventral midline hernia from having a breast reconstruction with a deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap. Ventral hernia repair using the abdominoplasty approach has been reported before. The abdominoplasty flap would normally be discarded. This article presents a unique case of a ... -

The distribution of hand fractures at the university hospital of north Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-06)BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to describe the fracture pattern for hand fractures in the Arctic region of Norway. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using the hospital's radiological information system and picture archiving and communication system all traumatic hand fractures in the year of 2010 were registered. Fractures in the carpal, metacarpal, and phalangeal bones were included in the ... -
Evaluation of dynamic infrared thermography as an alternative to CT angiography for perforator mapping in breast reconstruction: A clinical study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-15)Background: The current gold standard for preoperative perforator mapping in breast reconstruction with a DIEP flap is CT angiography (CTA). Dynamic infrared thermography (DIRT) is an imaging method that does not require ionizing radiation or contrast injection. We evaluated if DIRT could be an alternative to CTA in perforator mapping. Methods: Twenty-five patients scheduled for secondary breast ... -
Imaging in plastic surgery. A clinical and experimental study with notes on the history of medical imaging.
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2013-04-29)This thesis is based on four papers that have imaging techniques used in breast reconstruction as the common denominator. Each paper describes the results of a study. The purpose of the first three studies was to evaluate the use of dynamic infrared thermography (DIRT) as an imaging technique for perforator mapping in breast reconstruction with a deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap. The ... -
Intrathoracic Breast Transposition: A New Method in the Treatment of Bronchopleural Fistula and Empyema
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)A bronchopleural fistula (BF) is a life-threatening complication. Optimal management of a BF is still debated although surgery remains the preferred treatment. Usually, the fistula is a result of inadequate healing at the bronchial stump after pneumonectomy. Successful closure of a BF after pneumonectomy depends on evacuation of empyema, coverage of the suture line after fistula closure with ... -

Perforator-guided drug injection in the treatment of abdominal wall pain
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-25)Background. Pain from the abdominal wall can be caused by nerve entrapment, a condition called abdominal cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES). As an alternative to surgery, ACNES may be treated with injection of local anesthetics, corticosteroids, or botulinum toxin at the point of maximal pain. Method. The point of maximal pain was marked on the abdominal skin. Using color Doppler ultrasound, ... -
Triple use of autologous amnion graft in the treatment of meningomyelocele and split cord malformation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-20)This article describes the triple use of autologous amnion graft as a new procedure in the treatment of myelomeningocele and in myelomeningocele with split cord malformation. The first amnion graft was used as a physical and mechanical barrier to protect the myelomeningocele (MMC) from desiccation and mechanical stress directly after birth. A second graft was used as a dura substitute to close the ... -

Ultrasound-guided Sympathetic Block of the Radial Artery with Botulinum Toxin to Treat Vasospasm
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-12)Summary: Vasospastic disorders in the hand have been treated with surgical sympathectomy and recently with botulinum toxin A (BTX) injections in the palm. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if it is possible to obtain precise administration of BTX around the radial artery using a single ultrasound-guided injection. We present a novel technique using 1 single ultrasound-guided BTX injection ... -

The value of dynamic infrared thermography in pedicled thoracodorsal artery perforator flap surgery
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-15)<p><i>Background:</i> Dynamic infrared thermography (DIRT) is a noninvasive imaging technique that can provide indirect and real-time information on skin perfusion by measuring skin temperature. Although used in flap surgery, there are no reports on its value in procedures using a pedicled thoracodorsal artery perforator (TDAP) flap. The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of DIRT in ... -
Visualising vascular perfusion in isolated human abdominal flaps using dynamic infrared thermography (DIRT) and indocyanine green fluorescence video angiography (ICG-FA)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article; Tidsskriftsartikkel, 2008-10)This experimental study compared the direct technique indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) and the indirect technique dynamic infrared thermography (DIRT) for visualising skin perfusion. Eight isolated human transverse abdominal skin flaps, obtained from female patients undergoing abdominoplasty, were used. A total of 19 selected vessels were individually perfused. Warm and cold ...
