Abstract
The surgical plane is a plane of dissection that can be used to excise a tumor while preserving most of the neurovascular structures. The majority of skin tumors are situated on the head and neck, and dermatologic surgeons should therefore have detailed knowledge of the surgical anatomy of this regio...

Abstract
We observed superior polar renal artery in 22.6% cases. Superior polar renal arteries had different sources of origin. In 10.7% of cases it came directly from the abdominal aorta as an accessory renal artery; in 5.4% of cases as a direct branch from the main renal artery; in 3.6% of cases from the s...

Abstract
The carotid bifurcation can occur as high as the hyoid bone, or as low as the cricoid cartilage. The anteromedial position of the external carotid artery (ECA) in relation to the internal carotid artery (ICA) was the most common anatomical position. The origins and configurations of the ascending ph...

Abstract
A "composite" type subplatysmal dissection with lateral advancement of the platysma-skin flap to lift the neck during rhytidectomy has been advocated by several authors. However, the limited subplatysmal dissection described in these techniques restricts the degree of mobilization of the flap. There...
