People whose jaw has been damaged due to a tumorou

People whose jaw has been damaged due to a tumorous disease can receive a completely new jawbone at Semmelweis University. The tumor surgery involves removing parts of the jaw – bone, teeth, soft tissue – and replacing the missing parts with a piece of the patient’s own fibula. The procedure uses 3D technology to plan the entire process virtually, which can shorten surgery time, reduce the chance of complications, and improve the accuracy of the end result.
Most commonly used after the removal of malignant tumors of the oral cavity and certain benign tumors, the jaw reconstructive surgery at Semmelweis University can even restore the face and the chewing function to its original state. The surgeries are performed in close collaboration between specialists from two university departments (plastic surgeons and oro-maxillofacial surgeons), who also jointly plan the procedure.

Last photo from left to right: Dr. Tamás Würsching, a specialist at Semmelweis University’s Department of Oro-Maxillofacial Surgery and Stomatology, who is in charge of the 3D planning process; Dr. Sándor Bogdán, Associate Professor and Head of Semmelweis University’s Department of Oro-Maxillofacial Surgery and Stomatology; Dr. Zoltán Klárik, plastic surgeon at Semmelweis University’s Department of Surgery, Transplantation and Gastroenterology.

🎉The Városmajor Heart and Vascular Center reaches another milestone as the structural construction of its new diagnostic block is completed!🎉

🏗The new seven-story building at 70 Városmajor Street has reached its highest point, increasing the useful floor area of the clinic by 50 percent, or around 4,500 m². The builders and owners jointly celebrated this important stage with a topping-out ceremony. Although it will be another year before the construction is completed, the one-and-a-half-fold increase in capacity following the handover will give Semmelweis University a chance to improve its already outstanding global ranking of 31st in cardiovascular medicine and continue serving the patients, medical education, and the scientific world. 🚀💙🤍

The number of labia surgeries has more than double

The number of labia surgeries has more than doubled in the past decade but there are no professional recommendations as to which procedure is the safest and brings optimal results.

A study by Semmelweis University assesses existing and new techniques for genital beautification based on the outcome and patient satisfaction.

Based on the data of nearly 3,600 women the researchers found that, regardless of the technique applied, labia surgery is in general a safe procedure with very low complication rates (0,5%), also in comparison with other cosmetic surgery procedures.

Of all tools reviewed, laser has been associated with the lowest number of complications (bleeding, swelling, haematoma) while classic surgery (using scalpel) has a higher overall complication rate.

Whether or not a labia surgery is justified on medical grounds is subjective. Many women, especially the young, choose to undergo the procedure at their partner’s suggestion therefore it may be necessary to involve psychologists to ensure patients decide for the right reasons, the authors note.

For more on surgical cosmetic enhancement of female outer genitalia see the link on bio.

Semmelweis University has launched a unique cardiac surgery course series!

The novel tissue fixation technique developed at the Department of Anatomy, Histology and Embryology and the equipment realistically mimicking the heartbeat inside the cadaver's chest allowed the participants to practice coronary artery bypass grafting under conditions very similar to those in the operating room. The Interdisciplinary Cadaver Operating Room plans to become a regional training center in cadaver cardiac surgery.
