    ..Necrotising fasciits is a rapidly progressive disease characterised by extensive necrosis of the fascia, skin, and subcutaneous tissue, with relative sparing of the underlying muscle...

    P J Sullivan
    Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Hand Surgery, University College Hospital, Galway, Ireland
    J Hand Surg Eur Vol 33:513-4. 2008
    ..Surgical experience had little outcome relevance and a 90-second preparation time with either solution was insufficient, with fingers being the sites most commonly missed...
  3. ncbi An inverting circumferential suture for flexor tenorraphy
    P J Sullivan
    Department of Plastic Surgery, National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland
    Hand Surg 16:133-9. 2011
    ..The inverting repair has similar properties to commonly used suturing methods and the conformation creates a smooth inverted repair...

    K M Hirpara
    Department of Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery, Galway Regional Hospitals, Galway, Ireland
    J Hand Surg Eur Vol 34:651-5. 2009
    ..We feel that optimal repair strength is provided using bites 4 mm from the cut tendon ends. Taking bites further from the cut end has no significant benefits and carries the theoretical risk of increasing the work of flexion...

    Br J Surg 96:381-90. 2009
    ..Ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) modulates RI and the innate immune response. This study examined whether IPC attenuates RI-mediated changes in lymphocyte populations and function following elective surgery...
