[BACKGROUND] With robotic microsurgical systems (RMSs) gaining increasing interest in clinical application, user feedback is crucial for their future development. Additionally, understanding the realistic advantages and limitations of RMSs …

Scar tissue formation presents a significant barrier to peripheral nerve recovery in clinical practice. While different experimental methods have been described, there is no clinically available gold standard for its prevention. This study …

Robotic microsurgery is an emerging field in reconstructive surgery, which provides benefits such as improved precision, optimal ergonomics, and reduced tremors. However, only a few robotic platforms are available for performing microsurgic…

[OBJECTIVE] Defect reconstruction of the hand by means of the free medial sural artery perforator (MSAP) flap. [INDICATIONS] Reconstruction of full-thickness defects on the hand with a thin non-bulky flap in cases of exposure of functional…

[BACKGROUND] Robotic-assisted peripheral nerve surgery (RASPN) has emerged as a promising advancement in microsurgery, offering enhanced precision and tremor reduction for nerve coaptations. This study investigated the largest published pat…

[BACKGROUND] Popliteal pterygium syndrome (PPS) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by orofacial, cutaneous, musculoskeletal, and genital anomalies. Surgical interventions are necessary to address the severe knee flexion contracture…

Therapy-resistant neuroma pain is a devastating condition for patients and surgeons. Although various methods are described to surgically deal with neuromas, some discontinuity and stump neuroma therapies have anatomical limitations. It is …

[OBJECTIVE] Durable and resilient soft tissue reconstruction of vast defects of the extremities or the torso. [INDICATIONS] Reconstruction of disproportionately large defects, particularly in cases of simultaneous bone and joint reconstruc…

[BACKGROUND] Peripheral nerve pathology is frequently encountered in clinical practice among peripheral nerve and extremity surgeons. One major factor limiting nerve regeneration and possibly leading to revision surgeries is the development…

Sufficient wound closure of large soft tissue defects remains a challenge for reconstructive surgeons. We aimed to investigate whether combined perforator propeller flaps (PPFs) are suitable to expand reconstructive options. Patients underg…

[INTRODUCTION] Deep sternal wound infections (DSWI) after cardiac surgery pose a significant challenge in reconstructive surgery. In this context, free flaps represent well-established options. The objective of this study was to investigate…

[INTRODUCTION] Hypercoagulability is associated with an increased risk of microvascular complications and free flap failures. The authors present their experience and approach to diagnosing and treating patients with heterozygotic factor V …

Although the involvement of plastic surgery has been deemed important in the treatment of sarcoma patients to avoid oncological compromises and ameliorate patient outcomes, it is not ubiquitously available. The accessibility of defect recon…

(1) Background: Peripheral nerve injuries are severe injuries with potentially devastating impairment of extremity function. Correct and early diagnosis as well as regular regeneration observation is of utmost importance for individualized …

[BACKGROUND]  Risk stratification, economic pressure, and a flat learning curve make the realization and development of proper microsurgical skills and competences a challenging task in the daily clinical practice. In previous studies, we w…

[BACKGROUND] Injuries to the thenar muscle mass or the thenar branch of the median nerve and resulting loss of thumb opposition lead to a massive impairment of hand function. For decades, reconstructive approaches were based on tendon trans…

[OPERATIVE] Reconstruction of thump opposition with selective nerve transfer of the motor branch of the abductor digiti minimi muscle (ADM) to the thenar motor branch. [INDICATIONS] Injury of the median nerve or thenar motor branch and res…

Alomari and colleagues described in 2014 for the first time a distinct combination of vascular malformation, fibrofatty muscular infiltration and contracture which was termed fibroadipose vascular anomaly (FAVA) (J Pediatr Orthoped 34, 109-…

[BACKGROUND]  The primary cosmetic and functional outcome following successful upper limb salvage using free tissue transfer can often be unfavourable, which may motivate patients to undergo secondary procedures. In this study, we sought to…

[INTRODUCTION] A recent survey among plastic surgery residents and directors of microsurgical clinics demonstrates a great interest in high- quality microsurgery education. Unfortunately, due to economic pressures, limited operating resourc…

[INTRODUCTION] Primary functional and aesthetic results after free-flap salvage of lower extremities are occasionally suboptimal. The objective of this study was to identify predictors for secondary refinement procedures such as liposuction…

[BACKGROUND] Microvascular free flaps have become a reliable standard procedure. Due to increasing microsurgical experience in teaching hospitals, residents are getting acquainted with performing free flap surgeries earlier in their trainin…
