[BACKGROUND] Microvascular free tissue transfer is a key technique in reconstructive surgery, enabling functional and aesthetic restoration of complex defects. While initial flap survival relies on the vascular pedicle, some flaps may becom…

[BACKGROUND] Madelung's disease (MD) is a rare disorder with progressive, symmetric, non-encapsulated adipose deposition, predominantly in the cervicothoracic region. Surgery, lipectomy, liposuction, or combined procedures is the main treat…

[BACKGROUND] The American Society of Plastic Surgeons guidelines emphasize the need for additional evidence regarding perioperative glycemic control in patients with diabetes undergoing breast reduction surgery. This study evaluates the ass…

[BACKGROUND] Although extended operative duration increases risks in other surgeries, its impact on breast reduction outcomes remains unclear. This retrospective cohort study investigated the relationship between operative time and postoper…

[BACKGROUND] Robotic-assisted surgery is increasingly incorporated into facial plastic and reconstructive surgery (FPRS) procedures. However, the extent to which robotics improves operative performance or clinical outcomes in FPRS remains u…

[BACKGROUND] Vascularization of the distal latissimus dorsi (LD) muscle flap determines the success of the procedure, particularly in large defects. Failure due to distal flap necrosis can necessitate reoperation and increase mortality. Ind…

[INTRODUCTION] Abdominoplasty and breast surgery are popular cosmetic procedures, often performed as stand-alone or combined procedures. However, the safety of combining these surgeries remains poorly understood. [METHODS] We analyzed data…

[INTRODUCTION] Significant morbidity and mortality are hallmarks of the functional decline seen in physically frail patients. The modified frailty index 5 (mFI-5) represents a risk predictor score that has been validated as a comorbidity-ba…

[BACKGROUND] Breast augmentation ranks among the most popular plastic surgery procedures. Yet, reports on post-operative patient-reported quality of life (QoL) and satisfaction remain conflicting. [METHODS] A systematic review was conducte…

[BACKGROUND] The increasing demand and changing trends in rhinoplasty surgery emphasize the need for effective doctor-patient communication, for which Artificial Intelligence (AI) could be a valuable tool in managing patient expectations du…

[BACKGROUND]  Free adipocutaneous anterolateral thigh (ALT) flaps have evolved as workhorse flaps to reconstruct complex, multicompound defects. While coverage is safely achieved, flaps may remain bulky. As a standard of care, flaps are ref…

[BACKGROUND] The BREAST-Q questionnaire reduction module is an established tool for outcomes after reduction mammoplasty. [OBJECTIVES] This systematic review and meta-analysis assess key parameters affecting pre- and postoperative scores, …

[OBJECTIVE] Despite the popularity of rhinoplasty, outcome research has been mainly limited to single-surgeon or single-institution reports. Therefore, we performed a multi-institutional analysis to present a broader portrait of the postope…

[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…

[BACKGROUND] Evidence of widespread disparities in healthcare for racial and ethnic minorities is well documented. This study aims to evaluate differences in surgical outcomes after breast reduction surgery (BRS) according to patients' ethn…

[BACKGROUND] Compromised lower limb perfusion due to vascular changes such as peripheral artery disease impedes wound healing and may lead to large-scale tissue defects and lower limb amputation. In such patients with defects and compromise…

Microsurgical free flap reconstruction in acute burn care offers the option of reconstructing even challenging defects in a single stage procedure. Due to altered rheological and hemodynamic conditions in severely burned patients, it bears …

[INTRODUCTION] Severe thermal trauma to the hand can result in major impairment and reduced function due to defective healing or even extremity loss. Full-thickness injuries frequently incur exposure of tendons or bone and require an early …

[BACKGROUND] Surgical learning curves reflect the trainee's rate of progress in gaining skills and competence for new procedures. Complex interventions such as free tissue transfers, with various linked skills and competences, transferred t…

Modern surgery demands high-quality and reproducibility. Due to new working directives, resident duty hours have been restricted and evidence exists that pure on-the-job training provides insufficient exposure. We hypothesize that supplemen…

We report the case of a 67-year old male with necrotizing fasciitis after injection of the glenohumeral joint. After extensive debridement a massive defect from the left hip joint to the left upper arm, exposing ribs, scapula, axillary vess…

The treatment of complex injuries of the lower extremities in geriatric and/or multimorbid patients requires optimized preoperative and perioperative management as well as differentiated and interdisciplinary surgical approaches. Timely and…

Benign symmetric lipomatosis (Madelung's disease) is a rare disorder of fat metabolism that is characterized by progressive symmetrical formation of unencapsulated and painless excess fat masses around the neck and trunk that result in cosm…

[BACKGROUND] Lower T-junction wound dehiscence following breast reduction surgery or mastopexy constitutes a vexing and grievous complication both to the surgeon and the patient. Treatment modalities that can expedite wound healing and reep…
