[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…

[BACKGROUND] Pseudarthrosis can develop as a complication after conservative or operative fracture treatment and after elective orthopedic surgery. The treatment is challenging and is made more difficult when accompanied by large soft tissu…

[BACKGROUND] Extensive lower extremity soft-tissue defects pose a reconstructive challenge. We present our experience with the conjoined parascapular and latissimus dorsi (CPLD) free flap. [METHODS] From October 2008 to October 2017, 69 pa…

[BACKGROUND]  Reliable perfusion of the distal portions of free flaps is decisive for the reconstructive success. Indocyanine green near-infrared video angiography (ICG-NIR-VA) has been adopted for objective assessment of free flap tissue p…

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…

Arteriovenous (AV) fistulas for hemodialysis can lead to cardiac volume loading and increased serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels. Whether short-term AV loop placement in patients undergoing microsurgery has an impact on cardiac bi…

[BACKGROUND]  The loss of a breast, and thus of the female body shape, is often extremely traumatising for women affected. Although free flap grafts have become the gold standard in reconstructive breast surgery, it has not been possible to…

[BACKGROUND] Irradiation therapy is an important pillar in the treatment of breast cancer. However, it can trigger capsular fibrosis, the most significant complication of implant-based breast reconstruction. As collagen is the main componen…

[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…

Plastic and reconstructive surgery is characterized by a high degree of interdisciplinarity. Although Plastic surgery offers a wide range of reliable surgical treatment options independent departments for plastic and reconstructive surgery …

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…

[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…

[AIMS] Reconstruction of breasts and chest wall deformities in female patients after severe burn injury is a challenge for reconstructive surgeons. In these patients, neither implant-based procedures nor standard free flaps are sometimes ap…

During the last two decades, understanding and experience of microsurgical reconstruction have increased. This is linked to improved instruments and technical devices, as well as to the increased number of available donor sites for microvas…

[BACKGROUND] Scientific publications are the cornerstone of scholarly activities. The importance of appropriately assigned authorship cannot be overstated. Hence, we felt it prudent to examine the perception of plastic surgery trainees rega…

[INTRODUCTION] This report serves to publicize the research of academic institutions for Plastic Surgery within our society DGPRÄC in 2017/2018 and sequels the funding report of 2015/2016. Applications to public, non-public, or industrial f…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture remains the most frequent long-term complication after augmentation mammoplasty with silicone implants. Thereby, the main part of the fibrotic capsule is collagen. The collagenase of the bacterium Clostridi…

[BACKGROUND] The fibrotic capsule that surrounds silicone implants consists mainly of collagen. The FDA-approved collagenase of the bacterium clostridium histolyticum provides a reasonable treatment option. Safety and efficacy at the female…

[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…

Autologous fat transfer has recently become an increasingly popular surgical procedure and comprises harvesting, processing and transplantation of adipose tissue, as well as professional follow-up care. This method, as a surgical procedure,…

In addition to the impact factor, research funding also plays a central role in evaluating the academic performance and quality of a researcher, a clinic or a surgical specialty. The scope and quality of research in Plastic Surgery are usua…

[PURPOSE] Capsular contracture is the most frequent long-term complication after implant-based breast reconstruction or augmentation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of implant surface properties on fibrotic capsule formati…

[BACKGROUND] The main part of the fibrotic capsule in capsular contracture is collagen. The collagenase of the bacterium Clostridium histolyticum is U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved for the treatment of Dupuytren contracture and m…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture remains a hitherto unsolved complication after implantation of silicone gel-filled breast prostheses. Based on clinical and experimental data, the use of an acellular dermal matrix as a sheath around implan…

Recruitment problems in surgical disciplines have become an increasingly debated topic. On the one hand current career prospects appear to be less attractive than those were seen for the previous generation. On the other hand the demands fo…

[BACKGROUND] Although multiple strategies for autologous breast reconstruction exist, a vertical midline scar in the abdominal wall as a result of previous laparatomy or abdominoplasty represents a major surgical challenge. To date, little …

[BACKGROUND] Malnutrition and overweight is a common problem in modern societies. Primary abdominal lipectomy is a standard surgical tool in patients with these problems. However, unknown secondary problems result from recent advances in ob…

There is still sparse information published about the surgical correction of female funnel chest deformity. Women with severe asymmetric funnel chest deformity often present with asymmetric, hypoplastic breasts. These patients frequently co…

Since the implementation and use of silicone implants in breast surgery the risks are published and discussed. Especially, the incidence of late silicone implant rupture and its potential risk to induce local siliconomas are still under dis…
