[BACKGROUND] The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program is a combined perioperative bundle designed to reduce perioperative stress. However, whether these programs are safe and effective for older patients who have undergone free-fl…

[BACKGROUND] Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has shown potential in salvaging compromised flaps, although its application has primarily been focused on local flaps rather than free flaps. [CASE] In this case report, we present the success…

[INTRODUCTION] MTX-LPD is a complication that occurs during MTX treatment. Skin lesions in MTX-LPD are often subcutaneous nodules with occasional necrosis and ulceration. Although MTX-LPD regression is frequently observed upon discontinuati…

This case series aimed to investigate the result of venous end-to-side (ETS) anastomosis in the extremities to contribute to a meta-analysis to evaluate the postoperative complications of venous ETS anastomosis in the extremities. This was …

[BACKGROUND]  Combined revascularization and free flap reconstruction is one treatment method for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) with complex wounds. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the c…

Reconstruction of soft tissue and bone defects in tibia chronic osteomyelitis is challenging and often managed by free flap with bone graft. However, the use of osteocutaneous free flap combined with perforator-to-perforator anastomosis has…

[INTRODUCTION] Sural nerve harvest causes paraesthesia to the lateral heel of the foot, which can debilitate those with already compromised proprioception. To circumvent this, we investigated an alternative donor nerve, branch of the latera…

[OBJECTIVE] Liposuction is the most frequently performed debulking procedure in patients with lymphedema. However, it remains uncertain whether liposuction is equally effective for upper extremity lymphedema (UEL) and lower extremity lymphe…

[OBJECTIVE] Several options for the treatment of lower extremity lymphedema (LEL) can be broadly classified into conservative treatment, such as compression garments and decongestive lymphatic therapy, and surgical treatment, such as lympha…

[UNLABELLED] Facial transplants represent the current exemplar in the reconstruction of severely damaged faces, whereas conventional free flap reconstruction has its limitations in restoring both function and surface cover. [METHODS] In a …

Supermicrosurgery, a technique involving the dissection and anastomosis of small vessels, has revolutionized the field of lymphedema treatment. However, in a lymphatic venous anastomosis, an arduous technique is required to manipulate the 0…

[BACKGROUND]  The impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak shut down most conferences. To minimalize the influence, virtual meetings sprang up subsequently. International Microsurgery Club (IMC), as one of the largest prof…

Several treatment options, including sclerotherapy and surgical excision, are available for the management of cystic lymphangioma. Lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) has recently garnered attention in the field of microsurgery as a minimal…

[BACKGROUND] Free flap surgeries are useful procedures for lower-extremity reconstruction. Recipient vein selection for anastomosis is important to avoid venous congestion and thrombosis. Although deep or superficial venous system can be us…

[BACKGROUND] Free flaps for soft tissue coverage of the lower extremity can be broadly divided into muscle/musculocutaneous and fasciocutaneous flaps. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess their different pos…

Lymphoscintigraphy and indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography reveal the severity of extremity lymphedema. Lower extremity lymphedema (LEL) index and NECST classification are related to the clinical severity of lymphedema. We aimed to investi…

[OBJECTIVE] The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) in patients with lymphedema. [METHODS] A retrospective analysis was conducted of 70 patients suffering from primary or s…

[OBJECTIVE] There is limited information on postoperative care after liposuction for lymphedema limb. The aim of this retrospective study was to identify the threshold compression pressure and other factors that lead liposuction for lower l…

[BACKGROUND] The pathophysiology of lymphoedema is poorly understood. Current treatment options include compression therapy, resection, liposuction and lymphatic microsurgery, but determining the optimal treatment approach for each patient …

[LEARNING OBJECTIVES] After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Define the difference between vascular tumors and malformations. 2. Distinguish between the natural history of hemangiomas and that of vascular malform…

Three cases in which island medial plantar artery perforator flaps were successfully transferred for coverage of the plantar defects are described. This perforator flap is different from the medial plantar flap based on the medial plantar a…

Craniofacial contour deformities are difficult to reconstruct. This article summarizes the authors' use of deep inferior epigastric perforator dermal-fat or adiposal flaps in eight patients with such deformities. Of these patients, three ha…

Pedicled transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flaps have generally been used for bilateral breast losses. The major disadvantages of this method are the total or partial loss of the rectus abdominis muscles and various result…

There are two types of smiling: without exposure of the teeth (usual smile), and with their exposure (square smile). Performance of the former involves use of the major zygomatic muscle, while the latter is created by the major zygomatic an…

"Mosaic" flaps, i.e., connected anteromedial thigh-groin flaps, and connected anterolateral thigh-medial thigh flaps, the pedicles of which are the perforators of the lateral circumflex femoral system, the superficial circumflex iliac vesse…

Our experience with partial or total toe transfers for the reconstruction of finger deficits is presented. Sixty-one toes were transferred to reconstruct finger deficits in 60 patients. The transfers from the big toe consisted of 3 vascular…
