Carotid Blowout Syndrome in Head and Neck Cancer Patients after Free Flap Reconstruction.
Carotid blowout syndrome (CBS) is a rare but potentially fatal complication in head and neck cancer patients who have undergone free flap reconstruction and/or radiotherapy. This review examines CBS, with incidence ranging from 0.5-0.9% in …

A Dual-Layer Flap Preparation Approach Utilizing External Coronally Advanced Flap and Internal Trapdoor Periosteal Flap for Endodontic Microsurgery in the Esthetic Zone: Technique and Case Report.
Endodontic microsurgery (EMS) is often utilized to surgically treat teeth with persistent endodontic lesions when conventional non-surgical endodontic treatments have been unsuccessful. However, EMS with conventional techniques may result i…

Airway Management Following Head and Neck Microvascular Reconstruction: When is a Tracheostomy Necessary?
Head and neck free flap reconstruction presents complex airway challenges due to postoperative swelling, bleeding, and anatomical distortion that can jeopardize breathing. Many centers once performed routine prophylactic tracheostomy for ma…

Utilization of Recipient Veins with Reflux during Supermicrosurgical Lymphaticovenous Anastomosis for Lower Limb Lymphedema.
[BACKGROUND] The use of recipient veins with venous reflux for lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) is discouraged because it is commonly believed that this may lead to venous-lymphatic reflux (VLR). VLR is a phenomenon in which venous blood …

Linking Lymphedema, Chronic Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, Alzheimer Disease, and Potential Role of Lymphaticovenous Anastomosis.
[BACKGROUND] Lymphedema and Alzheimer disease (AD) share common mechanisms involving oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. However, the link between these 2 conditions and the impact of lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) has not been f…

Groin-only lymphaticovenous anastomosis: a paradigm shift for lower extremity lymphedema - a prospective cohort propensity-score matched analysis.
[BACKGROUND] Based on the recent advancement in the concepts of lymphosome and the use of antegrade lymph flow, shifting lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) more proximally to the groin region for lower extremity lymphedema (LEL) offers theo…

Edge De-epithelialization for Reducing Pharyngocutaneous Fistula in Patch Free Flap Reconstructions for Salvage Total Laryngectomy Defects: A Case-Control Study.
[BACKGROUND] The leakage of saliva through the deep neck region from a pharyngocutaneous fistula could cause devastating complications, including vascular ruptures leading to mortality. While a partial pharyngoesophageal defect is created a…

The Multiple-U Technique: A Novel Microvascular Anastomosis Technique That Guarantees Everted Anastomosis Sites with Solid Intima-to-Intima Contact.
The key to successful microvascular anastomosis is achieving intima-to-intima contact, which is not always easy. In this article, the authors propose the multiple-U technique, which is a novel microvascular anastomosis technique that charac…

Increased Angiogenesis by Exosomes Secreted by Adipose-Derived Stem Cells upon Lipopolysaccharide Stimulation.
Exosomes secreted by adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) enhance angiogenesis and wound healing. However, in clinical settings, wounds may be infected by various bacteria or pathogens. We investigated whether human ADSCs stimulated with lipo…

Risk factors associated with postoperative complications of free anterolateral thigh flap placement in patients with head and neck cancer: Analysis of propensity score-matched cohorts.
[BACKGROUND] From the perspective of a surgeon, knowledge of the operative risk factors that may affect postoperative outcomes is important in free anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap reconstruction for head and neck defects after tumor ablation…

Combined Use of Liposuction and Arthroscopic Shaving for Delayed Debulking of Free Flaps in Head and Neck Reconstruction.
[BACKGROUND] Bulky appearance after free flap reconstruction in patients with head and neck cancer is common and requires revision to achieve improved final outcomes. Although different delayed debulking methods have been reported, the proc…
