Prophylactic Venous Supercharging in Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery Perforator Flap Surgery: A Retrospective Dual-Center Study.
[BACKGROUND] Deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap is nowadays considered the gold standard in breast reconstruction. However, venous congestion is still a leading cause of free flap failure. Despite the conspicuous articl…

Clinical impact of closed-incision negative-pressure therapy in DIEP flap breast reconstruction's donor site.
The donor-site wound from deep inferior epigastric perforator flap breast reconstruction differs from abdominoplasty due to higher positioning and tension, potentially affecting healing. Closed-incision negative-pressure therapy has been pr…

Septum-Based Augmentation Mastopexy for Moderate to Severe Ptosis in Medium-to-Large Breasts: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
[BACKGROUND] Augmentation mastopexy is complex due to the biomechanical conflict between lifting ptotic tissue and introducing volume with implants. In medium-to-large breasts or in patients with poor tissue quality, the imbalance between n…

Retrospective Analysis of Predictive Factors for Complications in Abdominoplasty in Massive Weight Loss Patients.
[INTRODUCTION] Ex-obese patients present with redundancy of abdominal skin and soft tissue due to massive weight loss (MWL). The plastic surgeon can restore the body shape through body contouring procedures. Hence the need to adequately dir…

An Original Approach to Massive Weight Loss Deformities in the Lower Thigh: A Retrospective Assessment of Results and Patients' Satisfaction.
[INTRODUCTION] Massive weight loss (MWL) patients present skin and soft-tissue laxity and ptosis involving inner thighs. Previous efforts were focused on the upper two thirds of the thigh, while literature has never dealt specifically with …

Extended latissimus dorsi flap with propeller ascending design for reconstruction of a complex lateral lumbar defect: A case report and review of the literature.
Lateral lumbar defects are rarely encountered and difficult to manage because of the limited reach of loco-regional flaps and the unfavorable position of recipient vessels for microsurgical transfer. The purpose of this report is to describ…

Deep inferior epigastric perforator flap preoperative planning: A comparative analysis between dynamic infrared thermography, computerized tomography angiography, and hand-held Doppler.
[INTRODUCTION] Hand-held Doppler (HHD) sonography and computerized tomography angiography (CTA) are the common assessment tools for deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap preoperative planning. CTA is considered the gold standard m…

Puboplasty as an integral step in massive weight loss abdominal contouring: a retrospective assessment of results, stability, and patients' satisfaction.
Ex-obese patients complain about abdomen and pubis deformities following massive weight loss, due to skin and soft tissue redundancy. Abdominoplasty is often the first corrective procedure performed, but residual mons pubis deformities may …

Combining traditional and microsurgical reconstruction after a complex hand trauma with multiple tissue defects. A case report.
Complex injuries involving bones, tendons and soft tissues of the hand still represent a difficult challenge for reconstructive surgeons. Hereby, we present a case of a man suffering from a complex crush injury of the right hand that led to…

The Posterior Arm Flap for Reshaping the Postbariatric Breast.
[UNLABELLED] Postbariatric surgery, either by itself or in association with other procedures, tries to correct physical defects and body deformities. Because of the intrinsic complexity of massive weight loss (MWL) patients, more than a sin…
