Re-Vision of Geometric Flap Design in Lower Limb Reconstruction: A Comparative Analysis on Perforator Enhancement.
Perforator flaps improved the reconstruction paradigm in the lower extremity, increasing coverage possibilities. This study aims to quantify how added perforators could enhance standard geometrical patterns (compared to random flaps). A to…

From Palliation After Angiosarcoma Resection to Totally Autologous Aesthetic Breast Reconstruction Combining Kiss Latissimus Dorsi Flap and Contralateral Breast Sharing Internal Mammary Artery Perforator Flap: A Case Report.
Angiosarcoma of the breast is a rare but aggressive disease that often requires wide-margin resection resulting in massive thoracic defects. In this report we present the unique case of a patient who underwent primary chest wall reconstruct…

Chimeric anterolateral thigh-vastus lateralis free flap with propeller skin island for functional quadriceps reconstruction.
[INTRODUCTION] Soft-tissue sarcomas arising in the thigh may require total or subtotal compartmentectomy, with subsequent need for functional reconstruction with free functional muscle transfer (FFMT). We present our series, describing a ne…

Maximizing Aesthetic Outcomes in Delayed Breast Reconstruction: the Be.A.U.T-I.F.U.L. DIEP Step-by-Step Inset Technique.
[INTRODUCTION] In microvascular breast reconstruction, the focus has shifted to achieving aesthetically pleasing results. Delayed breast reconstruction poses challenges such as ensuring natural ptosis and avoiding a "patch" effect. The Be.A…

The Management of Mild Skin Laxity in Post-Gravidic Diastasis Recti: A Retrospective Cohort Study Comparing Mini-Inverted-T and Mini-Abdominoplasty With BODY-Q.
[INTRODUCTION] Post-gravidic diastasis recti is corrected with conventional abdominoplasty in patients with adequate skin laxity. For unsuitable patients, other procedures are considered. [METHODS] A retrospective review was conducted on p…

Aesthetic use of recycled perforator flaps to correct contour deformities during abdominoplasty procedures.
[INTRODUCTION] Pedicled perforator flaps can be used not only in reconstructive scenarios but also for aesthetic purposes, thereby enhancing both the aesthetics and functionality of the treated area. The authors present two representative c…

Rectus Abdominis Fascia Plication Within DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction: Impact on Abdominal Wall Morbidity and Patient Satisfaction Evaluated with the BREAST-Q.
: The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is the gold standard for autologous breast reconstruction, but donor site morbidity, such as abdominal bulging, remains a concern. Rectus fascia plication is a recognized treatment for r…
-
Thigh reconstruction between form and function: An algorithm for flap selection based on a series of 70 oncological patients.
[INTRODUCTION] Thigh reconstruction after oncological resection represents a challenge in terms of ideal morphological and functional outcomes to aim for. Very few papers presented a comprehensive approach to this topic, most of them being …
-
"Extra-anatomical Pedicle Rerouting" An alternative technique to obtain new recipient vessels for microsurgical reconstruction in unfavorable clinical situations.
[BACKGROUND] Lack of adequate recipient vessels in certain anatomically unfavorable locations or in complex clinical situations is still a limitation to successful microsurgical transfer. To address such complex cases, advanced microsurgica…

Lower Abdominal vs. Lateral Thigh Perforator Flaps in Microsurgical Sarcoma Reconstruction: The Aesthetics of Donor Site Matters.
Sarcoma resection often leaves patients with big defects only amenable through microsurgical reconstruction. In such cases, it is hard for the surgeon to uphold low donor-site morbidity with an aesthetic result. The purpose of this study wa…

From Angiosomal to Bi-Angiosomal and Extra-Angiosomal Pedicled Perforator Flaps: Optimizing the Use of Local Tissues in Abdominal Wall Reconstruction.
[INTRODUCTION] The use of free-style and propeller perforator-based flaps has been popularized for the reconstruction of moderate size defects in the trunk and extremities, while their application in the field of abdominal reconstruction is…
-
Postmastectomy Radiation Therapy in the Setting of Two-Stage Retropectoral Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction: Should It be Delivered Before or After Implant Exchange? A Retrospective Analysis on 183 Patients.
[INTRODUCTION] Postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) has a primary role in the treatment of locally advanced breast cancer; however, the most appropriate timing of irradiation in immediate tissue expander breast reconstruction (ITEBR) sti…
-
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…
-
Versatility of the lateral circumflex femoral artery sparing perforator-based anterolateral thigh flaps in loco-regional thigh reconstruction after skin cancer, melanoma, and sarcoma resection.
[BACKGROUND] The anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap represents a workhorse in reconstructive microsurgery but its use in a free style fashion as perforator-based flap has yet to be popularized. We describe our experience with lateral circumflex…
