From Esthetic Medicine to Optimizing Reconstructive Outcome: A Feasibility Trial on Secondary Refinement of Fasciocutaneous Anterolateral Thigh Flaps with Cryolipolysis.
[BACKGROUND] Free adipocutaneous anterolateral thigh (ALT) flaps have evolved as workhorse flaps to reconstruct complex, multicompound defects. While coverage is safely achieved, flaps may remain bulky. As a standard of care, flaps are ref…

A Retrospective Comparative Functional and Aesthetic Outcome Study of Muscle versus Cutaneous Free Flaps for Distal Upper Extremity Reconstruction.
[BACKGROUND] Function and cosmesis are crucial in upper extremity reconstruction. Yet, there persists a lack of outcome evaluations, particularly regarding differences between free flap types. [METHODS] In a single-center retrospective a…

A single-center retrospective comparison of Duplex ultrasonography versus audible Doppler regarding anterolateral thigh perforator flap harvest and operative times.
[INTRODUCTION] We reported on the superiority of preoperative Duplex mapping ("Duplex") over audible Dopplers ("Doppler") in anterolateral thigh perforator (ALT) free flaps for upper extremity reconstruction. To corroborate our findings on …

Random-pattern versus perforator-based adipocutaneous skin paddles for postoperative monitoring of free muscle flaps-a comparative retrospective cohort study.
[INTRODUCTION] Free microvascular muscle flaps represent well-established reconstructive options for complex soft tissue defects. However, due to their lack of cutaneous capillary beds, they are difficult to monitor postoperatively. To this…

[Evaluation of secondary refinement procedures following free microvascular tissue reconstruction of the upper extremity].
[BACKGROUND] The primary cosmetic and functional outcome following successful upper limb salvage using free tissue transfer can often be unfavourable, which may motivate patients to undergo secondary procedures. In this study, we sought to…
