Microsurgical reconstruction is often first-line treatment in trauma cases, yet its role in burn reconstruction remains inconsistent, despite comparable injury complexity and resuscitation demands. While literature suggests mixed outcomes f…

[BACKGROUND] Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) has been used in reconstructive microsurgery since the inception of the field. However, when compared to placebo groups, its efficacy is not confirmed. In our study, we hypothesize that the utility of…

Mangled upper-extremity injuries represent composite tissue injuries that threaten the viability or function of the limb. Successful reconstruction is critical to both the patient's mental and physical well-being, and early soft tissue cove…

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a significant complication following deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction. The optimal duration of chemoprophylaxis remains debated, with differing recommendations on s…

[BACKGROUND] The use of microsurgery remains extremely limited in burn management despite offering an alternative in cases where conventional burn reconstruction techniques fall short. This systematic review aims to evaluate the success of …

To improve patient outcomes amid reduced healthcare resources during the COVID-19 pandemic, a single Canadian cancer center implemented an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol for autologous DIEP flap breast reconstruction. This…

[BACKGROUND] Secondary lymphedema is a debilitating condition following oncologic lymphadenectomy. Despite advancements in rehabilitation and microsurgical interventions, there is no cure for lymphedema. Performing a lymphovenous anastomosi…

Patients with large or ptotic breasts undergoing nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) face reconstructive challenges, including higher risks of complications and suboptimal aesthetic outcomes. Preshaping procedures, such as mastopexy or reductio…

Sternal non-union is a rare complication of median sternotomies following cardiac surgery. It results in sternal instability and is associated with a high rate of morbidity. Patients with sternal non-union usually complain of pain and stern…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous breast reconstruction is considered high-risk for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and thromboembolism (PE). It is therefore recommended to treat patients undergoing these complex and lengthy procedures with DVT chemoproph…

[BACKGROUND] Free flap success rates have improved dramatically over the past three decades, setting a high standard for microvascular reconstruction. However, rates of arterial or venous thrombosis, and subsequent failure, remain high in b…

[BACKGROUND] Breast reconstruction following nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) in patients with large or ptotic breasts remains challenging because of the risk of ischemic complications and the difficulty in managing the redundant skin envelo…

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) overlying an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is rare and presents unique challenges. This case report describes a method of fistula preservation after CSCC excision using a flow-through venous free flap.…

[INTRODUCTION] Elliptical skin-sparing mastectomy in patients with large or ptotic breasts usually leaves loose mastectomy skin flaps, which need to be either resected or gathered over the DIEP flap. This results in poor control of the brea…

Venous flaps are nonphysiologic flaps in which the venous system replaces the vascular circuit found in conventional flaps, serving as inflow as well as outflow. Although a main concern with venous flaps has been their reliability, this can…

Classically, history of prior abdominal liposuction has been considered a relative contraindication for breast reconstruction using deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap. The rationale for this is based on the fact that liposuctio…
