Simulation training in microsurgery primarily relies on live rat models due to their high-fidelity physiological characteristics, which presents ethical and educational challenges. The increasing emphasis on reducing, replacing, and refinin…

Microvascular anastomotic couplers are a safe alternative to traditional vein suture techniques. They are versatile and widely used for flap vein anastomoses; however, the technique has limitations. Most problems which can arise, have reaso…

[INTRODUCTION] Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into plastic surgery. Technical complexities of microsurgery and supermicrosurgery demand incorporation of AI in facilitating steep learning curves. Although simulation …

[BACKGROUND] The inframammary fold (IMF) is an important landmark in breast aesthetic surgery. In augmentation mastopexy procedures, secure and accurate placement of the IMF is essential to aesthetic outcomes and to allow the new IMF to hea…

In microsurgery training, where the first steps occur in a safe simulated environment, we believe there is a lack of emphasis on well reflected commonly occurring mistakes; education manuals provide stepwise instructions on performing tasks…

[BACKGROUND] Intraoperative venous congestion is a main complication in deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap for breast reconstruction. We present a pedicle measuring technique to precisely predict the length of pedicle ne…

This article portrays the authors' experience with a complex lower limb bone and soft tissue defect, following chronic osteomyelitis and pathological fracture, which was managed by the multidisciplinary orthoplastic team. The decision for f…

Complex transmetacarpal thumb amputation remains a challenging reconstructive injury. Optimal reconstructive options aim to achieve a neo-thumb with optimal length, sensitivity, stability, and an aesthetically functional result. In cases wh…

[UNLABELLED] In breast augmentation, during submuscular or dual plane dissection, anatomical variations of the inferior and costal origin of the pectoralis major muscle (PMM) play a key role to ensure optimal implant coverage. Especially, a…

[BACKGROUND] Breast augmentation with implants is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery operations performed worldwide. Complications of breast implants are well recognized, and include capsular contracture, implant rupture, and infreque…

[BACKGROUND] Microsurgery is a technically demanding aspect of surgery that is integral to a variety of sub-specialties. Microsurgery is required in high-risk cases where time is limited and pressure is high, so there is increasing demand f…

[INTRODUCTION] Breast augmentation is one of the most commonly performed aesthetic procedures in women. Despite the structural changes which occur during pregnancy and lactation have been extensively studied, there is no clarity in terms of…

[BACKGROUND] Breast reconstructive standards are increasingly high oncologically, aesthetically, and practically. Autologous breast reconstruction remains the gold standard which, buried, after nipple-sparing mastectomy (where oncologically…

[INTRODUCTION] There are several reasons microsurgeons may not use a coupler device in arterial anastomosis: may be thick-walled, non-pliable due to atherosclerotic calcification or present vessel geometrical discrepancies. This review summ…

[INTRODUCTION] This retrospective comparative study aimed to evaluate the effect of implant surface in two cohorts of consecutive patients who underwent revision surgery following capsular contracture (Baker III-IV) after primary breast aug…

[BACKGROUND] Despite improvements in the early detection of breast cancer, locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) involving the chest wall exists in developing countries. Surgical resection remains a controversial management option. This stu…

[BACKGROUND] The Exoscope is a novel high-definition digital camera system. There is limited evidence signifying the use of exoscopic devices in microsurgery. This trial objectively assesses the effects of the use of the Exoscope as an alte…

Microsurgical training involves practice in ex vivo models during the early learning curve, and poor instrument handling by the inexperienced microsurgeons can cause damage to microsurgical instrumentation or clamps, which is particularly c…

[INTRODUCTION] Microsurgery is a surgical technique that uses optical magnification as well as specific instruments to address necessary reconstructive procedures in different medical specialties. The apprenticeship of this technique requir…
