The globally increasing incidence of cutaneous malignancies leads, in parallel, to increasing numbers of locally advanced skin cancer resulting in reconstructive surgery. Reasons for locally advanced skin cancer may be a patient's neglect o…

A single immediate reconstruction with free tissue transfer is the method of choice after major head and neck cancer (HNC) resection, but this is frequently associated with long operating hours. Considering regulatory working hour constrain…

[UNLABELLED] The impact of previous radiotherapy on free flap outcome is still a subject of debate. Clinical investigations have come to divergent conclusions and the true effect of radiotherapy (XRT) on flap survival is not definitely know…

Orbital exenteration is a disfiguring procedure that often results in free tissue transfer for reconstructive purposes. The reconstructive focus is the obliteration of dead space while sparing the nasal airway, particularly if the medial or…

Deep sternal wound infection (TSWI) is a potentially life-threatening complication that may occur after median sternotomy, contributing to prolonged hospital stay and increased health care costs. Bacterial infection is often characterized b…

[BACKGROUND] The formation of professional networks and cooperations - in addition to any qualified good education - seems fundamental for a successful career. In a number of disciplines, various symposia or conferences exist. In the field …

[INTRODUCTION] A recent survey among plastic surgery residents and directors of microsurgical clinics demonstrates a great interest in high- quality microsurgery education. Unfortunately, due to economic pressures, limited operating resourc…

Plastic and reconstructive surgery is characterized by a high degree of interdisciplinarity. Although Plastic surgery offers a wide range of reliable surgical treatment options independent departments for plastic and reconstructive surgery …

The most common complication of silicone breast implants is capsular contracture (massive scar formation around the implant). We postulate that capsular contracture is always a sequel to inflammatory processes, with both innate and adaptive…

During the last two decades, understanding and experience of microsurgical reconstruction have increased. This is linked to improved instruments and technical devices, as well as to the increased number of available donor sites for microvas…

Polyurethane-coated breast implants seem to be associated with lower medium- and long-term capsular contracture rates in comparison to textured or smooth implant surfaces. Although the etiology of capsular contracture is uncertain, bacteria…

[INTRODUCTION] Capsular contracture is a feared complication following both reconstructive and aesthetic breast surgery. The etiology is uncertain, but bacterial biofilms have been suggested as trigger for chronic peri-implant inflammation,…

[UNLABELLED] This retrospective study aimed to evaluate how reduction mammaplasty influences the bodyweight of patients 5 years after the procedure. The literature shows controversy regarding the effect of breast reduction on the progressio…

[BACKGROUND] It has been hypothesized that bacterial biofilms on breast implants may cause chronic inflammation leading to capsular contracture. The association between bacterial biofilms of removed implants and capsular contracture was inv…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular fibrosis is a severe complication after breast implantation with an uncertain etiology. Microbial colonization of the prosthesis is hypothesized as a possible reason for the low-grade infection and subsequent capsular …

In the current study, skin flaps raised in the subcutaneous plane were applied for 22 patients who underwent reconstruction for unilateral upper facial skin defects after skin tumor surgery. The defect was reconstructed with flaps designed …

[BACKGROUND] Patients requiring surgical skin excision after massive weight loss are challenging and require an individualized approach. The characteristic abdominal deformity includes a draping apron of panniculus, occasionally associated …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the combination of abdominoplasty with liposuction of both flanks with regards to length of scar, complications, and patient's satisfaction. A retrospective analysis of 35 patients who underwent estheti…

[BACKGROUND] The number of patients after gastric bypass being referred to plastic surgery units for secondary plastic surgery procedures is increasing. The characteristic abdominal deformity includes a draping apron of panniculus, occasion…

The implementation of laser surface scanning to assess facial symmetry after unilateral face-lift procedures used to reconstruct defects after skin tumor resection is presented. Six patients who had undergone defect reconstruction with a fl…

We report a young girl with an unusual manifestation of CHILD syndrome in whom skin lesions showed involvement of the right side of her neck as well as symmetrically distributed ptychotropic involvement of the large body folds. Excision res…

The results achieved with silicone implants are usually assessed on the basis of the clinical and therefore subjective technique of Baker's classification. Yet, for scientific studies, more objective measurements are clearly necessary. For …
