[BACKGROUND] Surgical treatment of high anal fistulas is challenging and associated with a relatively high rate of complications and failure. Stem cell therapy has shown promising results for fistulas associated with Crohn's disease but rem…

Lymphedema is a common, debilitating condition that challenges treatment efforts. The primary aim of treatment is to debulk the affected areas, providing relief without further damaging tissues or causing undesirable cosmetic outcomes. Lipo…

[BACKGROUND] Robotic assistance in microsurgery represents a promising field with the potential to enhance precision and outcomes. This study evaluates the first twelve microsurgical procedures performed at Department of Plastic Surgery at …

This study provides a comprehensive guide to robotic-assisted microsurgery. Following more than 900 clinical cases in 13 centers, this joint project was initiated to summarize and consent to the user experience. Two robotic systems specific…

[BACKGROUND] One of the critical steps in abdominoplasty or reconstructive procedures using abdominal tissue involves repositioning the belly button. However, there is limited knowledge about patient satisfaction regarding the appearance of…

Breast cancer-related lymphoedema affects up to 20% of patients, leading to arm swelling and reduced quality of life. Conventional treatments include compression therapy, manual lymph drainage, and exercise. Surgical options like lymphoveno…

We present the first-in-human robot-assisted microsurgery on a lymphocele in the groin involving a man in his late 60s who had been coping with the condition for 12 months. Despite numerous efforts at conservative treatment and surgical int…

[BACKGROUND] Various surgical treatments are increasingly adopted and gaining popularity for lymphedema treatment. However, challenges persist in selecting appropriate treatment modalities targeted for individual patients and achieving cons…

[BACKGROUND] Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a chronic pain syndrome occurring after a herpes zoster outbreak. While there is no effective treatment available today, autologous fat grafting has shown promise. This randomized controlled tria…

Patients with excess skin after massive weight loss often experience skin maceration, infection, wounding and reduced quality of life. Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin aiming to relieve physical inconveniences…

[BACKGROUND] Patient satisfaction is the most critical outcome in gynecomastia treatment. However, patient satisfaction may be affected by the patient's decision-making trait, such as exhaustively searching for the best outcome or being con…

[BACKGROUND] Breast reshaping or mastopexy following massive weight loss can be challenging. The LOPOSAM (lower pole subglandular advancement mastoplasty) technique has shown promising results for correction of ptotic, wide, lateralized and…

[BACKGROUND] Reduction mammoplasty effectively improves quality of life for women with macromastia. However, little is known whether surgical- or patient-related factors affect satisfaction. [OBJECTIVE] The authors sought to investigate fa…

[BACKGROUND] Breast reduction by the superomedial technique can relieve symptoms related to breast hypertrophy; however, as the lateral and inferior portion of the breast parenchyma is removed and displaced, reduction mammoplasty may lead t…

[BACKGROUND] Skin-sparing mastectomy followed by immediate implant-based breast reconstruction is a commonly used treatment for breast cancer. However, when placing the implant in a subpectoral pocket, a high incidence of breast animation d…

[BACKGROUND] Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is a feared late complication. Treatment options are lacking at present. Recent studies have suggested that mesenchymal stromal cells can alleviate lymphedema. Herein, we report the resul…

Breast animation deformity (BAD) has been reported to occur after submuscular implant placement following breast augmentation and immediate breast reconstruction. Despite its apparent impact on patients' quality of life, BAD has only recent…

The number of patients in need of a mastopexy with autologous augmentation after massive weight loss (MWL) increases along with the increasing number of bariatric surgeries. The primary aim of this paper was to visualize how we utilize the …

[OBJECTIVE] To explore safety in adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRC) therapy, treating erectile dysfunction (ED). [METHODS] Twenty-one patients with ED after radical prostatectomy, with no signs of recovery using conventional therapy…

An increasing amount of evidence supports the benefits of fat grafting for breast augmentation, correction following breast-conserving surgery, breast reconstructions as well as correction of tuberous, hypoplastic and asymmetrical breasts. …

The demand for reconstructive surgery after therapeutic and prophylactic mastectomy is increasing. The hammock technique for breast reconstruction was introduced in 2001 and provides support for the implant using either biologically derived…

Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is a debilitating late complication with a lack of treatment opportunities. Recent studies have suggested that mesenchymal stromal cells can alleviate lymphedema. Herein, we report the results from th…

[BACKGROUND] Health-related quality of life and satisfaction with appearance are important outcomes in bariatric and body contouring surgery. To investigate these outcomes, scientifically sound and clinically meaningful patient-reported out…

[BACKGROUND] Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, and radical prostatectomy (RP) often results in erectile dysfunction (ED) and a substantially reduced quality of life. The efficacy of current interventions, principal treatment…

[INTRODUCTION] Non-oncological breast surgery like breast reduction and mastopexy are often performed in younger patients, i.e. in women who have not yet had mammography. Breast cancer is, however, a very frequent disease that is increasing…
