[BACKGROUND] Scalp reconstruction is a challenging field for plastic surgeons. In case of large or complex defects, microsurgical-free flaps are usually required. Reconstructive failure can result in high morbidity and in some cases be life…

[BACKGROUND] Traumatic injuries and penetrating traumas of the upper limb are at high risk of combined neurovascular lesion, due to anatomical proximity of main vessels and nerves. Occasionally, post-traumatic pseudoaneurysms or thrombi can…

[INTRODUCTION] Striae distensae (SD) appear clinically as parallel striae, lying perpendicular to the tension lines of the skin. SD evolve into two clinical phases, an initial inflammatory phase in which they are called "striae rubrae" (SR)…

[BACKGROUND] Soft tissue trunk reconstruction is often challenging. Although free microvascular flaps are a feasible option in case of extensive defects involving deep structures, pedicled flaps represent a good alternative, especially if h…

In this article, we present a modification of the NS/SRM technique in which the mastopexy design for skin reduction is undertaken with a wide-base bipedicled (WIBB) flap. The WIBB flap can be applied in both autologous and implant-based bre…

[BACKGROUND] Patients with previous breast augmentation may need implant removal for mechanical complications or other causes. After prosthesis removal, the residual parenchyma can be reshaped through a mastopexy with rearrangement of breas…

[BACKGROUND] The indications for microsurgical breast reconstruction remain debated, particularly concerning the safety of deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps in elderly women. Free tissue transfer still carries a risk of perio…

(1) Background: Breast hypertrophy is a prevalent condition among women worldwide, which can affect different aspects of their quality of life. Uncertainty exists in the medical literature about recommendations for return to work after redu…

Axonal count is the base for efficient nerve transfer; despite its capital importance, few studies have been published on human material, most research approaches being performed on experimental animal models of nerve injury. Thus, standard…

[BACKGROUND] Safety of reconstructive microsurgery in elderly patients is still a topic of debate, because no conclusive evidence exists that provides indications and risk evaluation in elderly patients. The purpose of this study, which the…

Cartilage or bone regeneration approaches based on the direct injection of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) at the lesion site encounter several challenges, related to uncontrolled cell spreading and differentiation, reduced cell viability and…

[INTRODUCTION] Male breast cancer (MBC) is a rare disease that accounts for …
