[BACKGROUND] Little is known about long-term esthetic outcomes after re-exploration for microvascular compromise in autologous breast reconstruction. We assessed long-term breast volume symmetry and introduced a symmetry-based "true salvage…

The superficial vessel system in the lower abdomen, including the superficial circumflex iliac artery (SCIA) and superficial inferior epigastric artery (SIEA), is widely used in reconstructive microsurgery. Preoperative ultrasonography, par…

Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare malignancies requiring extensive surgical resection, often leading to significant soft tissue defects. Flap reconstruction is crucial for restoring function and appearance. Recent reconstructive microsurg…

[BACKGROUND] Superficial circumflex iliac artery (SCIA) perforator (SCIP) flap is becoming popular for relatively small defect reconstruction. However, little is known regarding the use of the SCIA transverse branch (SCIAt) as a pedicle of …

[BACKGROUND] Although autologous reconstruction following breast cancer surgery is common, little is known about the association between preoperative body mass index (BMI) and short-term surgical outcomes. This study investigated the associ…

This article introduces a reproducible strategy for complex reconstruction scenarios that require the use of two flaps. It specifically focuses on the utilization of the superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap as a second…

[BACKGROUND] Donor site seroma formation and prolonged drainage duration are commonly seen after harvest of perforator-based abdominal flaps. The lymphatic network including the lymphatic vessels and the lymph nodes can be traumatized durin…

In the treatment of sarcoma, the reconstructive surgeon must consider not only limb salvage but also functional reconstruction. The aim of this study was to evaluate a functional reconstruction of a dorsal forearm defect after sarcoma resec…

Soft tissue reconstruction after sarcoma ablation in the posterior aspect of the upper arm has been commonly addressed using the pedicled latissimus dorsi musculo-cutaneous flap. The use of a free flap for coverage of this region has not be…

[BACKGROUND] Reconstruction after wide resection of a sarcoma arising in the shoulder girdle is challenging, and little evidence is available to compare short-term outcomes between pedicled-flap and free-flap reconstruction. [PATIENTS AND …

In phalloplasty, the radial forearm free flap is the most commonly used flap, followed by the anterolateral thigh flap. Superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flaps have been used in phalloplasty, but bulkiness and unstable p…

The incidence of upper extremity lymphedema after breast cancer treatment is reported to be 14% after axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) and 33% after ALND and regional lymph node dissection. The present report describes a novel method i…

[BACKGROUND] Toe-to-hand transfer is a favorable option for finger reconstruction, but donor site healing can be challenging. The superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap has yet to be used widely for toe reconstruction. T…

[BACKGROUND] Breast reconstruction using autologous tissue has been widely performed, and its safety and usefulness have been reported. However, there are few reports on the long-term morphological evaluation of autologous breast reconstruc…

: Prolonged drain stay and lymphorrhea are often problems at the donor site of the superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap. This study aimed to introduce a novel technique of the SCIP flap elevation: Deep Fat Saving (DFS)…

Postoperative chyle leakage is an uncommon type of lymphorrhea characterized by a milky white lymphatic fluid. Here, we report a case of postoperative donor-site chyle leakage after breast reconstruction using a deep inferior epigastric art…

[BACKGROUND]  Reconstruction after wide resection of a large sarcoma arising in the posterior trunk may require free-flap transfer to reduce the postoperative complications. Here, we describe the recipient vessels on the whole posterior tru…

[BACKGROUND] Despite the increasing popularity of autologous breast reconstruction, limited evidence is available. The aim of the present study was to compare the short-term outcomes of pedicled- and free-flap breast reconstructions. [METH…

[BACKGROUND] Recently, the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap has become the gold standard for breast reconstruction, but it has some drawbacks such as abdominal bulging and hernia. To overcome these disadvantages, the superfic…

[BACKGROUND] The use of intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) angiography has been well documented for confirmation of arterial perfusion in transferred free flaps. However, no previous report has yet focused on whether ICG angiography can…

A phyllodes tumor of the breast is a rare neoplasm, accounting for 0.3%-1% of all breast cancers. The size is 4-5 cm on average but sometimes the tumor grows more and involves the entire breast. As for treatment, complete surgical resection…

[BACKGROUND] The superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap cannot be used for coverage of large defects. We introduce a novel flap design to overcome the SCIP flap's size limitation. [METHODS] Data of patients who underwen…

A deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is one of the gold standards for autologous breast reconstructions. However, this flap cannot be chosen again if asynchronous contralateral breast cancer occurs in the future. To solve this …

[BACKGROUND] Reconstruction after esophagectomy is conventionally performed with a gastric conduit. However, in cases where a gastric conduit is unavailable, reconstructive procedures vary in terms of flap type, operative timing, and condui…

Necessity of breast reconstruction after mastectomy has been increasing in recent years. For better reconstruction, we preserve a nipple-areolar complex (NAC) by transplanting it temporarily onto the lower abdominal wall and retransplant it…
