상처열개 Dehiscence

[BACKGROUND] Single-stage augmentation mastopexy carries a risk of wound dehiscence and implant exposure due to the inherent skin tension associated with simultaneous lifting and volume enhancement. Kinesiotape has been proposed as an adjun…

[BACKGROUND] Cosmetic surgery tourism has increased rapidly, with growing numbers of UK patients returning with complications requiring NHS care. Limited regulation and inconsistent perioperative standards contribute to preventable harm. […

[BACKGROUND] Reconstructing upper-quadrant defects in oncoplastic breast reduction (OBR) can be challenging due to upper-pole concavity after tumor resection. To address this, we adopted a dual-component technique using 2 separate flaps: (1…

[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…

[BACKGROUND] Serotonergic antidepressants have been associated with an increased risk of weight gain. Because being overweight is strongly linked to macromastia development, which is a primary indication for breast reduction, it is very imp…

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] Our findings indicate that the use of a lipodermal flap in one-stage pre-pectoral implant-based breast reconstruction was associated with relatively complication and revision rates in this cohort. However, compli…

[BACKGROUND] Red breast syndrome (RBS) is a self-limited, non-infectious erythema historically linked to acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) in breast reconstruction. Recent reports suggest a declining incidence, potentially related to ADM adv…

Abdominally based free flaps are commonly utilized in the context of breast reconstruction. Historically, postoperative care of these patients involved liberal amounts of intravenous fluid administration; however, overadministration of flui…

[BACKGROUND] The deep inferior epigastric perforator flap (DIEP) is the gold standard for autologous breast reconstruction (ABR), but its viability can be challenged in resource-reduced environments like Mexico, where bilateral DIEP reconst…

[BACKGROUND] The HARMONIC Shears is an ultrasonic surgical device enabling precise tissue dissection with simultaneous hemostasis. Its application in lower limb free flap reconstruction following trauma is underexplored. [METHODS] A retros…

[BACKGROUND] Free tissue flaps from the foot have become an increasingly reliable tool in modern reconstructive surgery; however, the field lacks an empirical analysis focused on donor-site morbidity. This systematic review and meta-analysi…

[BACKGROUND] Xylazine is a veterinary sedative that is added to illicit fentanyl to enhance its effects. Xylazine-associated wounds differ from those found in patients who inject other drugs. They are larger and frequently involve deeper st…

[BACKGROUND] The treatment of peri-implantitis and/or peri-implant soft tissue dehiscence defects (PSTD) remains challenging. The incorporation of the operating microscope (OM) into surgical procedures might have changed the treatment lands…

[BACKGROUND] Protein intake plays a critical role in postoperative recovery and wound healing, particularly in procedures such as abdominoplasty. While ERAS protocols emphasize nutritional optimization, evidence in non-bariatric patients un…

[BACKGROUND] Superomedial pedicle breast reduction combined with a Wise pattern or vertical skin resection has become more popular recently. This review aimed to investigate the role of the type of skin resection that may alter the outcomes…

[BACKGROUND] Skin-reducing mastectomy (SRM) represents a surgical option that provides patients with ptotic breasts the advantage of undergoing simultaneous nipple-preserving mastopexy in conjunction with mastectomy. Nonetheless, existing d…

[BACKGROUND] The growing use of tranexamic acid (TXA) in plastic surgery warrants an accurate analysis of efficacy for body contouring indications. We offer the largest cohort evaluation of intravenous TXA use in minimizing postoperative co…

[BACKGROUND] Vertical scar superomedial pedicle breast reduction offers a shorter scar and improved breast projection, yet its safety and outcomes in cases of severe macromastia remain under discussion. [METHODS] A prospective case series …

[BACKGROUND] Cosmetic tourism has become increasingly popular, with patients seeking lower cost cosmetic surgery overseas. However, complications often necessitate management in local public hospitals upon their return, placing a burden on …

[BACKGROUND] Abdominal donor site complications remain significant concerns in Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction. In this study, we pair computed tomography (CT) morphometric analysis of the abdominal wal…
