[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE] Numerous reviews have been published in the field of tracheal replacement. However, most did not differentiate between patch tracheal reconstruction (PTR), non-circumferential tracheal replacement (NCTR), and full…

This paper describes the Octopus Technique, a technical modification for tension-free abdominoplasty closure using short vertical relaxing incisions for multidirectional tension redistribution. In 12 consecutive patients, no wound dehiscenc…

[INTRODUCTION] The lateral tension upper body lift (Zip-Shark) is mainly used in patients after massive weight loss, predominantly as a second or third stage in a body contouring plan. This technique is a surgical procedure aimed at removin…

[BACKGROUNDS] Abdominoplasty constitutes a principal aesthetic procedure in plastic surgery, with relevance for postpartum women presenting with abdominal wall laxity. Nowadays, an increasing number of patients are undergoing abdominoplasty…

The authors evaluated the feasibility, safety, and patient-reported outcomes of a standardized autologous protocol ("Brazilian Breast Sculpting") that integrates liposuction, Liacyr flap creation, intramuscular and subcutaneous fat grafting…

Upper blepharoplasty is one of the most commonly performed aesthetic procedures, with scar quality being a critical determinant of patient satisfaction. This review evaluates various surgical and postoperative strategies to optimize cosmeti…

[BACKGROUND] Although the indications for the dangle protocol following lower extremity free flap reconstruction (LEFFR) are well established, significant heterogeneity in the postoperative day (POD) of protocol initiation is observed in cl…

[METHODS] A retrospective chart review of 2500 patients having undergone bilateral reduction mammoplasty at 5 institutions from 2010 to 2019 was performed to record pedicle selection, patient demographics, comorbidities, body mass index, pa…

: Abdominal wall hernias represent a significant global surgical burden, with over 20 million repairs performed annually. The convergence of rising obesity and diabetes rates with complex hernia management has necessitated innovative preope…

[BACKGROUND] Rising obesity has surged demand for weight loss interventions and body contouring procedures. The independent and combined effects of prior bariatric surgery (BS) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) on abd…

[BACKGROUND] There is obvious requirement for the improvement of expander-to-implant breast reconstruction due to the high rate of complications caused by radiotherapy. [OBJECTIVES] We aimed to decrease the complications by applying fat gr…

[PURPOSE] GLP-1 agonists have gained FDA approval for managing type 2 diabetes. However, they have been increasingly utilized for their weight loss side effect profile. Although of low incidence rate, surgical site wound complications have …

[BACKGROUND] Orocutaneous fistula is a challenging postoperative complication often encountered in head and neck reconstruction, typically resulting from surgical site dehiscence, infection, or compromised flap vascularity. While the pector…

[BACKGROUND] Over 70,000 reduction mammaplasties were performed in 2022. Previous studies have suggested equivalent overall complication rates with or without intraoperative drains but have been inadequately powered to assess individual out…

[BACKGROUND] Gluteal augmentation is a widely performed aesthetic procedure, with implants providing a reliable alternative for patients with insufficient donor fat or those seeking a more pronounced and predictable volume enhancement. Howe…

[INTRODUCTION] Immediate breast reconstruction in patients with large and ptotic breasts represents a significant challenge due to the presence of skin redundancy and potential uncertain vascularization. This study investigates an innovativ…

[OBJECTIVE] Submandibular gland flap (SMGF) has demonstrated reliability in repairing small- to medium-sized defects, yet it has not gained widespread international adoption. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of SMGF fo…

[BACKGROUND] We describe clinical outcomes of combining a dual-pedicle deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap, direct neurotization, and vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT) for unilateral reconstruction in patients with breast …

[INTRODUCTION] Weight loss after bariatric surgery causes very important modifications to the patient's silhouette. Abdominal fat and skin excess reduction are associated with several complications. The most frequent are seroma and hematoma…

Abdominoplasty, horizontal panniculectomy and TRAM/DIEP flaps can sometimes be associated to postoperative complications such as wound dehiscence, skin necrosis, seroma, hematoma, surgical site infection, and need for unplanned reoperation.…
