[BACKGROUND] The "Mommy Makeover" is a combined plastic surgery procedure designed to address aesthetic concerns commonly experienced by women after pregnancy and breastfeeding. This procedure typically includes abdominoplasty and breast su…

Scalp reconstruction following Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) presents significant challenges when defects are complicated by radiation, extensive defect size and depth, and the use of implants. As a result, free flap reconstruction may pr…

[BACKGROUND] Post-operative massive hemorrhage is a critical concern in oral cancer surgery, associated with severe complications and heightened morbidity and mortality rates. [CASE SUMMARY] A 46-year-old male with advanced poorly differen…

[BACKGROUND] Implant-based reconstruction (IBR) is the most common reconstructive strategy following mastectomy. Advancements in surgical techniques and materials have led to improvement in perfusion and thickness of mastectomy skin flaps a…

Multidisciplinary care with vascular surgery and plastic surgery is essential for lower extremity free flap (LEFF) success in the chronic wound population with diabetes and peripheral vascular disease. There is a lack of understanding on pe…

[PURPOSE] To investigate the short-term efficacy of modified plate reconstruction and tubularization urethroplasty for posterior hypospadias. [MATERIAL AND METHOD] We retrospectively collected the clinical data of posterior hypospadias pat…

[BACKGROUND] The Ukrainian conflict has led to a surge in combat-related facial injuries, characterized by complex soft tissue and bone defects requiring microvascular reconstruction approaches. This study evaluates the efficacy of the ante…

BackgroundRecent studies have identified various socioeconomic disparities in postoperative outcomes among adults undergoing head and neck (H&N) microsurgical reconstruction. This study aimed to measure the impact of socioeconomic factors o…

[INTRODUCTION] Rectal neuroendocrine tumors (rNETs) are subepithelial lesions with potential of malignancy. Despite the guidelines recommending that rNETs measuring 10-20 mm should be removed either endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) or…

[OBJECTIVE] Assess the patient demographics, comorbidities, tumor and defect characteristics, and operative variables associated with wound complications of scalp defects reconstructed with local flaps for cutaneous malignancies. [STUDY DE…

[OBJECTIVE] To report on the feasibility and outcomes of using inferiorly based nasolabial flaps for the reconstruction of large lower lip defects following tumour resection. [METHODS] Using a retrospective cohort study design, we enrolled…

[PURPOSE] Sarcopenia refers to a loss of muscle mass combined with an associated loss of muscle function and has been demonstrated to predict post operative complications across a range of surgical procedures. The effect of sarcopenia on pa…

[BACKGROUND] Large posterior trunk defects due to radical sarcoma excisions conventionally mandate a free flap, needing vein grafts for pedicle length and skin grafts for donor site. Conventional options like skin grafting or local (fascioc…

Pediatric lower lip reconstruction is rare and technically challenging due to small donor sites, ongoing facial growth, and functional demands, such as speech and oral competence. We present the case of a one-year-old male who sustained com…

[INTRODUCTION] Hematoma is a common and concerning complication following facelift surgery. To mitigate this risk, hemostatic nets can be applied either externally or internally. In patients with Fitzpatrick skin type of or greater than III…

[OBJECTIVE] To compare short-term complication rates of small-volume adipose tissue harvesting for micro-fragmented adipose tissue (mFAT) knee injections performed by orthopedic surgeons with those performed by plastic surgeons. Additionall…

[BACKGROUND] Reduction mammoplasty is a common aesthetic and reconstructive breast procedure. Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare inflammatory, non-infectious neutrophilic dermatosis. Post-surgical PG is characterized by ulcerative lesions …

[INTRODUCTION] The two-flap technique, superior pedicle flap and central pedicle retro glandular (RG) flap, represents a novel advancement in breast reduction surgery, addressing issues such as upper pole deflation, asymmetry, and overall b…

Reconstruction of distal forearm and hand soft tissue defects remains a complex surgical challenge due to the functional and aesthetic significance of the region. Several flap options have been established such as the posterior interosseous…
