피판재건술 Flap Reconstruction

Condylar reconstruction and replacement with alloplastic materials have gained increasing surgical interest due to their critical role in restoring mandibular function. This study aimed to evaluate clinical outcomes and long-term complicati…

[BACKGROUND] Loss of the interdental papilla compromises esthetics, speech, and hygiene, significantly affecting quality of life and psychological well-being. Reconstruction has long been considered unpredictable, particularly in Cairo RT3 …

[UNLABELLED] Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious perioperative complication associated with morbidity and mortality. Although otolaryngology-head and neck surgery (OHNS) has lower rates of VTE than other surgical specialties, VTE rate…

[PURPOSE] Head and neck free flap (HNFF) surgery is essential in reconstructive surgery, addressing complex defects with tailored approaches. Despite high success rates, complications remain significant, influenced by patient comorbidities,…

: Complex head and neck defects often require simultaneous reconstruction of multiple tissue types. The thoracodorsal artery-based chimeric flap offers the potential to address these requirements through a single vascular pedicle. : A retro…

: Recent meta-analyses have established that factors such as sarcopenia, male sex, and low serum albumin significantly correlate with increased postoperative complications in head and neck surgery, with routine neck computed tomography (CT)…

[BACKGROUND] Retroauricular robotic neck dissection is a remote-access approach designed for cervical nodal clearance while concealing the incision. We describe our operative technique and early feasibility in carefully selected patients wi…

Abdominally based free flap breast reconstruction offers excellent long-term outcomes, but donor-site morbidity remains a concern. Lower back pain is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition that may impair core stability and abdominal donor-s…

Microsurgical reconstruction is often first-line treatment in trauma cases, yet its role in burn reconstruction remains inconsistent, despite comparable injury complexity and resuscitation demands. While literature suggests mixed outcomes f…

[IMPORTANCE] Oral tongue is the most common subsite of oral cavity cancers, and incidence is increasing. Tongue resection is associated with morbidity, affecting speech, swallowing, and quality of life. [OBJECTIVE] To assess the associatio…

[INTRODUCTION] The most common unwanted outcomes in preservation rhinoplasty continue to be the residual and the recurrent hump. [OBJECTIVE AND HYPOTHESES] We propose a new solution, contributing to preexisting techniques, to overcome this…

Mandibular continuity defects following tumor resection or trauma present significant reconstructive challenges, particularly for subsequent dental rehabilitation. While the fibula free flap remains the gold standard, its limited vertical h…

The role of soft tissue reconstruction in infection control of knee periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) treated with a two-stage exchange strategy remains controversial. This retrospective observational study analysed consecutive patients …

[PURPOSE] The level of the umbilicus is considered a watershed between the axillary and superficial inguinal nodal basins. Flap elevation during abdominoplasty may disrupt the continuity of lymphatic flow. In this study, we aimed to evaluat…

Timely surgical intervention for head and neck cancer (HNC) is critical to improving survival, particularly in advanced-stage disease requiring free-flap reconstruction. In medically underserved states, structural barriers such as rurality,…

Postoperative hematoma is a common yet unfavorable complication following head and neck free flap reconstruction (HNFFR). This study aims to clarify how perioperative blood pressures influence postoperative neck hematoma development and its…

[BACKGROUND] End-to-side anastomosis (ETS) to major arteries is a valuable technique for limb free flap reconstruction that preserves distal perfusion; however, its effects on distal circulation remain unclear. Few studies have evaluated lo…

[BACKGROUND] Free flaps require close postoperative monitoring to detect vascular thrombosis at an early stage, which is the main cause of failure. Although clinical examination remains the benchmark, it is subjective. Indocyanine green, a …

Simultaneous rhytidectomy and laser resurfacing has become a common single-stage facial rejuvenation technique. However, concerns remain, particularly with photothermal injury to undermined tissue. This is the first methodologically robust …
