피부이식 Skin Grafting

[BACKGROUND] Devastating abdominal injuries may result from liposuction, which can lead to necrotizing fasciitis and loss of abdominal domain. This may necessitate reconstructing the abdominal wall to improve the patient's quality of life. …

Giant recurrent auricular keloids, particularly those complicated by donor-site involvement, present significant therapeutic challenges due to aggressive fibroblast biology and high recurrence rates. We report a complex case of a 15-year-ol…

: The traditional management of acute burn wounds using eschar debridement followed by split-thickness skin grafting has notable drawbacks. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF), derived from autologous adipose tissue, promotes epithelialization …

[INTRODUCTION] The tongue is the most common site of oral malignancies, with surgical resection the mainstay of treatment. Tongue cancer resections have significant functional impacts. Ideal reconstruction would restore speech intelligibili…

Chronic osteomyelitis of the midfoot, particularly following high-energy trauma such as a landmine injury, presents a formidable challenge due to the region's limited soft tissue envelope, complex anatomy, and the critical need for effectiv…

[INTRODUCTION] The indication for a free flap in acute burn reconstruction is very specific. It should avoid several complications that are more common in the burned patient population. We propose an anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap as a firs…

[BACKGROUND] Contemporary guidelines advocate for initial debridement and single-stage definitive fixation with immediate soft tissue reconstruction for open fractures. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of single-stage stabiliza…

Soft tissue defects in the lower leg often represent a therapeutic challenge. One of the treatment modalities is plastic reconstruction with a propeller flap. In our case report, we would like to present a case of a 75-year-old, multimorbid…

The anterolateral thigh (ALT) free flap is widely used in reconstructive microsurgery for its versatility and reliability, yet donor site management becomes challenging when flap dimensions exceed those for tension-free primary closure. The…

Microgenia, retrogenia, cervico-mental angle obtusity, and lower lip ectropion are complications of severe burn scar contracture and are associated with functional and psychosocial disturbances. These complications can be managed in several…

[PURPOSE] This case demonstrates a novel technique for treatment of periocular xanthogranuloma using plasma pen ablation, a non-invasive therapy that stimulates skin regeneration. It is used in various conditions, such as benign skin growth…

[BACKGROUND] The radial forearm free flap (RFFF) is widely used in microvascular reconstructions. However, donor site morbidity remains a concern, with complications such as wound healing issues, functional impairments, and aesthetic concer…

The radial forearm free flap (RFFF) is a common technique in head and neck reconstructive surgery. This study aimed to compare the clinical and biochemical outcomes of wound healing following ulnar-based transposition flap (UBTF) versus spl…

Aquafilling is a hydrophilic gel composed of 98% physiological saline and 2% polyacrylamide gel, introduced in Japan in 2015 for breast augmentation. Despite its initial popularity, it has been associated with severe complications, includin…

The periareolar approach has been successfully used in our cosmetic patients, including cases of mastopexy, breast reduction, and severe gynecomastia surgery, demonstrating its efficacy in achieving favorable cosmetic outcomes. However, so …

Three cases of total thoracic esophageal re-reconstruction after failed jejunum grafting for esophageal cancer are described. A prefabricated long skin tube formed by a combination of tensor fascia lata and anterolateral thigh flaps was tra…

Quality registries provide real-world data that can drive quality improvement, which often starts with reducing inter-hospital variation. We explored outcomes and the extent of nationwide inter-hospital variation for patients undergoing rec…

[INTRODUCTION] The dorsum of the foot has distinct characteristics, including thin skin and minimal subcutaneous tissue. Injuries in this area can expose deeper structures, complicating recovery and increasing the risk of infection and tiss…

[PURPOSE] The current study assessed factors associated with limb salvage and subsequent amputations for patients with diabetic lower-extremity wounds in the United States. [METHODS] Using national administrative data from 2010 to 2022 (Pe…

: Upper extremity reconstruction poses a significant challenge due to the complex anatomical and functional requirements of the hand and forearm. While free flaps have become the gold standard, pedicled abdominal flaps remain a valuable alt…
