[BACKGROUND] This study explores a novel technique combining transposition flaps with Split-Thickness Skin Grafts (STSG) to enhance anastomosis site coverage in free tissue transfer surgeries, particularly in lower limb reconstructions usin…

 In addressing subungual melanoma, this study presents the efficacy of wide excision followed by reconstruction using a serratus anterior fascial free flap.  The study covers four patients treated between 2017 and 2020 for melanoma in the …

: The reconstruction of hand defects, especially involving the dorsal region of the hand, has remained a challenge for surgeons because of its anatomical features and complex functions. The goal of reconstruction should include functional r…

The radial forearm free flap (RFFF) has emerged as a leading option for microvascular reconstruction of head and neck soft-tissue defects. Despite the favorable outcomes conferred by RFFFs, complications such as skin graft loss and tendon e…

[BACKGROUND] Orbital exenteration is a severe and disabling surgical procedure that involves the removal of all orbital contents. Effective reconstruction is crucial to managing the resulting defects. This study aims to propose a reconstruc…

[INTRODUCTION] The reverse sural flap (RSF) is a random-type, pedicled flap based on sural artery perforators indicated for traumatic lower-extremity wounds. The RSF has demonstrated comparable results to free flap placement in the adult po…

[INTRODUCTION] Necrotising soft tissue infection (NSTI) is an exceptionally dangerous infectious disease targeting soft tissues with high mortality as well as morbidity. The aim of reconstructive surgery after initial debridement is to main…

[BACKGROUND] The anterolateral thigh flap is a versatile flap that offers many advantages. These include a long and reliable pedicle that enables a wide arc of rotation, the possibility to harvest a large skin area, raising the flap with un…

[INTRODUCTION] Abdominal wall contractures following burn injuries can cause both maternal and fetal complications during pregnancy like maternal disfigurement, breathing difficulties, scar site pain, fetal distress, premature labor, scar b…

In the past years, the mainstay of burn treatment has been early tangential excision and skin grafting. Excision with direct closure is another reconstructive approach that has not been extensively explored. This study aims to review the ex…

[BACKGROUND] Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare intra-epidermal adenocarcinoma, and reconstruction of the penoscrotal region remains a clinical challenge. The superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap has been su…

Reconstruction of the chin region represents a technical challenge due to its three-dimensional configuration and its location close to the mouth. It requires both a functional approach by restoring mobility and an aesthetic approach by res…

[BACKGROUND] Skin graft is frequently used for donor site closure after osteocutaneous fibula free flap (OCFFF) harvest when primary closure is not possible. Partial skin graft loss requiring wound care is a common complication. The purpose…

Open abdomen treatment (OAT) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In cases where primary or delayed fascial closure cannot be achieved, vacuum-assisted wound closure and mesh-mediated fascial traction are indicated, which…

[BACKGROUND] Pediatric first web space contractures of the hand can lead to disability in hand function. Several techniques have been proposed for treating this condition. Recently, a new technique involving the first palmar cutaneous flap …

[BACKGROUND] Complex nasal defects most often arise due to oncological resection or severe trauma. Traditional methods of two-stage nose reconstruction using a forehead flap with a skin graft have often resulted in collapse and deformity of…

Free flaps for scalp reconstruction occasionally traverse the face to reach the recipient vessels in the neck if the superficial temporal vessels are unavailable and vein grafts are circumvented. When using the latissimus flap, the facial s…

[BACKGROUND] The treatment of complex wounds remains a challenging aspect of reconstructive surgery, given their diverse nature and the frequent need for high-level surgical procedures. Standard treatment with flap coverage can achieve many…

[OBJECTIVE] The fibula free flap (FFF) remains the workhorse flap for head and neck defects necessitating osteocutaneous reconstruction. Although lower extremity angiography, ultrasound (US), and other vascular studies are routinely used fo…

[BACKGROUND] Biodegradable temporizing matrix (BTM) is a novel synthetic dermal matrix for wound reconstruction and an alternative to biological dermal substitutes such as Integra (Integra LifeSciences). It provides a scaffold for dermal re…
