Local therapy for penile cancer provides robust survival and can preserve the penis functionally and cosmetically. Interventions must target the appropriate clinical stage. We reviewed studies regarding the primary therapy in penile cancer,…

[OBJECTIVE] There is an inverse relationship between cancer cure and overall treatment time (OTT) in patients treated with surgical resection and radiotherapy (RT). [METHODS] OTT was evaluated based on the reconstruction procedure in 420 p…

[BACKGROUND] Currently there is limited literature available on fungating soft tissue sarcoma and its effect of outcomes. In the current study we evaluated the surgical management and oncologic outcomes of patient with fungating soft tissue…

Acute burn reconstruction involves intricate strategies such as skin grafting and innovative technologies, addressing challenges in coverage and minimizing donor site morbidity. Despite being rarely used, flap reconstruction becomes necessa…

In children with large soft tissue defects of the foot and ankle, it is difficult to cover the wound completely using a local skin flap, and skin grafting of the donor area for repair causes secondary damage. Free skin flaps require good va…

[PURPOSE] The American Society for Surgery of the Hand developed the Surgery Training and Educational Platform (STEP) in order to assess essential skills in hand surgery. The American Society for Surgery of the Hand designed modules spannin…

Scalp reconstruction has always been a challenging problem for even the most experienced surgeon to provide good aesthetic and functional results. This is mainly because the scalp is less mobile and tight, requiring a much larger dissection…

This case report describes the safety and utility of a noninvasive therapy, Purified Exosome Product (PEP), for poorly healing scalp wounds in the setting of prior chemoradiation and surgery. A man in his 60s with a history of high-grade an…

[BACKGROUND] Surgical treatments of mycetoma are a cornerstone in management. However, while doing a wide surgical excision of mycetoma lesion, surgeons think about how to close the skin defect, which can be closed primarily, left to heal b…

[BACKGROUND] This study compares early outcomes of osteofascial fibula free flap (OF-FFF) with donor-site primary closure and osteocutaneous (OC) FFF with donor-site skin grafting in segmental mandibular reconstruction. [METHODS] A retrosp…

[INTRODUCTION] The pectoral myocutaneous flap (PMF) is a workhorse regional reconstructive option for head and neck defects. It is commonly used for primary reconstructions due to its advantages or as a life-boat flap in the salvage of fail…

Integra® (Integra LifeSciences) is a well-known dermal regeneration template used in partial and full-thickness wound reconstruction. It can be applied directly on to vascular tissue to create a bed for a skin graft, which is often placed i…

[BACKGROUND] Immediate coverage of a large area of exposed skull is the first step in reconstructing a major scalp loss. In the 1970s, the free omental flap was used for scalp reconstruction, replacing removal of the external table and skin…

Chronic, non-healing wounds represent a significant challenge for healthcare systems worldwide, often requiring significant human and financial resources. Chronic wounds arise from the complex interplay of underlying comorbidities, such as …

Total laryngectomy is an operation mainly employed in recurrent laryngeal and hypopharyngeal carcinoma after previous radiotherapy. The most feared complication after this procedure is a pharyngocutaneous fistula. An extremely rare complica…

[PURPOSE] Gracilis muscle flaps are useful to cover defects of the hand. However, there are currently no studies describing outcome measurements after covering soft tissue defects using free flaps in the hand. [AIM] To analyze mid-term res…

[BACKGROUND] Free flap selection in extremity reconstruction can be challenging. The ideal flap has to be thin and pliable to achieve optimal contour and function. We explore the role of the fascia-only anterolateral thigh (fALT) flap in ex…

Keloid is a burdensome condition that negatively affects patient's quality of life. It is influenced by a spectrum of risk factors, including tension. We propose an approach to address the tension-free closure and optimize surgical outcomes…

[BACKGROUND] Loss of vision and other ocular defects are a concern with eyelid burn sequelae. This most commonly progresses from eyelid contracture to cicatricial ectropion and lagophthalmos. When left untreated, these may lead to exposure …
