[BACKGROUND] Postoperative monitoring is essential for detecting early complications and improving the salvage rate of free flaps. We propose a new protocol for free flap monitoring based on the combination of near-infrared spectroscopy (NI…

 Detection of vascular compromise in flap is often a challenging task for reconstructive surgeons. A timely salvage procedure depends on objectivity and reliability of postoperative flap monitoring. This study determined if flap capillary l…

[UNLABELLED] In breast reconstruction, mastectomy and free flaps are susceptible to vascular compromise and tissue necrosis. The SnapshotNIR device (Kent Imaging, Calgary, AB, Canada) utilizes near-infrared spectroscopy to measure tissue ox…

[BACKGROUND] Patients with advanced cancer staging have a greater risk of developing venous thromboembolism than noncancer patients. The impact of breast cancer stage and treatment on outcomes after autologous free-flap breast reconstructio…

 Defining cut-off values of flap glucose levels in diagnosing free flap vascular compromise, without taking patients' glucose levels into account, does not hold good in all circumstances, especially in cases of high fluctuations in patients…

[BACKGROUND] Hyaluronic acid (HA) filler application is one of the most frequent minimally invasive aesthetic procedures used worldwide. Its properties and characterization, performance, effects in other tissues, and response to complicatio…

[BACKGROUND] Although both botulinum toxin and facial filler injections are safe procedures with high efficacy and patient satisfaction, it is unclear how knowledgeable the general public is about the risks of these common cosmetic, nonsurg…

Severe soft tissue defects and amputated digits are clinically common injuries. Primary treatments include surgical free flap transfer and digit replantation, but these can fail because of vascular compromise. Postoperative monitoring is th…

[BACKGROUND] Even though the chin is considered a safe injection area for facial filler augmentation, tongue necrosis is a rare complication in this area. [OBJECTIVE] Our aim was to present case series of rare complications from chin fille…

[OBJECTIVES] Aggressive surgical debridement is required in cervical necrotizing fasciitis, and in severe defects, subsequent free tissue transfer might be necessary. However, there is concern that the inflammatory environment of the infect…

[OBJECTIVES] Microvascular free‑flap monitoring is crucial to the early detection of flap failure and increases the chance of early intervention in case of disruption of perfusion to a flap. Many clinical alternatives to classical clinical …

Treating head and neck tumors has undergone significant advancements, focusing on improving the patient's quality of life after treatment. Reconstructive surgical techniques with free flaps have been vital in restoring anatomy, function, an…

Free tissue flap transfer can be utilized for reconstruction following tumor resection. While flap failure occurs primarily within 72 h post-operation, late failure after day 7 is rare. We present the case of a 14-year-old with a late lower…

Hyaluronic acid filler injection is widely applied in facial shaping and facial filling. Although hyaluronic acid injection is thought to be relatively safe and effective, there are still incidents being reported occasionally. The authors r…

The purpose of this article is to introduce a recommendation for an adjunct approach to the current treatment protocol for vascular occlusion (VO). Current guidelines for treatment of VO do not incorporate the use of ultrasonographic techno…

Background  Various methods for monitoring after free flap surgery have been reported in the literature. Among them, pulse oximetry shows a sensitive reaction to vascular issues, and it is easy to interpret visually. However, previous repor…

A severely protruding premaxilla in a patient with bilateral cleft lip and palate prevents functional closure of the orbicularis oris muscle and acceptable reconstruction of the nasolabial components during primary cheiloplasty. This is typ…

[BACKGROUND] This study aimed to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of using combined transfer by two or three large skin flaps to cover a single extensive and multiplanar wound on the foot and ankle to achieve full coverage of the wo…

[INTRODUCTIONS] Interpolated flaps remain the mainstay of nasal reconstruction. In this regard Paramedian forehead flap has been combined and modified variously by different surgeons. However, still multiple stages are required to give shap…
