[OBJECTIVES] Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are emerging technologies with wide potential applications in health care. We performed a scoping review of the current literature on the application of augmented and VR in the fi…

The paramedian forehead flap (PMFF) is a well-established technique utilized for reconstruction of complex nasal defects. To identify the different techniques and management of patients undergoing PMFF reconstruction and compare these with…

Reconstructive surgery's workhorse, the latissimus dorsi flap is increasingly abandoned in favour of fasciocutaneous flaps. The purpose of this study was to analyse the methods used to perform this flap and the evolution of its indications …

[BACKGROUND]  Microsurgery is essential in modern reconstructive surgery and plastic surgery training. Surgeon's proficiency and experience are crucial for effective microsurgical interventions. Despite anecdotal evidence of varying quality…

[BACKGROUND] The use of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) for patients with end-stage cardiac failure awaiting heart transplantation has become increasingly common. However, ventricular assist device-related infections remain a major …

[BACKGROUND/AIM] The treatment of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the oral cavity for operable patients usually consists of surgical tumor resection, unilateral or bilateral neck dissection and defect reconstruction. In addition to local f…

[BACKGROUND] This study evaluates change in practice patterns in facelift surgery based on a 15-year review of tracer data collected by the American Board of Plastic Surgery as part of the Continuous Certification process. [METHODS] Tracer…

[BACKGROUND] Limb salvage after lower extremity (LE) trauma requires optimal blood flow for successful microsurgical reconstruction. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) decreases LE perfusion, affecting wound healing. Patients who present wit…

[OBJECTIVE] The purpose of this study is to evaluate the postoperative urinary complications and the optimal timing of foley catheter removal in patients who underwent free flap reconstructive surgery for head and neck pathology. [METHODS]…

[PURPOSE] The present study describes a new presurgical soft tissue technique in oral/maxillary bone reconstructive surgery for reducing the risk of soft tissue dehiscence and its related complications. [MATERIALS AND METHODS] Ten consecut…

[BACKGROUND] Common otoplasties through incisions behind the ear with blind scoring or scratching the anterior perichondrium often leave an irregular surface of the antihelix. [METHOD] To avoid these tiny side effects, a skin incision alon…

The aim of this study was to explore the outcomes of pelvic reconstruction with a rectus abdominis myocutaneous (RAM) or rectus abdominis myoperitoneal (RAMP) flap following radical surgery for gynecologic malignancy. This is a retrospectiv…

[BACKGROUND] The choice of antibiotics and length of administration in the treatment of deep sternal wound infections (DSWI) is unclear. The reason for this is the lack of studies and local differences in resistance. An increase in resistan…

[BACKGROUND] The authors evaluated trends in practice patterns for abdominoplasty based on a 16-year review of tracer data collected by the American Board of Plastic Surgery as part of the continuous certification process. [METHODS] To fac…

[AIM] To evaluate the effectiveness of applying negative pressure bandages (VAC bandage) in patients with malignant skin tumors after closing defects with free skin grafts and to compare it with fixation of skin grafts by the ordinary ointm…

Low skeletal muscle mass is emerging as an adverse predictive and prognostic factor in cancer patients. The use of this parameter as a risk factor for complications after surgery is not currently used in clinical practice. This meta-analysi…

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] Given advances that streamline breast reconstruction (e.g., prepectoral placement, acellular dermal matrix [ADM], oncoplastic surgery), there is concern that nonplastic surgeons are performing a growing proportio…

Plastic surgeons have used the reconstructive ladder for many decades as a standard directory for complex trauma reconstruction with the goal of repairing body structures and restoring functionality. This consists of different surgical mane…
