This case achieved successful abdominal wall reconstruction through staged management in a traumatic diaphragmatic hernia (TDH) patient with intra-abdominal hypertension: emergency open abdomen, skin grafting at 1 week, and definitive repai…

[BACKGROUND] Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV), also known as clubfoot, is a common congenital orthopaedic condition characterised by an excessively turned-in foot (equinovarus) and high medial longitudinal arch (cavus). If left untreat…

Scar contracture deformity, which can lead to dysfunction of hand and low quality of life, is one of the common complication after hand burns. The prevention measures of scar contracture after hand burns include large skin grafting, prevent…

A 26-year-old female with "Progeria-like" phenotype presented with bilateral lagophthalmos and exposure keratopathy. Given the paucity of available skin to harvest, in conjunction with co-morbidities, standard surgery in the form of convent…

Alloderm as a biomechanical scaffold in situations such as skin grafting has been previously demonstrated. In this paper we describe its utility in a broad range of post-traumatic and congenital hand defects. During the recent three years, …

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,…

[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…

[UNLABELLED] We observe delayed referrals to appropriate Microsurgery Unit and definitive treatment of traumatic limb amputations. Cases with wrist proximal amputations have a deadline for surgical replantation as these configure life-threa…

Soft tissue damage in electric burn injuries is often deep and may expose tendons, bones, or joints in the hand. Here, we present the case of a 76-year-old man treated using perifascial areolar tissue (PAT) transplantation for covering the …

[OBJECTIVE] 1) To describe the authors' technique of anterolateral thigh (ALT) phalloplasty with staged skin graft urethroplasty and 2) to report the surgical outcomes and complications of this technique in a preliminary patient cohort. [M…

[LEARNING OBJECTIVES] After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Understand the cardinal principles in the management of postburn deformities in the face and neck. 2. Understand reconstruction of specific subsites in…

Lymphedema is a manifestation of lymphatic system disturbance and deranged lymph transport, with resultant swelling, a proliferation of parenchymal and stromal elements, and excess deposition of the extracellular matrix. It may occur in any…

High energy open midfoot injuries are uncommon but devastating injuries. A combination of complex fracture dislocations and soft tissue injury patterns render reconstruction challenging. The aim of this study was to assess the surgical and …

[UNLABELLED] The Surgical Training and Educational Platform (STEP) was developed by the American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH) as a cost-effective set of surgical simulation modules designed to assess critical skills in hand surger…

Advances in microsurgery together with improvements in reconstructive surgical techniques over recent decades have enlarged the scope of available techniques for mutilated hand reconstruction, shifting the reconstructive paradigm from resto…

As microsurgical expertise has improved, allowing for the safe transfer of smaller and more refined flaps, free tissue transfer has continued to gain popularity for the management of pediatric soft tissue and bony defects. For the past 2 de…

[BACKGROUND] Oncologic resection of the scalp confers several obstacles to the reconstructive surgeon dependent upon patient-specific and wound-specific factors. We aim to describe our experiences with various reconstructive methods, and de…

After major burn injury, once survival is achieved by the immediate excision of all deep burn eschar, we are faced with a patient who is often physiologically well but with very extensive wounds. While very early grafting yields excellent r…
