ABSTRACT Introduction Lymphedema, a debilitating characterized by localized fluid retention and tissue swelling, results from abnormalities in the lymphatic system. In case of primary lymphedema, this condition is attributed to malformations vessels or nodes, it marked relentless progression leading irreversible fibrosis after repetitive inflammation. Many questions regarding its treatment, such as choice type intervention timing, still remain unanswered. This study aims present our...
Abstract Background The use of conservative mastectomies has risen significantly during the last few years. reconstructive choice direct-to-implant reconstruction become more practicable with modern mastectomy techniques. initial trend in Italian centers was to dual-plane hybrid reconstruction. However, a high level complications been registered. From 2015 onward, our centers, pre-pectoral approach adopted. authors sought describe gradually discard sub-pectoral technique lower lateral pole...
Abstract Background There is no consensus on the appropriate treatment of lymphedema. Proposed techniques include lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA), vascularized lymph nodes transfer (VLNT), and suction lipectomy (SL). The benefit combined procedures has also been postulated. In this prospective study, a protocol proposed as an alternative to single‐procedure strategies. Methods Between January 2016 October 2018, we enrolled patients with secondary lymphedema lower limbs, stage II‐III...
Abstract Background Multiple surgical alternatives are available to treat breast cancer‐related lymphedema (BCRL) providing a variable spectrum of outcomes. This study aimed present the multidisciplinary approach (B‐LYMA) systematically BCRL. Methods Seventy‐eight patients presenting with BCRL between 2017 and 2021 were included. The average age BMI 49.4 ± 7.8 years 28.1 3.5 kg/m 2 , respectively. Forty had ISL stage II (51.3%) 38 III (48.7%). mean follow‐up was 26.4 months. Treatment...
Although rehabilitation medicine emphasizes a holistic health approach, there is still large gap of knowledge about potential interventions aimed at improving overall wellbeing through cosmetic interventions. Therefore, this narrative review investigates the role different rehabilitative techniques in enhancing aesthetics, quality life, and psychosocial for patients with disabilities. The study follows SANRA framework criteria review. Literature searches across PubMed/Medline, Web Science,...
Interposition vein grafts (IVG) and vascular bridge flaps (VBF) have been exploited as conduit in challenging head neck reconstructions.A retrospective review was conducted on 6025 flaps. The effect of patients' characteristics length IVG flap compromise loss were analyzed. Comparison between VBF performed.The rates for the overall group 8.2% 3.2%, respectively. An used 309 free average 6.9 ± 4.2 cm. unplanned return to operation room occurred 32 cases (10.4%) failure 12 patients (3.9%)....
Recent studies have analyzed the combination of suction-assisted lipectomy (SAL) and vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT) in lymphedema treatment, reporting positive outcomes. However, it is difficult to draw conclusions due heterogeneity studies. Aim this prospective study evaluate effectiveness VLNT SAL treatment.Between January 2016 May 2019, 94 patients with upper or lower limb stage IIb-III were enrolled treated gastroepiploic followed by SAL. Patients prospectively evaluated through...
Background and Objectives: Lymphedema is a chronic progressive condition that leads to significant morbidity, including recurrent infections, fibrosis, functional limitations. Conservative treatments often offer limited relief, particularly in severe cases. Vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT), especially using the gastroepiploic flap, has emerged as promising intervention. This study evaluates long-term outcomes of VLNT combined with suction-assisted lipectomy (SAL) for extremity...
Bilateral lower extremity lymphedema is a rare and invalidating condition that poses great challenge to the scientific community, deeply affects quality of life (QoL) affected patients. A combined protocol consisting lymph node transfer reductive method have never been reported for treatment this condition, except small case series with brief follow-up periods.This retrospective study analyzed data 29 patients, mean age 51 ± 17.1 years, who had diagnosed bilateral lymphedema. Gastroepiploic...
Background and Objectives: Significant progress has been made in skin cancer diagnosis, with a surge available technologies recent years. Despite this, the practical application integration of these dermatology plastic surgery remain uneven. Materials Methods: A comprehensive 20-question survey was designed distributed using online administration software (Google Forms, 2018, Google, Mountain View, CA, USA) from June 2023 to September 2023. The aimed assess knowledge utilization dermatologic...
Lower lip reconstruction is crucial to restore oral integrity post-cancer excision. A perfect balance between form and function should be achieved. With an aging demographic, adapting surgical methods meet the unique needs of elderly becomes imperative. Our study aims introduce a specialized algorithm for lower reconstruction; it was tailored geriatric patients emphasized use "simpler flaps". Additionally, "Pearls Pitfalls" were provided surgeons approaching reconstruction. Between January...
Abstract Patients presenting with chronic wounds in venous insufficiency often represent a challenge, like other conditions, lymphatic impairment, may complicate the wound healing process. The purpose of this report is to highlight how treatment impairment be beneficial patients affected by ulcers concomitant insufficiency. We present case 78‐year‐old woman (CVI) long‐lasting secondary sclerosing agents for varicose veins. patient's condition was refractory both conservative and surgical...
Background and Objectives: Conservative treatment represents an essential pillar of lymphedema management, along with debulking physiologic surgeries. Despite the consistent number options, there is currently no agreement on their indications possible combinations. When dealing unusual presentation as in genitalia (Genital Lymphedema-GL), choice becomes even more difficult. The authors aimed to present targeted algorithm single combined modalities for rare GL order face this paucity...
Background Head and neck melanoma is a clinical challenge. Indeed, cutaneous head shows worse prognosis in comparison to melanomas of other body sites. Although the emphasis on facial cosmetic preservation plays pivotal role areas, specific Facial Aesthetic Units (FAU) could also play key prognostic evaluation malignancy. Methods The aim current study was evaluate general outcome clinicopathological features detect differences according each FAU. Kaplan-Meier product used calculate survival...
