Background: The medial sural artery perforator flap is a versatile option in reconstructive microsurgery. However, most reports of this have been limited by sample size. This study reviews the experience single large-volume center using and its variants for variety purposes. Methods: A retrospective review all patients who received reconstruction between March 2006 July 2014 was performed. Results: Two-hundred flaps were used at three anatomical regions: head neck ( n = 129), upper extremity...
Fibula flap dissection sacrifices the blood vessels to flexor hallucis longus (FHL) and other calf muscles. This novel MRI study investigates perfusion fibrosis of FHL muscle after fibula harvest. A cohort from September 2018 January 2021, we prospectively recruited head neck cancer patients who were planned receive transfer for jaw reconstruction. All participants received before one year operation. Muscle was quantified via extracellular volume matrix fraction (ECV); time peak (TTP), T2*...
The metacarpal-like hand is a severe injury, never addressed before. It describes that has lost significant degree of prehension through wide array amputations, involving all digits proximal to the functional length except in one finger or two digits, including thumb. thumb condition can be used differentiate between types. In type I, intact amputated at distal interphalangeal joint (functional length); therefore, reconstruction focused mainly on fingers. II, joint; both and Thumb amputation...
Fu-Chan Wei is a world-renowned plastic and reconstructive surgeon. He clearly one of the most influential innovative surgeons in history surgery. The Taiwanese legend innovator osteoseptocutaneous fibula flap, which revolutionized reconstruction composite bone soft tissue defects jaw extremities. has pioneered several perforator flaps, including free style variety. taken toe-to-hand microsurgical transplantation to whole new level. not only recognized for his surgical skills clinical...
Summary: Successful reconstruction of an oromandibular defect with the osteoseptocutaneous fibula flap necessitates flawless design and inset, which is experience-demanding endeavor. Laterality has been thought to pose a certain challenge reconstruction. To address this concern guide authors proposed using surgeon’s fist thumb up replicate key anatomical landmarks flap: peroneal vessels proximal bone end, posterior crural septum including septal vessels, skin, lateral surface bone. This...
INTRODUCTION: The medial sural artery perforator (MSAP) flap was first described in 2001.1,2 Having constant anatomy, long pedicle, and pliable soft tissue, the shown to be a good alternative option for tissue reconstruction.3,4 aim of this study report our experience with reconstruction throughout body, highlighting its potentially increasing role as workhorse multipurpose reconstruction. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between March 2006 July 2014, MSAP used 200 cases. transplanted free (n=189)...
Sir: Plastic surgery is a problem-solving specialty.1,2 In solving problems, ends are what matter. Similarly, in surgery, outcomes, "the ends" here, determine success and effectiveness of surgical planning execution, given that safe with minimal morbidities. Good outcomes the product expertise, anatomical understanding, technological advancements, when consistently reproducible, proven series adequate volume, they can be used to reinforce certain technique/practice. However, how many outcome...
Multiple free tissue transfer from the same donor site is not well described for microsurgical head and neck reconstruction.Between (8/2011 11/2012), 103 patients received ALT flaps reconstruction; were called first-time flaps. Intra-operative findings used to assess presence of a favorable anatomy future second flap site. And, between 9/2009 12/2013, second-time previously anterior thighs attempted either freely or guided by intra-operative data previous surgery.A was noted in (n: 96/103)....
Chimerism has been associated with the induction and maintenance of tolerance to vascularized composite allotransplants (VCA). Although most VCA studies have examined chimerism using flow cytometry, we proposed that precision in measurement may be better approximated when complimentary polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is applied a specific short tandem repeat (STR). We identified STR, D10Rat25, which exhibited ~20 bp difference length between two rat strains (BN LEW) often utilized as donor...
An unprecedented number of health care providers have been infected and many died during the COVID-19 pandemic. Reconstructive microsurgeons from different surgical backgrounds often are involved in known high-risk patients. The need for a magnification loupe/microscope makes it difficult them to wear recommended personal protection equipment, increasing risk exposure. Although advanced technologies available, they not exploited effectively. To date, no safety guidelines available safe...
