Secondary lymphedema is a common postcancer treatment complication, but the underlying pathological processes are poorly understood and no curative exists. To investigate pathomechanisms, top-down approach was applied, using genomic data validating role of single target. RNA sequencing lymphedematous mouse skin indicated upregulation many T cell-related networks, indeed depletion CD4+ cells attenuated lymphedema. The significant Foxp3, transcription factor specifically expressed by...
Extravasation injuries are a common and challenging problem in hospitalized newborns. Accidental infusion leakage into the surrounding tissues immature infants may frequently result skin necrosis, with significant risk of functional cosmetic impairment.In present study we reviewed 34 cases severe extravasation occurring 1,409 neonates single neonatal unit over 24 months (incidence 2.4%). Total parenteral nutrition solutions were involved most cases. All patients treated within 30 minutes...
Introduction Up to one-fifth of breast cancer survivors will develop chronic cancer-related lymphoedema (BCRL). To date, complex physical decongestion therapy (CDT) is the gold standard treatment. However, it mainly symptomatic and often ineffective in preventing BCRL progression. Lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) vascularised lymph node transfer (VLNT) are microsurgical techniques that aim restore lymphatic drainage. This international randomised trial aims evaluate advantages interventions...
The purpose of this prospective experimental and clinical study is to evaluate the effectiveness intralesional injection platelet‐rich plasma (PRP), in management non‐healing chronic wounds. Skin defects were created ears 20 white New Zealand rabbits. In group, autologous PRP was injected intralesionally. control group treated conservatively. Nineteen out cases healed within a mean time 24·9 days. seven period 26·7 days, ulcers did not heal at day 28 six full thickness ear defect recorded....
We tested our hypothesis that implantation of aligned nanofibrillar collagen scaffolds (BioBridge™) can both prevent and reduce established lymphedema in the rat model. Our authors report clinical cases demonstrate new lymphatic formation guided by BioBridge™ as seen near-infrared (NIR) fluoroscopy magnetic resonance (MR) lymphography.A model was utilized. A prevention group received immediately after lymphadenectomy. with autologous adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC; treatment group) or...
The combined use of a deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap coupled with vascularized inguinal lymph nodes (VILN) for simultaneous breast and lymphedema reconstruction has already been well established, promising results have reported. However, standardized approach the planning shaping this is still lacking. We aim to propose comprehensive algorithmic delayed unilateral using predesigned abdominal associated lymph-node transfer. present in detail preoperative measurements surgical...
Repair and rehabilitation of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon in zone I may be demanding. The aim authors' study was to assess a new technique for reinsertion distal tendon.The series consisted 18 patients who required primary (n = 10) or secondary 8) repair I. A half-Bruner incision extended into volar skin expose insertion site. Two drill holes were made through base phalanx obliquely from dorsolateral direction. modified Kessler suture passed then these tied anteriorly, providing...
Distal flap necrosis remains a major complication in subdermal plexus (random) skin flaps. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been shown to improve the survival of ischemic random flaps rats. The objective this study was evaluate effect locally injected autologous PRP on long (5:1 length-to-width ratio) dogs.A 2x10 cm created bilaterally abdominal wall six Beagle dogs. One randomly selected side received 2.5 ml fresh auto-logous evenly between sutures underneath flap, whereas other left...
Abstract Background The use of autologous tissues is considered the mainstay for delayed breast reconstruction. Aside free abdominal flaps, which are most commonly used, fat-augmented latissimus-dorsi (FALD) flap has been recently shown a reliable alternative option pure In this retrospective study, we aim to compare outcomes reconstructions using extended FALD and deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap, with an emphasis on patients' characteristics, demographic data, complications,...
Abstract Background The aim of our study was to evaluate a new propeller vascularized lymphatic tissue flap (pVLNT) combined with aligned nanofibrillar collagen scaffolds (CS) (BioBridge) in reducing lymphedema the rat model. Methods Unilateral left hindlimb created 15 female Sprague–Dawley rats following inguinal and popliteal lymph nodes (LN) resection radiation. An pVLNT elevated from contralateral groin transferred through skin tunnel affected groin. Four threads were attached inserted...
Background: Free abdominal flaps are the first option in autologous breast reconstruction using multidetector-row computed tomographic angiography for mapping perforators. The authors aim to evaluate impact of a preoperative design shaping new symmetrical contralateral breast, assisted by angiography. Methods: Thirty-two consecutive patients who underwent delayed unilateral with free were divided into two groups. In group A, was shaped intraoperatively and inset, whereas B, used. All before...
This retrospective study aimed to assess the impact of certain flap characteristics on long-term outcomes following microsurgical treatment in Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema (BCRL) patients.Sixty-four out 65 BCRL patients, guided by "Selected Lymph Node" ("SeLyN") technique, underwent Vascularized Node Transfer (VLNT) between 2012 and 2018. According their surface size, flaps were divided into small (<25 cm2, n = 32) large (>25 32). Twelve six combined with free abdominally based breast...
Dear Editor, We read with great interest the article by Mortada et al entitled "A Novel Approach to Incision Marking in Abdominoplasty Using 3D Printing Technology: A Description of Technique."1 The authors present an innovative technique utilizing 3-dimensional (3D)-printed tools for abdominoplasty incision marking, which we believe merits further discussion. concept using printing technology plastic surgery is already widespread many fields,2 whereas its application surgical planning...
Abstract Background A new technique named “Selected Lymph Node” (“SeLyN”) was evaluated, aiming to identify the most functional groin lymph nodes (LNs) for an effective LN transplantation. Methods Bilateral lower‐limb SPECT‐CT performed in upper‐limb lymphedema patients, select radioactive inguinal LN. Recorded data included demographics, stage, etiology of lymphedema, flap consistency accordance preoperative findings, size, number LN, and harvesting time. Infection episodes per year volume...
