ABSTRACT Background Scalp reconstruction is a challenging field for plastic surgeons. In case of large or complex defects, microsurgical‐free flaps are usually required. Reconstructive failure can result in high morbidity and some cases be life‐threatening. this article, we present our experience the scalp defects with use vastus lateralis (VL) free flap. Patients Methods From July 2013 to 2023, retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent soft tissue VL‐free flap at authors' institution....

Abstract Background Preclinical training in microsurgery usually proceeds through steps of increasing difficulty. Traditionally, advanced is carried out on living animal models which best reproduce the clinical scenario, but recently, interest rights has led to a greater development and spread different non-living for all training. Methods The aim this study was identify, review literature, inanimate suitable basic intermediate/advanced courses evaluate their pros cons. search exclusively...

Introduction: Spheroids are spherical aggregates of cells that mimic the three-dimensional (3D) architecture tissues more closely than traditional two dimensional (2D) cultures. adipose stem (SASCs) show special features such as high multilineage differentiation potential and immunomodulatory activity. These properties have been attributed to their secreted factors, cytokines growth factors. Moreover, a key role is played by extracellular vesicles (EVs), which lead heterogeneous cargo...

Desmoid tumors are characterized by indolent growth, progressive invasion of surrounding tissues and a high rate relapse. We present the case desmoid tumor rising from trapezius young woman. Following resection, we performed functional reconstruction using an innervated gracilis free flap.
