Vessels originating from the femoral artery and traversing cranially in subcutaneous tissue over inguinal ligament exhibit great variability. We noted that superficial inferior epigastric (SIEA) circumflex iliac (SCIA) branch (SCIA-SB) are widely used interchangeably literature. Fuse et al1 attempted to elucidate this ambiguity, defining as a either sharing common trunk with deep or coursing toward anterior superior spine without such trunk. Then they defined SIEA running medially along...
Background: Despite its many advantages, the deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap requires fascial incision and intramuscular dissection, which can lead to pain weakening of abdominal wall. The superficial (SIEA) offers an alternative avoid this damage but is often considered unreliable due variable anatomy. In study, we report our experience in autologous breast reconstruction using either branch circumflex iliac (SCIA-SB) or SIEA as sole pedicle. Methods: A retrospective study...
Getting enough volume in autologous breast reconstruction can be difficult and transferring multiple free flaps to reconstruct a single provide solution that problem. How connect the pedicles recipient site has been point of discussion literature two main approaches have described. The first one involves using caudal stumps internal mammary (IM) vessels is usually referred "cranial-caudal" approach. second implies anastomosis between flap's pedicle branch other . This technique named...
Recently, the infiltration of a subpopulation cells represented by mononucleated extracted from peripheral blood [Peripheral Blood-Mononuclear Cells (PB-MNCs)] is becoming useful technique for medical and surgical regenerative procedures. Due to angiogenetic properties PB-MNCs, these is, in our opinion, new option indicated treatment pathologies characterized tissue dystrophy, loss vascularization, non-healing wounds.
Background: Several studies have reported preliminary experiences with the anterior intercostal artery perforator (AICAP) flap for treating partial breast defects or implant exposure following reconstruction. As radiotherapy is commonly administered cancer, some patients may present heavily damaged skin flaps and chronic radiodermatitis. We describe new applications of a de-epithelialized AICAP flap, used in combination an implant, reconstruction when other treatment options are unavailable....
Background: The use of recipient veins with venous reflux for lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) is discouraged because it commonly believed that may lead to venous-lymphatic (VLR). VLR a phenomenon in which blood refluxed into the lymphatic lumen after anastomosis, potentially lowering long-term patency rate. However, this concept yet be validated. This study aimed determine impact on outcomes when were used LVA treating unilateral lower limb lymphedema. Study design: Seventy-nine patients...
Two-stage implant-based breast reconstruction remains the most commonly used technique for rebuilding a breast. Subpectoral implant placement minimizes complications, such as capsular contracture, visibility, malposition, and extrusion. Nevertheless, it is associated with high animation deformity (AD). Prepectoral eliminates AD but subject to higher risk of extrusion visibility. In this prospective, single-center study we present new aimed create hybrid pocket in which upper portion placed...
Background: Most unstable hand fractures in children are treated by closed methods. If osteosynthesis is required, Kirschner (K)-wires commonly used, though they carry a risk of injury to the physis. We have been using mini external fixator system (MEFS) for treatment periphyseal hand. The aim this study describe application and report outcomes MEFS Methods: retrospectively reviewed all patients with fracture from March 2010 December 2019. Data regard age, sex, dominance, digit bone injured,...
Reconstruction of osseous defects the distal phalanx thumb is usually addressed with free bone grafts or vascularized flaps. Some reports demonstrated possibility to harvest an osteo-cutaneous flap in dorso-ulnar side first metacarpal success. In same manner, no are present literature which deficits were reconstructed this elevated as exclusively flap. We report our successful experience one case reconstruction by mean reverse flow pedicled The patient was a 45-year-old woman symptoms...
Complete reconstruction of the hamate bone has been reported in literature mostly following cancer excision or avascular necrosis. For exiguity tissue deficit, grafting usually used as treatment option for its rapidity and easiness to perform, even if a variable amount resorption may occur. In traumatic cases, microbial contamination jeopardize success well performed graft vascularised grafts represent better reconstructive option. Here we describe first case patient underwent complete...
