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: In reconstructive microsurgery, the aesthetic outcome has gained increasing importance, and new applications of flaps have been explored, focusing on improved donor site concealment. This paper presents our experience with gaining popularity in specifically SCIP/SIEA PAP flaps. Methods: Since August 2022, offered for soft tissue reconstruction across all body regions. These were added to other traditionally free flaps, such as RFF, mSAP, ALT, DIEP, LD. Where defect could be...
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...
Summary: The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is the gold standard in autologous breast reconstruction, but it rarely used for superficial limb defects due to its excessive thickness. In this case report, we describe innovative use of DIEP reconstructing a large, shallow defect on anterior thigh 21-year-old man, previously treated with split-thickness skin grafts. To achieve large yet thin and well-vascularized flap, combined 2 techniques: surgical delay procedure liposuction....
Twenty per cent of sentinel lymph node (SLN)-positive melanoma patients have positive non-SLN nodes in completion dissection (CLND). We investigated SLN tumour load, non-sentinel positivity and disease-free survival (DFS) to assess whether certain could be spared CLND. Sentinel biopsy was performed on 392 between 1999 2005. Median observation period 38.8 months. load did not predict positivity: 30.8% with macrometastases (⩾2 mm) 16.4% micrometastases (⩽2 had (P=0.09). Tumour recurrences...
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...
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...

Fractures of the proximal phalanges fingers are common injuries in children and adolescents. The majority can be treated by closed reduction splinting, complications rare. purpose prospective study was to document results functional-conservative treatment extra-articular physeal fractures using either a functional forearm cast or Lucerne Cast (LuCa).Clinical radiographic 13 pediatric patients having (e.g., juxta-epiphyseal fractures, Salter-Harris type I II fractures) were recorded through...
Atrophien der intrinsischen Handmuskulatur gelten als typisches Symptom bei "true neurologic"-Form des "thoracic outlet syndrome" (TOS). Bereits 1970 wurde die klassische Form dieser Entität mit Halsrippe oder verlängertem Processus transversus C7 fibrösem Band zur ersten Rippe und resultierender Atrophie Handbinnenmuskulatur beschrieben. Damit übereinstimmend wiesen auch alle unsere Patientinnen entsprechenden beim TOS dieselbe anatomische Konstellation auf. Basierend auf Beobachtung wird...

Propeller flaps have gained significant popularity over the past decades as a local reconstructive option. Although they avoid free flap procedure, present several disadvantages such poor perfusion at tip of (often point greatest need), inability to work simultaneously with orthopedic team in same body region, and necessity creating generously sized due elasticity skin, especially context traumatized edematous limbs.1 In addition these, there is another important drawback that, according our...

Einleitung: Akustikusneurinome sind benigne Tumore des N. vestibularis im Bereich Kleinhirnbruckenwinkels oder inneren Gehorgangs. Bei langsamem Wachstum ist neben der operativen Entfernung Strahlentherapie eine ,wait and scan-Strategie unter regelmasigen MRT-Kontrollen moglich. Objektivierbare Tumorvolumenbestimmungen konnen mittels zeitaufwendiger Segmentierungen durchgefuhrt werden. Durch Automatisierung Segmentierungsvorganges wird diese Methode schnell, genau und objektiv einsetzbar....
