ABSTRACT Facial lymphedema (FL) is a potential complication following head‐and‐neck tumor (HNT) therapy. Conservative management often difficult, and there limited literature on surgical treatments for FL. This report presents three cases of FL treated with lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA). All patients were male ISL stage 2 treatment oral squamous cell carcinoma, aged 59, 45, 55 years. In each case, double end‐to‐end LVAs performed in the preauricular region (right side 1 3, left case...

Summary: The increasing necessity for solo surgery in plastic and reconstructive microsurgery is driven by contemporary challenges such as a growing aging population, shortage of qualified assistants, the ongoing recovery efforts from COVID-19. Historically limited to remote or exceptional circumstances, now more frequently performed due these evolving factors. Technological advancements, including robotics, play crucial role facilitating this transition supporting trend toward...

Background: Inferior lymphatic vessel (LV) quality was thought to be associated with prolonged lymphedema duration (LD), which can lead unfavorable lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) outcomes. However, increasing evidence supports the use of LVA in treatment advanced lymphedema. Hence, this study aimed determine impact LD on LV and outcomes after patients secondary lower limb Patients Methods: A total 189 who underwent supermicrosurgical were retrospectively reviewed enrolled. The group...

The traditional transsphenoidal approach for pituitary surgery can be performed via transnasal, transseptal, or sublabial routes through unilateral bilateral nostrils. It requires wide mucosal and septal dissection postoperative nasal packing. Endoscopic has been widely used because it allows excellent visualization with minimal invasion. Recently, also applied to surgery.From January, 1997 February, 1999, 40 patients adenomas underwent the using a rigid endoscope one nostril. Among cases,...

Background: Lipomas are the most common benign mesenchymal tumors in adults. On other hand, giant lipomas, defined as lipomas over >10 cm length of 1000 g weight, less frequently seen, can be clinically challenging to manage, and require careful attention. While cases benign, soft, asymptomatic masses, there is potential for functional limitation, nerve compression syndromes, sarcomatous changes such lesions. Methods: A case series presented an extensive review literature was conducted...

We propose that repetitive chronic microtrauma, in susceptible individuals, is a significant causative factor the development of acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM). This observational study documents possible correlation between anatomical site ALM and recognised high-pressure sites on plantar foot. The pattern distribution not only matches gait analysis pattern, but concentration cases correlates with zones highest pressure. surface area also highlights discrepancy affected incidence for...

The role of vasopressors has long been a subject debate in microsurgery. Conventional wisdom dictates the avoidance vasopressor use, due to concerns such as peripheral vasoconstriction, inducing vasospasm anastomoses, and leading failure perfusion. It since become common practice some centers avoid intraoperative use during free tissue transfer surgery. Recent studies have suggested that this traditional view may not be supported by clinical evidence. However, none these separated method...

Flap monitoring following free tissue transfer is a standard practice in high-volume microsurgical centers. It well-understood that upon identification of vascular compromise, prompt re-exploration theater directly correlated with higher chance successful salvage.[1] For such actions to occur, well-established escalation protocol should be place and rapidly implemented when required allow assessment by senior clinician determine the need for re-exploration.
