Three abdominal defects, three pedicled flaps.
The reconstruction of complex defects in the abdominal wall after wound infection or trauma can be challenging. In this article, a superficial inferior epigastric artery flap, a tensor fascia lata flap, and an anterolateral thigh flap used for 3 different abdominal wall reconstructions are described. The authors conclude that different specific abdominal wall defects can be successfully reconst...
متن کاملTreatment of Hardware Exposure After Severe infections in Spine Surgery with Pedicled Muscular Flaps
The use of internal fixation for spine surgery has become a standard approach for virtually all types of procedures that require bone stabilization. The potential advantages include rigid fixation with early mobilization and more comfort in the post-operative period. However, complications like wound infections can jeopardize the final outcome of these procedures. These infections range from sm...
متن کاملReducing Amputation Rates After Severe Frostbite.
Evidence-Based Answer In patients with severe frostbite, tPA plus a prostacyclin may be used to decrease the risk of digital amputation. (Strength of Recommendation [SOR]: B, based on a single randomized controlled trial [RCT].) tPA can be used alone and is associated with lower amputation rates compared with local wound care. (SOR: C, based on lower-quality cohort studies.) A 2011, open-label ...
متن کاملFrozen chips: an unusual cause of severe frostbite injury.
A case of severe frostbite injury to the right foot is presented. This was caused by the inappropriate application of a bag of frozen chips to the foot in an attempt to ease non-specific pain. No specific acute traumatic injury was identified. As the patient was a teacher of physical education, the pain had initially been assumed to originate from a minor musculoskeletal injury. Full recovery e...
متن کاملModern Oral Cavity Reconstruction with Free Flaps and Pedicled Flaps
Small defects resulting from tumor ablation can be successfully managed with primary closure (i.e., limited excisions within the oral cavity), sometimes can be left to heal for secondary intention (transoral oropharyngeal/laryngeal/hypopharyngeal resections) or can be resurfaced using skin grafts or small local flaps, but in the majority of the cases the resulting defect requires a flap transpo...
