BACKGROUND The primary purposes of this study were to introduce a novel fasciocutaneous free flap from the infraclavicular region based on the anterior perforator (AP) branch of the transverse cervical artery (TCA) and the retrograde external jugular vein (EJV), describe a reliable approach to flap design and elevation, and assess early clinical results. METHODS This was a prospective observa...

Introduction: The pericranial flaps' benefits have been described in many otolaryngologic, maxillofacial and plastic surgery literature. The benefits ar e due to the pericranial flaps unique characteristics including good flexibility and mobility, very rich blood supply from several arterial sources and access to sufficient bulk of the flap without any need for distant surgical sites. Using pe...

The aim of this study was to estimate the overall viability islanded facial artery myomucosal flap (iFAMM) compared (FAMM). A systematic review English articles performed on PubMed and Cochrane Library electronic databases. Search terms included every nomenclature variant for FAMM iFAMM flap. total 373 were identified, 20 considered eligible inclusion in review. 486 flaps evaluated (350 136 i-F...

BACKGROUND Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a fairly common tumor of the oral cavity. This tumor may affect any part of the mucosa of the oral cavity especially the tongue, the floor of the mouth and lips. The encountered intra-oral defects after tumor resection are often large and require climbing up the reconstruction ladder to more complex reconstructive options for accepted functional and c...

approximately 25% of all oral cavity carcinomas involve the lips, and the primary management of these lesions is complete surgical resection. loss of tissue in the lips after resection is treated with a variety of techniques, depending on the extension and location of the defect. here we review highly accepted techniques of lip reconstruction and some of new trials with significant clinical res...

Background: Meningiomas are slow-growing neoplasms, accounting for 20% of all primary intracranial neoplasms and 25% intraspinal tumors. Atypical anaplastic meningiomas infrequent, representing fewer than 5% meningiomas. Unusually, they can show aggressive behavior, extracranial metastases extremely rare, approximately 0.1% reported cases. Case Description: Fifty-six-year-old male patient diagn...

Patients with burn scars often experience functional problems because of scar contractures. Surgical treatment may be indicated for those burn scar contractures. If the contractures are small and linear, the contraction bands can be treated with local transposition flaps like the Z-plasty. Broader, diffuse contractures are more challenging and require a different surgical approach, such as the ...

Aim: Head and neck region reconstructions are often delicate procedures that require different solutions at layers. The use of chimeric flaps offers the interesting characteristic combining tissues, which is extremely valuable in this setting. In present work, we share our experience with types conventional flaps, such as radial flap, medial sural artery perforator fibula osteocutaneous flap.

Achieving adequate coverage of soft tissue defects located on the lower third of the legs and feet is challenging for reconstructive surgeons. Fasciocutaneous flaps can be used to meet this challenge. Two common fasciocutaneous flaps used in this context are the reverse sural flap and lateral supramalleolar flap (LSMF). Plastic and reconstructive surgeons are relatively unfamiliar with the seco...

BACKGROUND The goal of this study was to investigate the anatomy of the peroneal artery and its perforators, and to report the clinical results of reconstruction with peroneal artery perforator flaps. METHODS The authors dissected 4 cadaver legs and investigated the distribution, course, origin, number, type, and length of the perforators. Peroneal artery perforator flap surgery was performed...
