INTRODUCTION: This work aims to assess lower limb free flaps spontaneous sensory recovery by comparing and analyzing a single standardized reconstructive procedure, namely the free noninnervated anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap in order to evaluate which flap or patient-related factors may predict flap reinnervation. METHODS: Between January 2010 and March 2018 all nonreinnervated ALT flaps for lower limb coverage performed at our institution were screened. We excluded from the study flaps with less than 18 months of follow-up time, neurotized flaps, and those from patients who missed the last follow up...

The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for patient-reported outcome questionnaires is important in the interpretation of outcome in clinical and research settings. MCID represents the smallest difference in score that the patient would identify as important. There is, to our knowledge, no reported MCID value for Southampton Dupuytren's scoring scheme (SDSS). The SDSS is a 5-item 20 points scale, where 0 is considered no discomfort or physical limitations and 20 is the worst possible discomfort and physical limitations...

The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has become popular in the medical world due to its content of growth factors and numerous studies are experimental. In experimental studies, the preparation and application of PRP are problematic and allogenic PRP transfers have been preffered, because of the difficulties in preparation of autogenic PRP in animal experiments. Xenogenic transfers and their effects have not been studied in this topic. This study aimed to investigate the effect of autogenic and xenogenic use of PRP on composite graft viability...

In patients with severe blepharoptosis, the function of the levator muscle is usually weak. Even if a large amount of levator is resected, under-correction and recurrence often occur postoperatively. Frontalis suspension is the first choice for severe ptosis; however, the external orbital lifting force of the frontalis causes non-physiological eyelid movement. Conjoint fascial sheath (CFS) is a fibrous tissue which can provide dynamic movement of upper eyelids and has been applied for the treatment of mild and moderate blepharoptosis in recent years...

Soft tissue defects around the ankle are common and must be covered with thin and pliable flaps. A regional flap, particularly from the dorsum of the foot was considered ideal. A neurocutaneous flap, based on the superficial peroneal nerve (SPN) and its branches was designed as a proximally based flap via cadaveric dissection. This study aimed to demonstrate the vascularity and characteristics of the superficial peroneal neurocutaneous (SPNC) flap. The SPNC flap was created in 11 lower limbs (seven cadavers) using a proximally based design...

Background: The use of fast-track surgery pathway has been reported to reduce the stress of operation and accelerate rehabilitation in various surgical specialties. However, there has been a relative dearth of research on this subject for surgical treatment of gynecomastia. Materials and methods: The gynecomastia was treated by liposuction plus pull-through technique. The safety and recovery profiles were retrospectively compared between the patients in a standard pathway (including general anesthesia and postoperative drainage) and those in a fast-track pathway (including patient education, local tumescent anesthesia, no drainage, and effective pain control)...

Mallet finger is a commonly encountered condition in daily practice. However, there is currently no consensus on whether surgical intervention or conservative treatment with orthosis splint is superior. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we compare the treatment outcomes between surgery and orthosis for bony and tendinous mallet finger. We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library according to the PRISMA guidelines from inception to January 15, 2021. The primary outcome was distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint extension lag angle, and secondary outcomes were DIP joint flexion and range of motion (ROM) angle...

Maxillary growth inhibition in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) is an undesired effect that may occur in the teens despite proper primary care. Dental malocclusion and distortion of facial appearance can be treated with external distraction osteogenesis (DO) of the maxilla. This entails a Le Fort I osteotomy, fastening a semi-circular distractor to the skull, distraction for three weeks, and fixation for three months before removal of the device.The aim of this descriptive long-term follow-up study was to evaluate DO of the maxilla from the patient-reported long-term perspective...

Little is known about the safety and surgical outcomes of mastectomy after breast reduction in the trans male population. Several concerns have been voiced that performing mastectomy with prior breast reduction surgery, increases the risk for complications and revision surgery. All transgender men with a history of breast reduction, who underwent a mastectomy at our center between 01-1990 and 01-2021 were identified from our hospital registry. A retrospective chart study was conducted recording surgical characteristics, surgical complications, revision surgery, and clinical follow-up...

The purpose of the study was to produce an algorithm and surgical procedure for optimum treatment of pedal macrodactyly. Surgery was performed on 27 feet of 26 patients with a mean age of 33 months at the time of surgery (range: 7-108 months). A multi-technique procedure based on the involved elements of the foot (soft tissue, phalanx, or metatarsal, or a combination of these) was adopted. The intermetatarsal width ratio, phalanx spread angle, and metatarsal spread angle was used to evaluate the severity of the macrodactyly and the effect of treatment...

Different factors have to be considered and weighted in the treatment algorithm of lower extremity reconstruction. A combination of both clinicians' and patients' perspectives is necessary to provide a conclusive picture. Currently, there aren't any standardized and validated measurement data sets for lower extremity reconstructions. This makes it necessary to identify the relevant domains. We, therefore, performed a systematic review and metanalysis of outcome measurements and evaluated their ability to measure outcomes after lower extremity reconstruction...

The Camper's chiasm (CC) originates from the decussation of tendon fibers of the flexor digitorum superficialis at the level of the proximal phalanx. Previous studies described several conformations of the CC, but none has studied the asymmetry pattern for each finger. We lack studies about the relationship between the vincula tendinum and the morphology of the CC. We aimed to study the precise pattern of asymmetry and the aforementioned relationship in a cadaveric study. We studied the fingers of 9 fresh frozen human hands (thumb excluded)...

Conventional abdominoplasty techniques commonly cause postoperative peri- and infraumbilical skin hypesthesia due to abdominal skin flap undermining. The aim of this study was to evaluate abdominal skin sensation after corset trunkoplasty in massive weight loss patients. Forty-nine massive weight loss patients suffering from excess skin underwent corset trunkoplasty between April 2017 and July 2021. Patient demographics and perioperative complications were recorded. Sensibility of the abdominal skin was measured in three qualities postoperatively using a Semmes-Weinstein monofilament, Tip-Therm® device for thermal sensation and a cotton wooden stick for sharp/blunt discrimination...

BACKGROUND: In patients with nerve tissue defects, the use of autologous nerve grafts is the standard method of treatment. Alternatives to autologous, nerve grafts have attracted the attention of reconstructive surgeons. In this study, the results of nerve repairs using acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in an experimental rat sciatic nerve defect model are presented. METHODS: Thirty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into 5 groups: Group 1: control group, Group 2: negative control group ( n  = 6), Group 3: autologous nerve graft group ( n  = 10), Group 4: donor site entubulated with ADM group ( n  = 10); and Group 5: nerve graft entubulated with ADM group ( n  = 10)...
