Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on the severe impact of COVID-19-associated mucormycosis in India, particularly how it leads to significant maxillofacial defects requiring surgical intervention and antifungal treatments.
- - Researchers evaluated eight patients who underwent single-stage delayed free flap reconstruction, measuring outcomes related to quality of life, aesthetics, and speech at one and three months post-surgery.
- - Results showed notable improvements in patients' quality of life and aesthetics over three months, indicating that this surgical approach is beneficial for those affected by rhino-orbito-maxillary defects.
Background: Hand injuries pose challenges due to complexity and aesthetic-functional concerns. Dorsum of hand injuries are difficult to treat due to thin skin cover and increased propensity to exposure of underlying structures. Perforator-based flaps can provide better outcomes with minimal donor site morbidity.

Various methods of free flap monitoring have been described, but clinical assessment is the standard method for among all. In this study, role of infrared thermography is evaluated for free flap monitoring.

Free flaps have been accepted as a reasonable option to solve this dilemma, but they require the complexity of microsurgery. This study aimed to compare the postoperative and clinical outcomes of propeller flap and fasciocutaneous free flap in the reconstruction of complex lower limb defects.
