The utility and outcomes of the temporalis muscle flap for palate reconstruction after maxillectomy for malignancy.

Back Ground: A common pedicled facial technique in head and neck reconstruction is the TMF It can be utilised to replace missing tissues in a variety of conditions, including oral deformities of the hard and soft palate.

Aim: Aim of the study was to document the utility and outcomes with the reconstruction of the palate using TM flaps following Maxillectomy For maxillary sinus malignancies.

Methodology: The study included 24 patients who were operated on for cancer maxilla and eligible for maxillectomy and reconstruction of the Palate using temporalis flap.

Functional Recellularization of Acellular Rat Liver Scaffold by Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells: Molecular Evidence for Wnt/B-Catenin Upregulation.

Background: Liver transplantation remains the only viable therapy for liver failure but has a severely restricted utility. Here, we aimed to decellularize rat livers to form acellular 3D bio-scaffolds suitable for seeding with induced pluripotent cells (iPSCs) as a tool to investigate the role of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in liver development and generation.

Methods: Dissected rat livers were randomly divided into three groups: I (control); II (decellularized scaffolds) and III (recellularized scaffolds).

Adipose mesenchymal stem cells combined with platelet-rich plasma accelerate diabetic wound healing by modulating the Notch pathway.

Background: Diabetic foot ulceration is a serious chronic complication of diabetes mellitus characterized by high disability, mortality, and morbidity. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been widely used for diabetic wound healing due to its high content of growth factors. However, its application is limited due to the rapid degradation of growth factors.

Oncoplastic Volume Replacement for Breast Cancer: Latissimus Dorsi Flap versus Thoracodorsal Artery Perforator Flap.

Background: Volume replacement oncoplastic breast techniques have become one of the standard lines in the treatment of early breast cancer. They have better cosmetic outcome and patient satisfaction. Latissimus dorsi (LD) flap is one of the most commonly used flaps for these techniques.

Functional and Aesthetic Outcomes of Reconstruction of Soft-Tissue Defects of the Heel with Free Flap.

Objective: To evaluate functional and aesthetic outcomes of the reconstruction of soft-tissue defects of the heel with microsurgical techniques using a free radial forearm flap and an anterolateral thigh flap.

Patients And Methods: The study included 25 patients, 15 males and 10 females, with a mean age of 34.3 ± 10.

Outcome of Pedicled Thoracodorsal Artery Perforator Flap in the Surgical Treatment of Stage II and III Hidradenitis Suppurativa of Axilla.

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory disease affecting the apocrine glands of the axillary, groin, and mammary regions with significant physical and psychosocial sequelae. Surgical excision of the affected tissue is the criterion standard treatment. Advanced cases of axillary HS are associated with high rates of recurrence and require extensive surgical resection with challenging reconstruction associated with risk of postoperative complications.
