Clinical and Radiological Evaluation of Onlay Mesh Abdominoplasty in Obese Multiparous Patients with Moderate-to-Severe Rectus Diastasis.

Background: Women with multiple pregnancies often experience abdominal protrusion and/or a lax abdominal wall. Various open surgical techniques have been developed to address rectus diastasis in abdominoplasty, ranging from suture plication to mesh reinforcement. This study aims to compare the clinical and radiological changes between traditional abdominal plication and the addition of non-absorbable mesh for rectus muscle (RM) diastasis repair in terms of function, postoperative outcome, and recurrence.

Outcome comparison between thoracodorsal artery perforator flap and muscle-sparing latissimus dorsi flap in axillary reconstruction after hidradenitis suppurativa excision.

Background: Thoracodorsal artery perforator (TDAP) flap and muscle-sparing latissimus dorsi (MSLD) flap have been frequently used for axillary coverage after hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) excision. However, none showed superiority to others. This study compared both flaps to define the ideal option, highlighting flap outcomes and functional and aesthetic results.
