Comparison of Lymphatic Drainage of the Lower Limbs After Soft Tissue Reconstruction by Microvascular Muscle Flap Versus Fasciocutaneous Flaps.

Introduction: Complex traumatic injuries of the lower limb are increasingly being salvaged. The common long-term morbidity includes secondary lymphedema. The role of microvascular flaps is often discussed for lymph flow restoration.

Abdominal Wall Reconstruction in Adults With Exstrophy of the Bladder.

Introduction: Abdominal wall reconstruction in an adult patient with exstrophy bladder is challenging. A variety of local and regional flaps are described. We describe our experience with a 3-layer technique with the differential reconstruction of the fascial and cutaneous layer.

Simultaneous Bilateral Reconstruction of the Axilla with Posterior Arm Flap in Recurrent Hidradenitis Suppurativa.

 Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease, with the axilla being the most commonly affected site. Radical excision of the involved tissue is a definitive treatment. There are numerous techniques described for the reconstruction of the axilla.

Pedicled thoracodorsal artery perforator flap in the soft-tissue reconstruction of an acute traumatic cubital fossa defect.

Introduction: Complex cubital fossa injuries with bony and vascular injuries are not an uncommon clinical presentation after trauma to the elbow. The revascularization of the upper limb by brachial artery repair with the venous graft is paramount, followed by immediate cover with a sturdy flap to salvage the limb. The use of local muscle and fasciocutaneous flaps is limited in the setting of vascular injury.
