Article Synopsis
- * The Infrared Fluorescent Angiography Perfusion Evaluation Device (SPY) is a noninvasive tool used to assess microcirculation and perfusion in flaps during surgery.
- * A study involving 39 patients analyzed the relationship between fluid resuscitation during head and neck free flap surgery and patient outcomes, finding that changes in SPY scores were linked to longer hospital stays and additional medical interventions.
Background: Obesity is known to be associated with high complication rates. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of bilateral procedures on complication rates in obese patients undergoing autologous breast reconstruction with deep inferior epigastric perforator flaps.
Methods: Medical records of patients undergoing autologous breast reconstruction between January 2017 and December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on malignant cutaneous adnexal tumors (MCATs), which are difficult to diagnose, examining their clinical characteristics and treatment options in 26 patients.
- - Most patients were older adults, predominantly male, with tumors mainly located on the face, and a significant number derived from sweat glands; some had complications like perineural invasion indicating more severe disease.
- - The findings suggest that MCATs are becoming more common with age, especially in men, and emphasize that wide surgical resection is the primary treatment method.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the effects of surgeries conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on infection rates and patient demographics.
- A total of 639 patients were reviewed, with most being male (60.4%) and an average age of 43; malignancy and trauma were the leading reasons for surgery.
- Infection rates for COVID-19 were low during the study period, suggesting that surgeries can be safely performed with appropriate precautions.
