Article Synopsis
- * The surgery addressed complications from an infected iliac prosthesis and utilized extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for 8 hours to ensure the viability of the surgical flap.
- * Despite facing postoperative issues like venous stasis and intestinal ischemia, the patient achieved mobility within three months and showed stable health during a 2-year follow-up, highlighting ECMO's effectiveness in enhancing flap viability in complex surgical scenarios.
Lymphedema is a complex clinical condition that appears as a result of the failure of the lymphatic system function, and it is characterized by edema, fibrosis, and adipose deposition [...

Despite this, the practical application and integration of these technologies in dermatology and plastic surgery remain uneven. : A comprehensive 20-question survey was designed and distributed using online survey administration software (Google Forms, 2018, Google, Mountain View, CA, USA) from June 2023 to September 2023.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAdipofascial flaps have proven to be an excellent tool for multipurpose reconstruction as free or pedicled flaps. The anatomical studies in this field are now focused on improving esthetics in reconstruction while maintaining a minimal donor site morbidity. An anatomical cadaver study has been carried out to investigate the medial thigh region as a potential donor site for adipofascial flaps.

The current study represents the largest retrospective multicenter data collection on the use of free fibula flap (FFF) for extremities' orthoplastic reconstruction after trauma aiming to highlight current surgical practice and to set the basis for updating current surgical indications.
Methods: The study is designed as a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data between 2009 and 2021 from six European University hospitals.
