EBV-Positive Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma in Association with Polyurethane Textured Breast Implants: Case Report and Literature Overview.

Objective: Lymphomas associated with breast implants are mostly of the T-cell type which typically present as a late-onset seroma or palpable mass adjacent to the implant. Primary lymphomas of the breast, in the absence of breast implants, are mostly of the B-cell type. However, we present a case of an Epstein-Barr virus-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in a patient with polyurethane textured implants.

Helpful hints in deciding what and when to operate after enzymatic debridement.

Introduction: In recent years, it has become clear that the burn eschar in deep burns can be selectively removed using the enzymatically debriding agent NexoBrid® (EDNX). In deep partial-thickness burns, such selective debridement preserves all non-injured dermis, which is sometimes sufficient for spontaneous re-epithelization. Nevertheless, it can be extremely challenging to determine exactly what and when to operate after an EDNX procedure.

Male-to-female gender affirmation surgery: breast reconstruction with Ergonomix round prostheses.

People with gender dysphoria are becoming more prevalent and more universally accepted. Social, hormonal, and surgical gender transition are able to substantially improve their quality of life. Various gender affirmation surgery (GAS) options are available to address gender dysphoria in the male-to-female (MtF) population, including facial and chest feminization, body contouring,  and genital surgery.

Injuries associated with electronic nicotine delivery systems: A systematic review.

Background: Since its introduction on the market in 2007, the number of reports on injuries caused by the overheating, ignition, or explosion of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDSs) has increased significantly. These injuries appear to have different causes, the most important one being lithium-ion battery overheating to the point of ignition or explosion.

Methods: A literature search for all relevant studies concerning ENDS-related traumatic injuries of all kinds was conducted, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses protocol.

Enzymatic debridement as an effective treatment for combined flame and chemical burns caused by e-cigarettes.

Since its introduction on the market in 2007, the number of reports on injuries caused by the ignition or explosion of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) has increased significantly. Two male patients have been treated at our burn center, the for ENDS-related injuries. Their batteries came into contact with metal objects stored in their pants pockets, resulting in a short circuit and finally ignition.

Free Bipedicled Radial Forearm and Posterior Interosseous Artery Perforator Flap Phalloplasty.

Introduction: The free radial forearm (FRFA) flap is universally still considered as the gold standard technique in penile reconstruction. Typically, a considerably large flap is required, often involving almost the entire circumference of the forearm. Partial necrosis may occur at the distal-most (dorsoradial) part of the flap as a result of insufficient perfusion.

Free flaps for lower limb soft tissue reconstruction in children: Systematic review.

Background: Since the first reports on microsurgery in children, there has been an evolution in the reconstruction of soft tissue defects as evidenced by a shift to free flaps as the first-line treatment.

Methods: The primary objective of this systematic review was to compare the complication rate of free perforator/fasciocutaneous flaps with free muscular/myocutaneous flaps in pediatric lower limb soft tissue reconstructions. The secondary objective was to evaluate the frequency and severity of complications for both reconstructive options.

Creation of Clitoral Hood and Labia Minora in Penile Inversion Vaginoplasty in Circumcised and Uncircumcised Transwomen.

Gender dysphoria, the incongruence between anatomical sex and gender identity, is estimated to affect 1 percent of the population. Creation of a feminine vulva with labia minora remains a technical challenge for surgeons, especially in circumcised patients. The authors present the technique developed by the senior author (S.

A New Technique for Coronaplasty in Penile Reconstruction.

Background: The coronaplasty is an important step of the phalloplasty procedure as it creates a prominent coronal ridge and a constricted coronal sulcus, resulting in the transformation of a regular skin flap into a flap resembling a circumcised penis.

Aim: The aim of this article is to describe our new coronaplasty technique that exploits opposing contracting forces of 2 different skin grafts to hold the shape of a thick, distally based skin flap, resulting in a natural looking neo-phallus.

Methods: A distally based flap is raised at the junction of the middle and distal thirds of the neo-phallus.
