Rhomboid Intercostal versus Serratus Anterior Plane Block for Analgesia After Thoracodorsal Artery Perforator Flap Following Partial Mastectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: The thoracodorsal artery perforator (TDAP) flap has been developed to improve the postoperative aesthetic and psychological states of patients who receive breast-conserving surgery (BCS); nonetheless, the TDAP flap exacerbates the pain that occurs at 2 surgical sites.

Objectives: This trial aimed to compare the efficacy of the rhomboid intercostal block (RIB) and the serratus anterior plane block (SAB) as postoperative analgesics for BCS.

Study Design: Prospective randomized controlled clinical trial.

Release of Extensive Post Traumatic Radio-Ulnar Synostosis with Vascularized Free Flap Interposition.

Unlabelled: Radioulnar synostosis is a rare complication after a forearm or elbow injury. The severity of initial trauma, associated head injury along with timing and the type of surgical treatment have been implicated in the formation of extra bone leading to synostosis. Surgical intervention is the standard treatment and is recommended after the maturation of synostotic bone.

Evaluation of versatility of use of island first dorsal metacarpal artery flap in reconstruction of dorsal hand defects.

Background: Posttraumatic dorsal hand defects with exposed tendons and/or bones represent a challenge to reconstructive surgeons. Many options are suggested ranging from local, regional, distant up to free flaps. First dorsal metacarpal artery island flap was commonly prescribed for reconstructing the thumb or first web space defects.
