Reconstruction of Soft Tissues of the Postamputation Lower Leg Stump with a Free Anterolateral Thigh Flap for Optimal Prosthesis.

Patients without proper covering of the bone stump with soft tissues after below-knee amputation have limited opportunities for prosthesis. The resulting high degree of disability severely restricts their proper functioning in social and professional life. The commonly used significant reduction of the bone length for local coverage limits rehabilitative options to the less comprehensive prosthesis.

Evaluation of polymorphisms and expression of , and genes in vitiligo patients.

Introduction: Vitiligo is a pigmentary disorder associated with a selective loss of melanocytes in the skin, its appendages and mucous membranes.

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between the rs2476601 polymorphism of the gene, the rs2670660 and rs6502867 polymorphisms of the gene and the rs1847134 and rs1393350 polymorphisms of the gene and vitiligo. Another aim was to compare the gene expression in lesional and symmetrically non-lesional skin of vitiligo patients and healthy controls.

The use of local anaesthetics in dermatology, aesthetic medicine and plastic surgery: review of the literature.

The aim of the study is to present the latest information on local anaesthesia in plastic surgery, aesthetic medicine and dermatology based on the available literature. The aim of the work is to present a model of cooperation between an anaesthesiologist, dermatologist, and surgeon, so that the patients feel safe, and, above all, the procedure will be comfortable and painless for them. Regional blocks are an excellent tool to achieve this goal.
