Article Synopsis
- Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, leading many to seek breast reconstruction using techniques like the latissimus dorsi (LD) flap, especially in cases with damaged tissues.
- This study explores how indocyanine green (ICG) is used during surgery to monitor blood supply and prevent complications related to tissue healing in patients undergoing LD flap reconstruction.
- Results showed that ICG helped identify areas with poor blood flow, allowing for adjustments during surgery, and all patients had successful healing outcomes with no complications or infections.
Article Synopsis
- Tranexamic acid is commonly used in plastic surgery, but its effectiveness has not been clearly established.
- A meta-analysis included 11 studies with 960 patients, finding that both systematic and topical administration of tranexamic acid significantly reduced blood loss during aesthetic procedures.
- The study concludes that while tranexamic acid is effective in decreasing blood loss, further high-quality randomized controlled trials are necessary to better understand its benefits and risks in aesthetic surgery.
Alopecia constitutes one of the most common dermatological disorders, and its steadily increasing prevalence is a cause for concern. Alopecia can be divided into two main categories, cicatricial/scarring and non-cicatricial/non-scarring, depending on the causes of hair loss and its patterns. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between anthropometric and nutritional laboratory parameters in Caucasian adult women and men with non-cicatricial alopecia.

Despite extensive literature being available on these procedures, few authors have discussed the role of preoperative chest wall analysis in relation to postoperative outcomes. To date, no comprehensive classification of chest shape has been introduced in the literature.

- The study investigates how erector spinae plane block (ESPB) affects inflammatory markers and recovery in patients undergoing lumbar decompression, comparing it to a sham block.
- It involved 60 patients split into two groups, measuring outcomes like neutrophile-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), pain scores, and opioid use at 12 and 24 hours post-surgery.
- Results showed that ESPB significantly lowered NLR and PLR, reduced pain, decreased opioid consumption, and improved functional recovery compared to the sham block.
