Accuracy of Mirror Image Mapping of Lymphatic Tract for High-stage and Reoperative Lymphaticovenular Anastomosis: Intraoperative Analysis and Early Clinical Outcome.

Background: Indocyanine green lymphography (ICGL) generally has a nonlinear pattern in advanced-stage lymphedema. Despite the lack of a linear pattern ICGL, lymphatic vessels have been discovered in several studies. The purpose of this work was to establish lymphatic mapping utilizing information from the contralateral limb and to illustrate the symmetry of lymphatic systems.

Radiological landmark of syndesmotic ligament complex by magnetic resonance imaging correlate with fibula free flap harvesting procedure.

Preservation of syndesmotic ligaments is crucial for preventing adverse sequelae at the donor site following free fibula osteocutaneous flap harvesting. This study sought to determine the relationship between distal tibiofibular ligaments and the fibular segment to identify radiological landmarks that facilitate safe and precise flap. The distances between the distal tibiofibular ligaments (anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament [AITFL], posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament [PITFL]) and the fibular segment, as well as the lower border of the interosseous membrane, were measured on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of 296 patients without any perceivable ankle abnormalities.

How Is a Cutting Guide With Additional Anatomical References Better in Fibular-Free Flap Mandibular Reconstruction? A Technical Strategy.

Background: Computer-assisted surgery is used to design and manufacture cutting guides in mandibular reconstructions with fibula-free flaps. To improve the outcomes of the procedure, the aim of this research was to investigate and compare the accuracy of mandibular reconstruction following the use of 2 versus 3 anatomical reference cutting guides.

Methods: Eighteen sets of prototype bone models retrieved from an ameloblastoma patient were used for mock operations.

The Versatility of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk Score in Determination of Popliteal Artery Branches Patency in Computed Tomography Angiography.

Unlabelled: The atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk score is used to estimate coronary artery disease and stroke risk. Atherosclerosis affects arteries throughout the body, including the legs, causing peripheral arterial disease. Atherosclerosis causes luminal stenosis in popliteal artery branches, which affects operative decisions such as intravascular surgery, and lower limb reconstruction.

A Successful Outcome after Lymphaticovenular Anastomosis Using a Contralateral Augmented Reality Mapping Technique in a Lymphedema Patient Secondary to a Infection.

We report a case of extremity lymphedema after a infection in a 43-year-old man with anti-interferon-γ autoantibody syndrome. Lymphaticovenular anastomosis was performed using the contralateral healthy or less severe limb as a mirror image to map the lymph vessels in the edematous limb. A satisfying outcome was provided after the surgery.

The Precision of Different Types of Plates Fabricated With a Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing System in Mandibular Reconstruction With Fibular-Free Flaps.

Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) has been introduced to mandible reconstruction with fibular-free flap in cutting guide placement. When CAS cooperates with different plate fixations, the results show various degrees of errors by which this study aimed to evaluate. Mock surgeries were conducted in 3D-printed mandibles with 2 types of defects, limited or extensive, reconstructed from 2 ameloblastoma patients.
