Reverse dorsoradial metacarpal artery flap for reconstruction of large finger skin defect: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Plastic reconstructive surgery for defects of hand still pose a challenge to plastic surgeons. The skin envelope of the hand is a complex structure that not only covers the underlying tissues but also includes particular functional and sensory components. The main principle of therapy is to provide adequate and long-lasting coverage to minimize surgery scars.

Wisepatern mastopexy for natural breast ptosis symmetrization after giant lipoma excision: Case report.

Introduction And Importance: Giant breast lipoma is an uncommon benign tumor that develops in the breast parenchyma. Wisepatern technique involves lifting the skin in both vertical and horizontal directions to raise and reshape the breasts into a less ptotic shape.

Case Presentation: A 40-year-old woman came to the Surgical Oncology Polyclinic with the breast size is asymmetric, the right is 4× larger than the left.

Bilobed flap technique as alternative for patient with eccrine spiradenoma: A rare case report.

Introduction And Importance Of Case: Eccrine spiradenoma (ES) is a rare benign skin adnexal tumor. ES resembles many other dermal lesions and is commonly found at the face. Hence, proper diagnosis and treatment with aesthetic considerations are needed.

Breast Conserving Surgery is Better for Sexual Satisfaction Compared to a Modified Radical Mastectomy for Breast Cancer.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the difference between the level of sexual satisfaction in breast cancer patients with Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM) and Breast Conserving Surgery (BCS).

Methods: This study used a cross-sectional study using a validated Female Sexual Function Index questionnaire. This study was conducted from 2020 until 2021.

Delayed primary intention with full-thickness skin graft in distal interphalangeal injury: A rare case report.

Introduction And Importance: The fingertip injury is the most common in the hand area. In this regard, skin grafting can be considered to preserve sensation, due to its functional importance, particularly for distal tip injuries. A full-thickness skin graft (FTSG) results in excellent function after engraftment and should be considered in reconstructing functionally and aesthetically important areas.

Ethanol ablation for management of large cyst hygroma colli in adult: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Cystic hygroma in adult is a rare condition that is typically treated with surgery, but in some cases, the cyst may be difficult to completely remove, leading to the potential of recurrence.

Case Presentation: In this case report, we describe the use of ethanol ablation as an alternative treatment for a rapidly growing cystic hygroma in an adult patient. The patient had a lump on her neck for 2 years that had been slowly growing.

Radiofrequency ablation for benign thyroid nodule treatment: New solution in our center.

Introduction And Importance: Thyroid nodules are one of the most common thyroid disorders and are estimated at 4-7 % in the general population. Although it is estimated that 95 % of thyroid nodules are benign and only 4.0-6.

Radiofrequency ablation for management of thyroid nodules in quarantine zone of COVID-19 pandemic setting in Indonesia.

Surgery using minimally invasive procedures has been continuously developing in the medical field including in the treatment and resection of thyroid tumors. In addition to open thyroid surgery, several types of procedures are well developed and adopted in our center including the endoscopic thyroid and radiofrequency ablation (RFA). The COVID-19 pandemic has substantially changed the healthcare system in Indonesia.

An isolated brachiocephalic artery rupture on penetrating trauma in a 9-year-Old child - A case report.

Introduction And Importance: A stab or penetrating wound is one of the etiologies of chest trauma. In the case of penetrating chest trauma, assessment of probable major vascular injuries must be done. Thoracic, vascular injuries, in particular brachiocephalic rupture, require the surgeon to make swift decisions for repair as the wrong approach or incision could quickly lead to mortality.

Video-Assisted Breast Surgery (VABS) and Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy (VABB) for Fibroadenoma Mammae on Patients' Satisfaction: A Preliminary Study.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the patients' satisfaction level after fibroadenoma surgery with Video-Assisted Breast Surgery (VABS) and Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy (VABB) techniques.

Methods: Patients who underwent VABS or VABB for a diagnosis of fibroadenoma mammae at the Oncology Clinic in Solo, Indonesia were included in this study. Clinical and demographic data were obtained from medical records.

Axial flap for giant basal cell carcinoma of the anterior chest wall: Case report.

Introduction And Importance: Anterior chest wall Giant Basal Cell Carcinoma (GBCC) is rare amongst GBCC cases and results in a large defect that is challenging to resect and reconstruct. It requires multidisciplinary approach to prevent recurrence.

Case Presentation: A 72-year-old man with giant basal cell carcinoma at the anterior chest wall measuring 10 × 6 cm.

Chemotherapy Negates the Effect of SDF1 mRNA to Distant Metastasis and Poor Overall Survival in Breast Cancer Patients.

Objective: Investigate the effect of SDF1a, nuclear, and cytoplasmic CXCR4 breast cancer tissue on metastasis and overall survival in patients with complete-chemotherapy and no-chemotherapy.

Methylene Blue Absorption in Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy for Early Breast Cancer after Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy.

Introduction: Chemotherapy is claimed to cause lymphatic drainage damage because of the tumor cell's apoptosis process. This event might cause decreased marker (radioactive solution and/or blue dye) absorption on sentinel lymph nodes (SLN). In this study, the researchers used methylene blue only and wished to evaluate the methylene blue absorption of the SLNB procedure on early-stage breast-cancer patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).
