Article Synopsis
- Patients may need dermatologic surgeries during pregnancy or breastfeeding, but there are often no established guidelines or approved drugs for these situations.
- The article highlights common skin conditions treated surgically during these periods and outlines the specific precautions and risks involved.
- While surgery can be done safely at any stage, the second trimester and right after delivery are the best times; immediate intervention is crucial for serious conditions like melanoma without causing delay for non-surgical treatments.
Combination of secondary intention healing and primary closure to reconstruct large facial defects.

Article Synopsis
- Secondary intention healing has been a trusted method for wound closure for over 200 years, making it the simplest option in plastic surgery.
- Primary wound closure is the next easiest method, and both techniques are often used together in specific surgeries, like reconstructing donor sites from forehead flaps.
- This minireview argues that combining these techniques is a viable alternative to traditional flaps when reconstructing various aesthetic areas of the face, highlighting their pros and cons with clinical examples.
[Nuclear medicine procedure guideline for sentinel lymph node localization].
Nuklearmedizin
August 2024
The authors present a procedure guideline for scintigraphic detection of sentinel lymph nodes in malignant melanoma, in breast cancer, in penile and vulva tumors, in head and neck cancer, and in prostate carcinoma. Important goals of sentinel lymph node scintigraphy comprise reduction of the extent of surgery, lower postoperative morbidity and optimization of histopathological examination focussing on relevant lymph nodes. Sentinel lymph node scintigraphy itself does not diagnose tumorous lymph node involvement and is not indicated when lymph node or distant metastases have been definitely diagnosed before sentinel lymph node scintigraphy.
