Graftless Syndactyly Release.

Syndactyly release aims to address skin deficits by resurfacing web spaces and sides of digits to allow independent digital motion while minimizing the risk of web creep and scar contractures. Conventional methods include the use of a dorsal and interdigitating flaps with full-thickness skin grafts. More recently, there have been several descriptions of "graftless" syndactyly release without skin grafts, thus avoiding a further (usually distant) donor site.

Outcomes in facial transplantation - a systematic review.

The purpose of this paper was to analyse the outcomes in facial transplantation (FT) and determine the risks and benefits of FT based on short- and long-term outcomes.
