Article Synopsis
- * The majority of burns were caused by hot liquids (79%), with a mean total burn surface area of 14%, and most injuries were classified as second-degree (79%).
- * A comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to treatment and prevention is recommended, as the study found no significant risks of additional infections from concurrent SARS-CoV-2 in burn patients.
Background: Deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) represents a life-threatening complication following open-heart surgery and pectoralis major muscle flap reconstruction has led to a significant reduction in mortality and morbidity. Negative-pressure wound therapy represented a step forward in DSWI treatment, both as a single procedure or as a preparation for reconstructive surgery.In the present study, we report our 13 years' experience with sternal reconstruction in order to evaluate the impact of preoperative vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy on reconstructive outcome.

The length of the muscle belly suitable for coverage is a crucial parameter. In this study, we evaluated the capability of 3D MRI of the lower limb to measure it preoperatively.

The feasibility and efficacy of a new 1540-nm diode laser for suction-assisted laser lipolysis were evaluated.
Methods: Two hundred-thirty patients underwent a new 1540-nm diode laser lipolysis.
