BMI and Revision Surgery for Abdominoplasties: Complication Definitions Revisited Using the Clavien-Dindo Classification.

Unlabelled: After body contouring surgery of the lower trunk (CSLT), the definition, rate (4%-70%), and documentation of complications vary.

Objectives: We analyzed the effect of risk factors on the outcome based on the Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC) after CSLT surgery and polled postoperative satisfaction among patients.

Methods: All patients undergoing CSLT from 2001 to 2016 were included and were classified according to the CDC for postoperative events.

Donor site morbidity after the harvest of microvascular flaps from the medial and lateral femoral condyle region: Objective, radiologic, and patient-reported outcome of a multi-center trial.

Background: With the experience-based hypothesis of low donor site morbidity (DSM) for free flaps from the distal femur, this cohort study aimed to evaluate the DSM according to objective and reproducible criteria.

Methods: One hundred and fifty-six patients who had a flap harvest from either the medial or lateral femoral condyle region between 2005 and 2017 were included. A retrospective chart review was performed for all patients.

Nerve decompression according to A.L. Dellon in Morton's neuroma - A retrospective analysis.

Background: First reported by Dellon et al. in 1992, nerve decompression by dissecting the deep transversal intermetatarsal ligament through a dorsal incision appears to be a reliable method for treating Morton's neuroma by addressing its underlying pathomechanism, since it should rather be considered as Morton's entrapment. As there are no current studies dealing with Dellon's surgical technique, we carried out a retrospective analysis with the aim of showing that nerve decompression is an effective method to treat Morton's neuroma, and one that considers its true pathology.

[Evaluation of the online-presence (homepages) of plastic-surgical departments in Germany, Austria and Switzerland].

Introduction: During the past decade, the share of households in the EU with internet access has increased from 55 % in 2007 to 85 % in 2016. During that time the internet has become the most commonly used tool for communication and information acquisition. In health-care the website of a department may be advantageous to inform patients adequately and stay in contact with them.
