[Vascularized composite allografts in France: An update].

Vascularized composite allografts (VCA) encompass the face, upper limb, trachea, penis, abdominal wall, and, more recently, uterus transplants. They offer unique reconstructive possibilities to overcome the limitations of traditional reconstructive techniques. Unlike solid organ transplants (heart, liver, kidney, lung, etc.

Update/Refinement of Targeted Muscle Reinnervation Indication: A Scoping Review of Applications for Non-Amputees.

Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) was originally developed to enhance prosthetic control in amputees. However, it has also serendipitously demonstrated benefits in reducing phantom pain and neuromas. As a result, it has emerged as a secondary treatment for chronic neuromas in amputees and holds promise for managing neuropathic pain in non-amputee patients, particularly those with neuromas.

Lip lift with advancement flap as nasal columella reconstruction.

Basocellular carcinomas are characterized by their non-deep spread neoplastic nature. Although treatment typically proceeds without complication, excision in critical facial regions can lead to aesthetically undesirable defects. Furthermore, elderly patients often express aesthetic concerns, particularly regarding the thinning of the upper lip over time.

Hand and wrist complete degloving: A case report and litterature review.

Introduction: Complete hand degloving injuries are traumatic avulsion injuries causing the skin to pull away from the underlying tissues and are most often caused by industrial machinery. We present the case of a degloving trauma of the whole fingers, hand, and wrist resulting in a "watch hand" by analogy with the "ring finger" and discuss alternatives and recommendations from the rare cases described of similar traumas.

Case Presentation: A 33-year-old manual worker, a non-smoker with no significant medical or surgical comorbidities, was admitted for a complete skin avulsion of the left hand and wrist following a work-related accident with a trommel-type industrial roller.

Posterior arm perforator flap for coverage of the scapular area.

We report on using a pedicled posterior brachial perforator flap to cover a defect of the infraspinous fossa. The first description of the posterior brachial flap came from Masquelet in 1985, and there are very few reports of this flap in the literature, mainly in its pedicled form limited to axillary covers. Scapular soft tissue defect with bone exposure can be covered by several techniques.
