The internal pudendal artery turnover (IPAT) flap: A new, simple and reliable technique for perineal reconstruction.

Perineal defects can be a reconstructive challenge following abdomino-perineal excision of the rectum, pelvic exenteration or the excision of severe pilonidal disease. These defects often involve large perineal cavities and pelvic dead space with often poorly mobile soft tissues due to neoadjuvant chemoradiation. Because of the inherent challenges of wound healing in the perineal region, well vascularised and robust reconstruction is mandated.

"Reply - 313 Dermatome-Induced Lacerations: Incidence, Management, and Preventative Measures. April 2018, Volume 39, Issue Suppl 1, Page S126.".

We would like to suggest the use of a simple and relevant mnemonic ("STSG") for the safe use of powered dermatomes to harvest split thickness skin grafts. Safety checklists have been shown to be effective tools for improving patient safety in various clinical settings by improving compliance with good practice and reducing the incidence of adverse events.

What Happened after the Poly Implant Prothèse Recall? A Prospective Cohort Study of 808 Implants into the Predictive Value of Implant Rupture on Postexchange Complications.

Background: Problems with a variety of breast implants have emerged with consequences for patients' health and safety. The authors' goal was to follow up on their Poly Implant Prothèse patients after their implant exchange.

Methods: This single-center, single-surgeon, prospective cohort study lasted from 2012 until 2017.
