Reconstruction of the Tongue after Hemiglossectomy Using Serratus Anterior Muscle Free Flap.

Background: Serratus anterior muscle free flap is widely used in numerous indicated reconstructions. Only a few studies have dealt with the use of this flap in tongue reconstruction.

Materials And Methods: We present a case series of 7 patients with carcinoma of the tongue who underwent hemiglossectomy followed by immediate reconstruction with serratus anterior muscle free flap between January 2017 and December 2019 at the University Hospital Brno.

Surgical treatment and management of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in patients with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa - a case report.

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a rare inherited disease which is characterized by blisters on the skin and mucous membranes. Some forms of EB are associated with a risk of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) development, which, unlike in the general population, is formed at a young age. SCC is the most common cause of death in patients with a dystrophic form.

Reconstruction of Extensive Chest Wall Defects Using Light-Weight Condensed Polytetrafl uoroethylene Mesh - Case Reports.

Tumors of the chest wall require extensive surgical intervention, which includes radical resection of the tumor mass followed by reconstruction of the defect. The depth of the defects may vary from a shallow one to a deep defect with exposure of the internal organs. In reconstruction of the chest wall, it is important to ensure the stability of the chest.

RECONSTRUCTION OF DEEP HEAD BURN WITH A FREE FLAP - A CASE REPORT.

Third degree burn trauma of the head and neck requires an interdisciplinary approach. After emergency care and hemodynamic stabilization of the patient the focus lies on the reconstruction of the damaged tissue. The options of reconstruction are influenced by the general condition of the patient and by the condition of the surrounding tissues.

Fasciotomy closure using negative pressure wound therapy in lower leg compartment syndrome.

Background: Fasciotomy wounds can be a major contributor to length of stay for patients as well as a difficult reconstructive challenge.

Objectives: To evaluate lower leg fasciotomy wound closure outcomes comparing treatment with combined dressing fabric (COM) and negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in combination with elastic dynamic ligature (EDL).

Methods: Retrospective study of 63 patients who underwent lower leg fasciotomy due to injury treated from January 2008 to December 2015 at the Department of Trauma Surgery, University Hospital Brno.
