Evaluation of the mobility of the shoulder and quality of life after perforator flaps for recalcitrant axillary hidradenitis.

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa is a very debilitating disease, treated by antibiotics and excision. The reconstruction is usually done by secondary wound healing and/or split-thichness skin graft. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reconstruction of the axilla with local perforator flaps as a single stage surgical treatment.

Paradoxical Adipose Hypertrophy (PAH) After Cryolipolysis.

Background: Cryolipolysis is a minimally invasive technique used to decrease local adipose tissue by thermal cooling. Paradoxical adipose hypertrophy (PAH) is a rare complication of cryolipolysis with important aesthetic consequences.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to describe four cases of PAH after a cryolipolysis treatment.

Surgical treatment of trans-sphincteric anal fistulas with the Fat GRAFT technique: a minimally invasive procedure.

Aim: Anal fistulas are common pathologies with a significant social impact; however, their treatment is often complex and the recurrence rate can be significant. Some surgical treatments for fistula are also associated with the risk of sphincter injury. In this technical note, we aim to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of the Fat GRAFT technique (Fat Grafting in Anal Fistula Treatment) in the treatment of recurrent anal fistulas.

A PDGFRα-Mediated Switch toward CD9 Adipocyte Progenitors Controls Obesity-Induced Adipose Tissue Fibrosis.

Obesity-induced white adipose tissue (WAT) fibrosis is believed to accelerate WAT dysfunction. However, the cellular origin of WAT fibrosis remains unclear. Here, we show that adipocyte platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α-positive (PDGFRα) progenitors adopt a fibrogenic phenotype in obese mice prone to visceral WAT fibrosis.
