Orbital Adherence Syndrome following the Use of Titanium Precontoured Orbital Mesh for the Reconstruction of Posttraumatic Orbital Floor Defects.

Orbital blowout fractures are a common occurrence following orbital trauma. Depending on the size of the defect and the contents that have herniated or incarcerated, possible sequelae include enophthalmos, diplopia, dystopia, and entrapment. Surgical intervention aims to prevent or alleviate this through the use of a bone graft or an alloplastic implant to reconstitute the continuity of the orbit.

An improved perforator-based island flap: the heart balloon flap.

Background: Reconstructive surgery has entered a "perforator flap era" with more surgeons performing successful perforator flap procedures. The perforator-based island flap is an extension of this perforator concept and one of the most successful. In perforator-rich or -reliable areas, this allows for primary closure of the donor site and the construction of highly customized flaps with little tissue waste.

Perineal perforator-based island flaps: the next frontier in perineal reconstruction.

Background: Perineal reconstruction is a challenging prospect. Conventional flap reconstruction often involves the sacrifice of a source artery and muscle, resulting in significant donor morbidity. Perforator flaps sought to overcome this but required tedious dissection.
