Clinical Outcomes in Ring Avulsion Fingers and Systematic Review of the Literature.

Ring avulsions continue to be a challenge in reconstructive surgery. We conducted a retrospective study and reviewed all Urbaniak-Kay type IV degloving injuries replanted at our institution between 2011 and 2018. A systematic review of the literature was also conducted to assess the survival rates, functional, and sensibility outcomes.

Outcomes of DIEP Flap and Fluorescent Angiography: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

Background: Breast reconstruction with the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap can be associated with complications such as fat necrosis. The authors' objective was to assess the safety and efficacy of fluorescent angiography with indocyanine green to reduce fat necrosis.

Methods: The authors designed a parallel, randomized, controlled clinical trial for unilateral breast reconstruction.
