Free Fibular Osteocutaneous Flap Combined With Simultaneous Tendon Reconstruction for Midfoot Restoration After Myoepithelial Carcinoma Resection.

Myoepithelial carcinomas of soft tissue are rare, and most are malignant. The optimal treatment is surgical excision. The arches of the foot are a composite structure responsible for weight bearing and pressure distribution, so it is a vast challenge in reconstruction.

Tracheal Replacement Techniques and Associated Mortality: A Systematic Review.

Objective: Tracheal replacement is a crucial operation to enhance the quality of life for patients with extensive tracheal lesions. The most suitable surgical techniques for different clinical conditions remain a topic of debate. Through a reviewing of the relevant literature, this study investigated the association between surgical techniques and mortality rate.

Free extended anterolateral thigh myocutaneous flap versus combined pedicled pectoralis major-latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flaps in deep and extensive sternal wound reconstruction.

Background: The combined pedicled pectoralis major-latissimus dorsi (PM-LD) and free extended anterolateral thigh (ALT) myocutaneous flaps provide well-vascularized tissues for extensive sternal wound reconstruction. However, the outcomes and postoperative complications between the two surgical techniques are different. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of these two reconstructive options.
