Objective: To investigate the closing method of wound after removal of the traditional pedicled abdominal flap.
Methods: According to the design, the pedicled abdominal flaps were cut and lifted, and then the incision were extended from both sides on base of the flap to anterior superior iliac spine, respectively. After separating on superficial fascia, two flaps were obtained. The wound of donor site was closed completely by these two pedicled flaps. Twelve patients with skin defects on hands or forearms were treated using the reformed method of traditional pedicled abdominal flap.
Results: All of the 12 reformed pedicled abdominal flaps survived, and only one had local necrosis on the distal part of the abdominal flap, about 1.5 cm x 2.0 cm.
Conclusion: This new design could provide a good method to close the abdominal wound after removal of pedicled abdominal flap.

Introduction: Vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous (VRAM) flap is the most common option for large sacral defect reconstruction but is known to have donor-site abdominal morbidity compared to deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps.
Report: Fifty-seven and 63 year-old men were admitted for large sacral soft tissue defects after tumour excisions. They both underwent an inferiorly based pedicled vertical DIEP flap passed transabdominally with successful postoperative outcomes and not any abdominal wall complication.

Introduction: Necrotising soft tissue infection (NSTI) is an exceptionally dangerous infectious disease targeting soft tissues with high mortality as well as morbidity. The aim of reconstructive surgery after initial debridement is to maintain function as well as to achieve a satisfactory cosmetic result.
Presentation Of Case: A 50-year-old male presented with necrotising soft tissue infection on the thorax and left upper arm following mastectomy for breast cancer.

Rationale: Ovarian tumor torsion is a critical gynecological emergency, predominantly affecting women of reproductive age, with benign teratomas being the most common culprits. In contrast, malignant ovarian tumors, such as mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, infrequently present with torsion due to their invasive and angiogenic characteristics. The occurrence of torsion in malignant tumors complicates diagnosis and management, particularly when associated with complications like congestion, infarction, and internal bleeding.
