To obtain suitable deglutoria function and less morbidity after hypopharyngeal surgery, antebrachial free flaps is a very useful option. A posible complication is oral feeding impossibility due to neopharyngeal stenosis. Tumor recurrence must be excluded. We described two cases of hypopharyngeal stenosis after antebrachial free flap reconstruction, proposing surgical reanastomosis with fibrous ring resection and salivary by-pass stent.

The curative management of oral squamous cell carcinoma can be responsible for swallowing and/or speech impairments. In this study, we analyzed the functional outcomes in patients who underwent an oncological resection and a primary reconstruction of the tongue and/or of the floor of the mouth (TFM). We also investigated the predictive factors for poor functional outcomes.

Aims: The aims of this article are to provide an overview of the technique of phalloplasty by radial forearm free flap in the context of female-to-male gender reassignment surgery, with a specific focus on surgical technical details and the prevention of postoperative complications.
Methods: In the light of our 30 years of experience in caring for female-to-male transgender individuals and conducting a critical review of the literature, we exhaustively present our technique of radial forearm free flap phalloplasty in female-to-male gender reassignment surgery.
Results: The technique of radial forearm free flap phalloplasty, utilizing a one-stage approach for neourethral and neophallus construction based on the "tube within a tube" principle, not only achieves an aesthetically pleasing appearance of the neophallus resembling a normal penis with tactile and erogenous sensitivities but also yields a functional neourethra and satisfactory penile rigidity using implants for standing voiding and sexual intercourse.

Unlabelled: It is common practice to assess the distance from nerves to anatomical structures in centimeters, but patients have various body compositions and anatomical variations are common. The purpose of this study was therefore to assess the relative distance from cutaneous nerves around the elbow to surrounding anatomical landmarks by providing a stacked image that displays the average position of cutaneous nerves around the elbow. The aim was to research possibilities for adjusting common skin incisions in the anterior elbow so that cutaneous nerve injury may be avoided.

Purpose: To compare the clinical value between locating radial nerve (RN) guided by Color Doppler ultrasonography and posterior antebrachial cutaneous nerve (PACN) in the posterior humeral approach.
Methods: The five fresh adult cadavers (ten upper arms) were selected to compare the two methods of locating the RN in the posterior humeral approach (guided by ultrasound and PACN) by measuring the operation time, the length of incision, and the area of subcutaneous free. And the comparison between the two groups was statistically analyzed by paired t-test.

Article Synopsis
- * Eight shape-modified flaps were used in surgeries between 2014 and 2018, and outcomes were measured in terms of surgical technique, scar quality, and function using established scoring systems.
- * Follow-up after an average of 39 months showed no serious complications, indicating the technique's reliability and acceptable functional and aesthetic results, suggesting it should be more widely adopted among hand surgeons.
