The lateral brachial flap is a fascio-cutaneus flap. This flap is secured. The functional and cosmetic sequelae are limited. The authors propose in this paper its utilisation as free flap in the reconstruction of facial defects. Thanks to its low morbidity, this free flap may be used in old patients.

Effects of different approaches of infraclavicular brachial plexus block on perfusion index and tissue perfusion.

Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University Medicine Faculty, Zonguldak, Türkiye.
Background: Although both the lateral sagittal and costoclavicular approaches are applied at the cord level in the infraclavicular region, there is a major difference between the distributions of the two approaches. We aimed to investigate the effects of this different distribution on tissue perfusion and oxygenation.
Methods: Sixty patients undergoing elective elbow, forearm, wrist and hand surgery under infraclavicular brachial plexus block were included in the study.

Background: Innervation of the breast includes branches of thoracic intercostal nerves, the superficial cervical plexus, the brachial plexus, and the intercostobrachial nerve (ICBN). Commonly used blocks for breast surgery provide incomplete analgesia of the axillary region. This cadaveric study aims to identify and map the axillary sensory cutaneous nerves.

Arterial variations in the upper limb are of significant clinical importance, especially in procedures such as venepunctures, coronary artery bypass grafts, trauma reconstructive surgeries, brachial plexus nerve blocks, and breast reconstructions. This report presents previously undocumented arterial variations in the upper limbs in a 95-year-old female cadaveric donor. We observed bilateral superficial ulnar arteries originating at the cubital fossa, deviating from the previously reported origin at the proximal brachial artery.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the articular branches that supply the posterior elbow joint, aiming to enhance pain management techniques like nerve blocks and radiofrequency ablation, which have not been widely applied to the elbow yet.! -
- It involved dissecting 12 upper extremity specimens to detail the origin, course, and distribution of these branches, resulting in 3D models that map their spatial relationships to key anatomical landmarks.! -
- Findings show that various nerves, particularly the ulnar nerve and its branches, innervate different parts of the elbow joint, providing essential anatomical insights for developing more effective pain treatment protocols in future clinical applications.!

Introduction: The presence of additional cervical ribs is a rare and relatively unknown pathology. The brachial plexus is most often compressed. Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) is the one of discussed of mixed compression syndromes, due to diagnostic difficulties and the lack of evidence to resolve the effectiveness of surgical treatment over conservative treatment.
