The formation of hypergranulation tissue is an aberrant process that interferes with normal wound healing. Excessive granulation tissue results in the persistence of open wounds. It is resistant to currently available treatment modalities. We report a case series of patients with hypergranulation tissue on the scalp who were successfully treated with a 595 nm pulsed dye laser and hydrocolloid dressing.

Prosthetically Guided Reconstruction of Maxilla with Free Fibular Flap as a Secondary Reconstruction in Maxillary Defects Caused by Mucormycosis.
J Maxillofac Oral Surg
December 2024
Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Government Dental College Ahmedabad, Ahmedabad, India.
Article Synopsis
- Rhinocerebral mucormycosis (RCM) can lead to severe facial deformities, and the proposed technique aims to use existing dentures as templates for reconstructive surgery and temporary prosthetics.
- A study conducted with 30 patients undergoing microvascular fibular flap reconstruction showed successful results, with only one flap failure that was later salvaged successfully.
- The method offers a promising option for both cosmetic and functional restoration in young, healthy patients, enhancing both hard and soft tissue reconstruction along with dental restoration.
Topical steroid use for suppression of hypergranulation in burns: Trends across the Atlantic.

Department of Burn Surgery, Sumner Redstone Burn Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.
Article Synopsis
- Hypergranulated wounds from thermal injuries pose a serious challenge for burn patients, and there's currently no standard treatment for this issue.
- A survey of members from the European and American Burn Associations revealed that a significantly higher percentage of European professionals (78.9%) use topical corticosteroids compared to North American professionals (33.3%) for treating hypergranulation tissue after burns.
- European respondents also view topical corticosteroids as safer (100% vs. 74.4%) and more effective (98.6% vs. 66.7%) than their North American counterparts, despite similar rates of reported side effects.
A comparative analysis of peritoneal flap and intestinal vaginoplasty for management of vaginal stenosis.

Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center, Baltimore, MD, USA. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- This study analyzes the outcomes of two surgical techniques - peritoneal flap vaginoplasty (PFV) and intestinal segment vaginoplasty (ISV) - in transgender or non-binary patients who experienced failed penile inversion vaginoplasty (PIV).
- Both methods aim to restore neovaginal depth and sexual function, with 21 patients undergoing PFV and 24 patients undergoing ISV reported between December 2018 and April 2023.
- The results show that while PFV had a higher rate of long-term complications like vaginal stenosis, ISV exhibited lower complications overall, suggesting ISV may be a more favorable option for revising vaginal stenosis after failed PIV.
Gene expression profiles in COVID-19-associated tracheal stenosis indicate persistent anti-viral response and dysregulated retinol metabolism.

Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated tracheal stenosis (COATS) may occur as a result of prolonged intubation during COVID-19 infection. We aimed to investigate patterns of gene expression in the tracheal granulation tissue of patients with COATS, leverage gene expression data to identify dysregulated cellular pathways and processes, and discuss potential therapeutic options based on the identified gene expression profiles.
Methods: Adult patients (age ≥ 18 years) presenting to clinics for management of severe, recalcitrant COATS were included in this study.

Complications of transcutaneous osseointegrated prosthetic systems (TOPS) focus on the metal-cutaneous interface at the stoma. Besides pain due to scare tissue as well as undefined neuropathic disorders, there is high evidence that the stoma presents the main risk causing hypergranulation and ascending infection. To restore the cutaneous barrier function in this functional area, soft-tissue on- or in-growth providing a vital and mechanically stable bio-artificial conjunction is considered a promising approach.
