We report a case of full abdominal wall reconstruction after resection of a dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. The treatment comprised wide resection with a 5 cm peripheral margin and deep resection to a disease-free anatomical structure. The reconstruction was done in two-stages with a free latissimus dorsi flap.

Non-healing soft tissue defects pose challenges to treating physicians. Microsurgical reconstruction is a treatment option for achieving wound closure and limb salvage. These free tissue transfers are often challenging due to associated risk factors.

Introduction: Extensive scalp defects present a significant reconstructive challenge due to the complex needs of patients that are often beyond the scope of conventional therapies, which makes free flaps the most reliable solution. Despite the variety of free flaps available for such cases, there is a lack of clear criteria for selecting the most suitable option. The primary objective of this study was to provide a simplified guide for the selection of donor sites for free flaps for achieving optimal reconstruction outcomes.

Background And Objectives: Sensibility of the breast area is a key factor in quality-of-life evaluation after breast reconstruction (BR). Breast sensation can be assessed using numerous tools that are already largely described in the literature, including the Semmes Weinstein filaments which remain the most frequently used. Although different reconstruction techniques are available, post-BR sensitivity is rarely described.

Aims: The free latissimus dorsi muscle (LDM) flap represents a workhorse procedure in the field of trauma and plastic surgery. However, only a small number of studies have examined this large group of patients with regard to the morbidity of flap harvest. The aim of this prospective study was therefore to objectively investigate the morbidity of a free LDM flap.

Introduction: Thoracodorsal artery perforator (TDAP) flap has been used for more than 10 years in the immediate partial breast reconstruction (IPBR) of breast cancer, allowing many patients to maximize reserved autologous breast tissue who do not have indications for breast-conserving surgery (BCS). No large sample size survival data for this operation have been reported worldwide.
Methods: There are 212 primary breast cancer patients who were prepared to receive BCS with IPBR of pedicled TDAP flaps in our institution from June 2013 to December 2017.
