Objective: To evaluate the clinical application of perforator flap in extended radical vulvectomy of vulvar carcinoma.
Methods: Retrospectively, twelve cases of vulva carcinoma were treated by radical extensive excision, and the defects were repaired with perforator flap.
Results: All the flaps were survived and healed with first intention except one infection. The wound infection patient was treated with change of the dressing and antibiotics. The reconstructed vulvae were plump and elastic. It appeared like the normal vulvae and there was no contraction of the vagina.
Conclusions: Vulvar reconstruction with the perforator flap after the radical vulvectomy could make the patients recover easily, which produces almost normal appearance and function of the vulvae, reduces the time of wound healing, the patient could get the next therapy more quickly and the quality of life improving. It has wide clinical application value.

Removal of the rib and adjacent cartilage is a common step for exposure of the recipient chest vessels in free-flap breast reconstructions. However, this adds both short- and long-term morbidity to the procedure. We describe our experience in avoiding rib removal in microvascular breast reconstruction.

Donor site morbidity remains a significant concern in free flap microsurgery, with implications that extend beyond immediate postoperative outcomes to affect patients' long-term quality of life. This review explores the multi-faceted impact of donor site morbidity on physical, psychological, social, and occupational well-being, synthesizing findings from the existing literature. Particular attention is given to the functional limitations, sensory deficits, aesthetic outcomes, and chronic pain associated with commonly utilized free flaps.

Background: Soft tissue defects on the palm side of the thumb can be effectively covered by using the radial midpalmar (RMP) flap, which is usually harvested as a pedicled flap. However, previous anatomical studies on this flap are limited. We analyzed multidetector-row computed tomography angiograms of the radial midpalm of hands to more precisely characterize the 3-dimensional anatomical structure of the perforators in living patients.

Background: Breast conserving surgery (BCS) with partial breast reconstruction (PBR) results in less morbidity, better cosmetic outcomes, and improved patient satisfaction compared to mastectomy. Perforator flap reconstruction can attenuate defects prone to breast deformity after BCS. Usually, postoperative drains and inpatient admission are part of this treatment.
