Ilio-inguinal lymph node dissection (IILD) is a commonly performed surgical procedure for a number of malignant conditions involving mainly the male and female genitalia, and the skin; however the postoperative morbidity of IILD, due to high frequency of flap necrosis, wound infection and seroma formation, has always been a major concern for the surgeons. The aim of the study is to highlight a modified skin bridge technique of IILD using two parallel curvilinear incisions to minimize postoperative skin flap necrosis. This technique was successfully employed in 38 IILD during May 2012 to November 2013. None of the patient had flap necrosis. Two patients developed seroma while another two patients had superficial surgical site infection; they were managed conservatively. Modified skin bridge technique for IILD is an effective method to minimize flap necrosis without compromising the oncological safety.

Objective: Limberg flap, is a rotational rhomboid flap. A procedure done for people who have either complex or recurrent pilonidal disease. This study has been performed to determine effects of the Limberg flap for sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus, regarding the wound infection rate, seroma formation, postoperative pain relief, recurrence rates, return to work, its cosmetic final result and patients' satisfaction.

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic, inflammatory disease involving the pilosebaceous unit of apocrine gland-bearing skin. Wide surgical excision, wherein margins extend beyond active lesions, is considered curative.
Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of wide surgical excision in the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa.
Application of Reverse Sural Flaps in Pediatric Patients: A Systematic Review.
Ann Plast Surg

Division of Plastic Surgery, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, TX.
Introduction: The reverse sural flap (RSF) is a random-type, pedicled flap based on sural artery perforators indicated for traumatic lower-extremity wounds. The RSF has demonstrated comparable results to free flap placement in the adult population for reconstruction of distal third defects, but few reports describe its application and outcomes in the pediatric population.
Methods: We investigated RSF application in pediatric patients (<18 years of age) through systematic review and meta-analysis.

Department of Surgery, Montefiore Medical Center, NY, USA.
Background: Anterior component separation (ACS), or Ramirez component separation technique, is an established technique still used by surgeons to repair a ventral hernia. Compared with other ventral hernia repair techniques, recent studies about ACS show more postoperative complications like wound breakdown, wound infection, hematoma, skin necrosis, seroma, and recurrence. Our study aims to compare the ACS technique with the preservation perforator technique and verify if the perforator preservation technique can decrease postoperative complications.
