The increase of reconstructive microsurgery procedures leads to the development of various technologies. Before being validated in human clinical studies, these technologies and devices need to be validated on animal models. We present a simple, reliable and reproducible model of a cutaneous flap in pigs. This flap is pedicled on the superficial inferior epigastric pedicle (SIEP). The surgical technique is described. This flap can be buried and, if necessary, harvested on both sides. It did not alter the abdominal wall, and so it has allowed painless long-term follow-up of the animals. To our knowledge, this technique has never been reported in pigs.

Laterally Based Island Pedicle Flap with Cheek Advancement for Defects of the Nasal Ala.
J Clin Aesthet Dermatol
December 2024
Mr. Dahabreh and Drs. Hazan and Khorasani are with the Department of Dermatology, Icahn School of Medicine at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, New York.
V-to-Y advancement flap is a successful repair technique that preserves vascular and tissue integrity adopted after Mohs micrographic surgery to repair cutaneous defects on the head and neck. However, defects at the lateral distal nasal ala requires large extension beyond cosmetic margins that increase risk of skin webbing, an undesired result on a cosmetically sensitive location to the patient. In this article, we present a novel approach to modifying the procedure employing the V-to-Y advancement flap by truncated the trailing end of the island pedicle to allow for successful healing and better patient satisfaction.

Purpose: The main objective of this study was to conduct a radioanatomical study of the osteo-myo-cutaneous scapulo-dorsal pedicled flap.
Methods: A radiological study was performed to study the anatomical variations of the dorsal scapular pedicle (origin, course of the deep branch of the dorsal scapular artery (DSA) in relation to the medial border of the scapula, perforators from the superficial branch of the DSA). Perforators from the superficial branch of the DSA were also identified on anatomical subjects, and their cutaneous vascular territory was determined.
The Keystone Design Perforator Flap: A Flap to Simplify Complex Reconstructive Issues.
Indian J Plast Surg
December 2024
Department of Plastic Reconstructive Surgery, ASST Valle Camonica, Esine, Brescia, Italy.
The keystone design perforator island flap (KDPIF) was first described by Behan in 2003 as a pliable flap, suitable for all body areas thanks to its curvilinear shape, which made it apt to fit mostly all cutaneous defects. In this article, we aim to share our experience using KDPIF for the reconstruction of different defects. A retrospective analysis of patients who underwent cutaneous excision after trauma or tumor resection and reconstruction with a KDPIF at our department from 2020 to 2023 was performed.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the superficial palmar branch of the radial artery (SUPBRA) to improve techniques for reconstructing palmar skin, focusing on its anatomy and harvesting methods.
- Researchers dissected 19 male hand specimens to gather detailed anatomical data, including dimensions and positions of key structures related to SUPBRA, analyzing how best to utilize this flap in reconstruction efforts.
- Results indicated that the SUPBRA has adequate dimensions for viability in surgical applications, with specific measurements and the identification of critical vascular contributions that ensure successful use in cases of hand injury.
