Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of surgical treatment of post-burn defects of face and cranial vault.
Material And Methods: There were 65 patients with post-burn defects of face and cranial vault. Mean age of patients was 38.5 years (min 17 years, max 67 years). Soft tissue reconstruction was performed by using of local tissues, combined plasty, balloon dermotension aand free flaps on microvascular anastomoses. Osteoectomy and sequestrectomy were carried out if it was necessary. Implants were used to eliminate through skull defects.
Results: Balloon dermotension with expanders and plasty with local tissues ensure skull reconstruction in the vast majority of patients. Through bone defects required reconstruction of the cranial vault with various implants.
Conclusion: The proposed surgical approach ensures correction of severe functional and cosmetic disorders caused by post-burn skull defects, elimination of bone damage, restoration of normal skin of the face and cranial vault.

Patients seeking reconstructive facial surgery desire aesthetically pleasing outcomes with minimal visible scarring. For scalp incisions, beveled angle of 45° is typically preferred to preserve hair follicles. However, no consensus exists regarding the ideal incision angle for the brow area.

Forearm rotation is essential for daily activities and functional dexterity, involving both pronation and supination. Forearm rotation limitations can result from various pathologies, often linked to trauma, structural changes in radio-ulnar joints, and interosseous membrane alterations. Soft tissue contracture, such as post-burn scarring or specific neurological conditions, can also restrict forearm rotation.

Background: Autologous skin grafting has been the popular method for reconstructing post-burn defects. However, this technique has limitations such as high contracture rates and inadequate volume coverage. This report aims to propose the principles and advantages of utilizing microsurgically linked perforator flaps for the reconstruction of extensive burn defects and associated post-burn scar contracture in the lower and upper extremities and trunk.

Aim: This study aims to develop an experimental treatment model effective against oxidative stress in the acute period of severe burns and to analyze the mechanisms of healing large wound defects.
Methods: Five rats, including 2 females and 3 males, were used as donors to obtain adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) from the inguinal fat pad. The stem cells were labeled with green fluorescent protein.
A New Option to Preserve Esthetics in Perioral Defect Reconstruction With Normal Anatomical Structures: Bipedicled Preexpanded Forehead Flap With Random Skin Flap Extension.

Plastic surgeons charged with reconstructing extensive perioral defects face dual challenges of functional restoration and esthetic considerations. While forehead flaps are commonly used to reconstruct perioral defects, in cases involving partial upper lip defects where normal anatomical structures are preserved, traditional forehead flaps may compromise esthetics. This study aimed to address this issue by employing bipedicled preexpanded forehead flaps based on the frontal branches of the superficial temporal artery (hereafter, "STA-bfb-based preexpanded forehead flap") with random flap extensions to repair perioral defects.
