Breast cancer-related lymphedema is characterized by progressive limb enlargement and occurs in up to 30% of breast cancer patients following axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). Immediate lymphatic reconstruction (ILR) is a preventative technique used to reduce lymphedema rates by performing lymphovenous anastomoses of disrupted afferent lymphatics. This study presents a novel method of axillary reconstruction following ALND using a buried dermal flap that provides local tissue with intact subdermal lymphatics to the axillary dead space.

Background: Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) is a rare condition characterized by a progressive shrinkage and degeneration of the tissues beneath the skin, usually on one side of the face. Managing this disease presents numerous challenges due to its heterogeneity and unpredictable outcomes. The existing literature is primarily composed of case reports and series, leading to a lack of comprehensive guidelines on surgical intervention for the various manifestations of PRS.

Background: Adult-Acquired Buried Penis is a disorder associated with systemic obesity that confers increased risks of malignancy, sexual dysfunction, urinary abnormalities, and psychological distress. Surgical correction improves patient-reported functional and psychological outcomes and often requires collaboration between plastic and urologic surgeons. To improve postoperative cosmetic outcomes and decrease wound complications following adult-acquired buried penis repair, we performed an anatomic and histologic study of the superficial fascial layers providing support to the external male genitalia and describe our approach for fascial reconstruction.

Background: Mechanical forces have an important role in the initiation and progression of orthopedic surgical incisions complications. To avoid incision complications with the reduction of dermal tension, surgeons may choose a buried continuous suture technique other than the traditional interrupted vertical mattress suture. Absorbable barbed sutures are widely used in orthopedics due to their convenience and reducing wound tension.
