Background: Trunk reconstruction following sarcoma excision involves significant defects. Pedicled and free latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap (LDMF) reconstruction is commonly employed for thoracic defects; however, skin paddle design is limited to 10-12 cm to achieve primary donor closure. Paucity of data exists regarding the utility of V-Y advancement of LDMF, previously described for moderately sized thoracic defects.

Scalp reconstruction, particularly with complex defects and infection risks, often favors microvascular free flaps. However, this method can result in unavoidable alopecia and undesirable aesthetics. This report describes a novel case where hair transplantation via follicular unit extraction (FUE) was applied to a free myocutaneous flap.

Background: Reconstruction of head and neck defects following tumor excision is one of the most challenging surgeries due to multiple reasons, such as associated cosmetic and functional impairments. The three-dimensional aspect of the defect makes it more difficult. Although in modern settings, microvascular surgery is preferred in many conditions, it requires the presence of resources and expertise.

The hindfoot is an uncommon site for malignant tumours. While limb salvage procedures are now more common for treating bone sarcoma, there is limited information available on hindfoot reconstruction alternatives because of its low incidence and its challenging outcomes. We present a case report of a man in his late 60s with synovial sarcoma affecting the right heel (calcaneus and soft tissue).

Background: The vascularized free fibular flap is increasingly recognized as the standard technique for the repair of complex soft tissue and hard tissue defects in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Conventionally, the vascular supply to the skin island is derived from the distal perforators of the peroneal artery. However, complications may arise if these distal perforators are either absent or damaged during surgical procedures, highlighting the necessity to employ the proximal peroneal perforators as an alternative.
