This study aimed to describe and investigate the surgical outcome and complications of fibrin glue-assisted double bipedicle conjunctival flaps (CFs) (FADCOF), an alternative surgical technique that restores a stable ocular surface in patients with painful blinding ocular surface disease combined with a shortage of bulbar conjunctiva. Six eyes of six patients with painful blinding ocular surface disease were enrolled in this study. All patients had inadequate superior or inferior conjunctiva tissue to cover the whole corneal surface owing to previous surgeries or ocular surface diseases.

Department of Plastic Surgery, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University, School of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea.

Background: This study aimed to assess the extent of rectus muscle damage in deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap harvest and to evaluate its association with functional donor morbidity.

Methods: A prospective cohort of 76 patients who underwent DIEP flap breast reconstruction was evaluated preoperatively and followed up for 1 year. Abdominal wall strength was assessed using the upper and lower rectus abdominis manual muscle function tests.

The creation of an esthetically pleasing male chest allows the patient to live at ease in the male gender role.

The purpose of this study is to introduce a breast reduction technique designed to reduce the incidence of postoperative nipple-areola complex ischemia and necrosis following reduction mammoplasty, while at the same time allowing all the other goals of breast reduction to be realized. This is achieved through preoperative detection of perforating vessels supplying the nipple-areola complex using a hand-held Doppler. The horizontally based parenchymal pedicle is designed to include these perforators whether originating from the internal mammary artery, lateral thoracic artery or both.
