[BACKGROUND] Multiple perforator deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps demonstrate superior perfusion. The selection of perforators is influenced by several factors, including the number of perforators, the running layer, the ped…

[BACKGROUND] The deep inferior epigastric perforator flap has become the workhorse of autologous breast reconstruction (ABR). In delayed-immediate ABR, a tissue expander is placed during mastectomy and reconstruction is performed later. We …

A 59-year-old man with right maxillary cancer presented with a right buccal fistula and an ectropion of the lower eyelid after multidisciplinary treatment. With no suitable vessels in the right face or neck for anastomosis, we planned recon…

[BACKGROUND] Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is a common complication. Repeated taxane-based chemotherapy has been shown to induce endothelial inflammation, leading to fluid retention. Patients with transient fluid retention only ha…

[BACKGROUND] Heparin prophylaxis for venous thromboembolism can be used in microsurgery. If vein anastomosis is performed before the artery, heparin irrigation into the artery can be performed locally without systematic effect. This study a…

[BACKGROUND] Breast reconstructions using autologous abdominal tissue result in breasts with a natural shape and consistency. One of the major complications is abdominal bulging. Because of the increased abdominal wall tension, high viscera…

[BACKGROUND] The association between successful reconstructive surgery with a free flap and hospital volume has not been well established. This study was designed to retrospectively analyze the outcome of free-flap surgery registered in a n…

[BACKGROUND] Abdominal bulging at the donor site of free abdominal flaps for breast reconstruction is a common postoperative complication. In addition to the thickness of abdominal muscles, the authors identified the rectus abdominis diasta…

[BACKGROUND] The thinned deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap branching from the main trunk to the superolateral direction may be useful because of its long vascular pedicle. DIEP flap is used as an axial-pattern adipose flap. Th…

[BACKGROUND] Although microsurgical treatment for lower extremity lymphedema (LEL) can improve lower abdominal morphology, methods to evaluate the volume change of the lower abdomen have yet to be established. This study aimed to determine …

[BACKGROUND] The physical activity (PA) of patients may change after microsurgical treatment for lower extremity lymphedema (LEL). We investigated whether PA changes perioperatively and whether it influences the treatment result. [PATIENTS…

[BACKGROUND] Seroma formation at the donor site is a common complication of breast reconstruction using free abdominal flap. In this study, we assessed the benefits of use of autologous fibrin glue (AFG) at the donor site. [METHODS] This r…

[BACKGROUND] Changes of the lymph flow from the chest wall after mastectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) or axillary lymph node dissection (Ax) has yet to be understood. This study aimed to investigate the effect of axillary surger…

Blepharoplasty for thyroid eye disease (TED) has been indicated for the purpose of improving upper and lower eyelid retraction caused by exophthalmos. Both aponeurotic blepharoptosis and aging lower eyelid are common conditions that require…

It is not always possible to detect nonpalpable small lymph nodes (LNs) surrounded by adipose tissue under the wavelength of visible light. A newly developed near-infrared camera with InGaAs element was able to capture photographs using lig…

[BACKGROUND] Patients with secondary lower extremity lymphedema often develop suprapubic lymphedema. The authors developed a novel surgical method of shaping the lower abdomen and debulking suprapubic lymphedema with simultaneous reconstruc…
