Harvesting DIEP or msTRAM flaps for autologous breast reconstruction may lead to complications such as hernia formation and abdominal bulging at the donor site. This consensus statement aims to identify and recommend strategies to minimize …

Breast cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed malignancy among women worldwide, with surgical intervention, ranging from breast-conserving procedures to total mastectomy, representing a cornerstone of curative treatment. In this context…

Arteriovenous (AV) loop followed by free flap reconstruction remains a challenging and high-risk intervention and is therefore reserved for a selective patient population. It is unclear to what extent factors such as defect localization, ch…

[BACKGROUND] Mechanical anastomoses of blood vessels represent a major advance in modern surgery. Highly specialized instruments ensure the precise connection of blood vessels, enabling the immediate restoration of blood flow. Ring coupler …

[BACKGROUND] Body contouring surgery after massive weight loss is associated with different risk factors. Wound healing disorders and seromas commonly occur postoperatively. Bariatric interventions lead to massive weight loss with excess sk…

[BACKGROUND] Arteriovenous (AV) loops help to overcome absent or poor-quality recipient vessels in highly complex microvascular free flap reconstruction cases. There are no studies on blood flow and perfusion patterns. The purpose of this s…

[BACKGROUND] There is still no consensus regarding the ideal zoning in abdominal-based autologous breast reconstruction using free DIEP or ms-TRAM flaps. In particular, the perfusion pattern of the flap according to the number of perforator…

Background: Vascular patency is the key element for high flap survival rates. The purpose of this study was to assess and compare the blood flow characteristics of deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) and muscle-sparing transverse rec…

Background: Deep inferior epigastric perforator and muscle sparing transverse rectus abdominis muscle flaps are commonly used flaps for autologous breast reconstruction. CT-angiography allows to analyse the perforator course preoperatively.…

Adjuvant radiotherapy in breast cancer patients might enhance complications after autologous breast reconstruction, including thrombosis of the internal mammary artery (IMA) precluding its use as recipient vessel. This case report shows a s…

Peri-prosthetic breast infections pose a risk of severe complications after breast implant surgery. The need to remove the breast implant, control the infection and perform additional surgical procedures are the consequences. Reimplantation…

Microsurgery in patients with advanced atherosclerosis is challenging. Calcified vessels can hinder microanastomosis, which precludes free flap reconstruction in those patients. We present a case of a female patient with stage 4 peripheral …

This study presents a novel surgical technique for the reconstruction of highly challenging large lower back defects. In this case, a 72-year-old man initially diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma received nephrectomy followed by the dissect…

[PURPOSE] Symptomatic macromastia causes physical and psychological problems that can lead to restrictions in the patients' social and working lives and a reduced quality of life. Associated medical treatments also have a considerable impac…

[BACKGROUND/AIMS] Macromastia can cause physical and psychological problems. Conservative treatments such as physiotherapy and painkillers lead to substantial long-term costs, without any proven medical benefit. In contrast, surgical treatm…

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. The interdisciplinary treatment is based on the histological tumor type, the TNM classification, and the patient's wishes. Following tumor resection and (neo-) adjuvant therapy strategie…

[BACKGROUND] The formation of professional networks and cooperations - in addition to any qualified good education - seems fundamental for a successful career. In a number of disciplines, various symposia or conferences exist. In the field …

[BACKGROUND] Body contouring surgery after massive weight loss was shown to ameliorate the patient's quality of life and to enhance physical and psychological well-being. However, numerous patients are still obese when presenting for body c…

During the last two decades, understanding and experience of microsurgical reconstruction have increased. This is linked to improved instruments and technical devices, as well as to the increased number of available donor sites for microvas…

[BACKGROUND] The importance of providing high-quality exposure and training in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery during residency has come to the forefront of plastic surgery education. Adequate training in aesthetic surgery, however, ha…

Based on the increasing importance of microsurgical procedures in the field of plastic and hand surgery, as well as in other related fields, a consensus workshop was held during the 31st annual meeting of the German-language working group f…

Since the implementation and use of silicone implants in breast surgery the risks are published and discussed. Especially, the incidence of late silicone implant rupture and its potential risk to induce local siliconomas are still under dis…

[BACKGROUND] The purposes of the authors' analysis were to assess the values that plastic surgical journals demonstrate in terms of the standardized measures created by the Institute for Scientific Information's Journal Citation Report, and…
