[BACKGROUND] The superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap has gained popularity in microsurgical reconstruction, yet anatomical variations of the pedicle poses challenges in flap elevation. The primary aim of this study is…

[BACKGROUND] Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) frequently lead to infections, amputations, and reduced quality of life and therefore limb salvage through flap reconstruction plays a crucial role. However, challenges arise in cases requiring soft …

This study investigates the efficacy of folded dermal grafts in augmentation rhinoplasty to address the high resorption rate associated with dermofat grafts. The retrospective analysis included 14 patients who underwent the procedure betwee…

[BACKGROUND] Although many efforts have been made to create thinner anterolateral thigh (ALT) flaps, their thickness varies among patients, and the flap may be still too thick to match shallow defects. The authors successfully harvested an …

[OBJECTIVE] Frontonasal dysplasia (FND) is a rare congenital condition. Its major features include hypertelorism, a large and bifid nasal tip, and a broad nasal root. We present our technique of septal L-strut reconstruction using costal ca…

[BACKGROUND] In deep inferior epigastric perforator flap surgery, the amount of perfusion achievable in the contralateral side over a midline is unclear. Predicting contralateral perfusion preoperatively using computed tomographic angiograp…

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] The propeller flap is a reliable option for reconstruction after soft tissue sarcoma resection. However, some parts of the resection margin may move away from its original position during flap rotation and thus c…

[BACKGROUND] Total breast reconstruction involves a long process consisting of mastectomy, breast reconstruction, and adjuvant therapy. For various reasons, some patients refuse the final step of nipple-areola reconstruction. Some patients …
