Does Dangling the Lower Extremity after Free Flap Reconstruction Reduce Partial Flap Loss? A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.
[BACKGROUND] Controlled, gradually increased venous pressure exposure of lower extremity free flaps (dangling) is common, based on the assumption that this reduces (partial) flap loss. Dangling protocols potentially increase length of hospi…

The Qaly study: Quality of life and lower extremity lymphedema in 174 patients after inguinal lymphadenectomy.
[BACKGROUND] Lower extremity lymphedema (LEL) can develop in patients who undergo inguinal lymph node dissection (ILND) in the treatment of gynecologic, genitourinary, and skin and soft tissue malignancies. While LEL can negatively impact q…

Patient-reported outcomes after free muscle flap coverage for therapy-resistant neuropathic pain from the ulnar nerve.
Extensive microsurgical neurolysis followed by free gracilis muscle flap coverage can be performed as a last resort for patients with persistent neuropathic pain of the ulnar nerve. All patients who had this surgery between 2015 and 2021 we…

Mental health is strongly associated with capability after lower extremity injury treated with free flap limb salvage or amputation.
[BACKGROUND] Knowledge about factors associated with long-term outcomes, after severe traumatic injury to the lower extremity, can aid with the difficult decision whether to salvage or amputate the leg and improve outcome. We therefore stud…

Patient-reported esthetic outcomes following lower extremity free flap reconstruction: A cross-sectional multicenter study.
[INTRODUCTION] The goal of lower-extremity reconstructions is primarily to salvage the leg; however, esthetic outcomes are also important. This study aimed to assess the impact of a lower extremity free tissue transfer regarding social func…

Is there a difference in venous thrombosis rate in free flap anastomoses based on coupler diameter? A systematic review. Does Size Really Matter?
[BACKGROUND] The adage is to use the largest anastomotic coupler device (coupler) size possible, since smaller an anastomosis might be more susceptible to thrombosis. It is unclear if this wisdom is supported by data. This study tests the h…

Free muscle flap coverage as last resort for therapy-resistant neuropathic pain in the upper extremity: A long-term retrospective follow-up study.
[BACKGROUND] Persistent neuropathic pain severely impacts physical functioning and quality of life (QoL). However, optimal surgical management of persistent neuropathic pain remains unclear. Extensive neurolysis with subsequent free muscle …

Systematic review of treatments for diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
[AIM] To evaluate treatment options for neuropathic pain and sensory symptoms resulting from diabetic peripheral neuropathy of the feet. [METHODS] The databases PubMed, Embase and Web-of-Science were searched for randomized controlled tria…
