Real-Time Subcutaneous Arterial Navigation for Thinning of an Anterolateral Thigh Flap Using Photoacoustic Imaging and Projection Mapping: A Case Report.
Thinning of anterolateral thigh flap is challenging. Anatomical studies have shown variations in arterial branching patterns in the subcutaneous layer, which were suspected to be the reason for the high frequency of thinning failures. We at…

Photoacoustic Imaging of Midline-Crossing Vessels and Implications for Surgical Strategy in Patients With Midline Abdominal Scars.
[INTRODUCTION] Blood vessels are severed in patients with midline vertical abdominal scars, but detailed reports on the status of vessels penetrating the scar or vertical location from the umbilicus of the midline-crossing vessels in vivo a…

Noninvasive visualization of the midline-crossing arterial variation in the deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap using photoacoustic tomography for application in patients with abdominal scars.
[BACKGROUND] The importance of the subcutaneous arterial network crossing the midline in transverse abdominal flaps has been reported. Photoacoustic tomography can be used to noninvasively visualize subcutaneous vascular networks. We applie…

Lower Lip Reconstruction Using a Sensory Anterolateral Thigh Flap as the First Choice.
Local flaps from the upper lip and cheeks have been the first choice for two-thirds to total resection of the lower lip. However, these local flap techniques involve many clinical problems, including small a mouth, drooling, scarring, and h…

Characteristics and distribution of chronic pain after mastectomy and breast reconstruction: a long-term prospective cohort study.
[PURPOSE] Chronic pain following breast surgery is a concern for breast cancer survivors; however, few studies have investigated the localization of persistent postoperative pain. We conducted this study to identify the location of pain fol…

Flap Viability Evaluation Using a Tissue Oximetry Camera as an Alternative to Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Imaging.
Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging is useful for assessing flap viability; however, it is associated with a risk of anaphylactic shock, even in patients with no history of drug allergies. Snapshot is a noncontact, camera-type hand…

The volume-outcome relationship in free-flap reconstruction: A nationwide study based on the Clinical Database.
[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…
- Current ethical considerations of cadaver surgical training for Japanese plastic and reconstructive surgeons.

REDV-modified decellularized microvascular grafts for arterial and venous reconstruction.
Recently, a decellularized microvascular graft (inner diameter: 0.6 mm) modified with the integrin α4β1 ligand, REDV, was developed to provide an alternative to autologous-vein grafting in reconstructive microsurgery, showing good early-sta…

Long-Term Patient Satisfaction and Quality of Life Following Breast Reconstruction Using the BREAST-Q: A Prospective Cohort Study.
[BACKGROUND] Breast reconstruction is a promising surgical technique to improve health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with breast cancer. However, the long-term risk factors associated with HRQoL after breast surgery are still …
-
Risk factors associated with chronic pain after mastectomy: a prospective study with a 5-year follow-up in Japan.
[BACKGROUND] Chronic pain is a major complication following breast surgery including breast reconstruction. We previously examined prospective patient-specific and medical/surgical factors that predict chronic pain a year after breast surge…

Central Mandibular Reconstruction by Semiopen Wedge Osteotomy Double-barrel Fibula Flap for a Slim Aesthetic Appearance.
Mandibular reconstruction involving the central segment after malignant tumor resection requires the achievement of both functional and aesthetic quality. Three-dimensional reproduction based on the concept of a double arc composed of a mar…

Pyoderma Gangrenosum after Breast Cancer Resection: A Less-invasive and Early Treatment Using the Skin around Ulcers.
Surgical invasion is a risk factor of pyoderma gangrenosum (PG). A total of 25% of postoperative PG cases were reported to occur after breast surgeries, including bilateral breast reduction and breast reconstruction following cancer resecti…

Fingerstall-type Tissue Oximetry Reduced Anxiety of Nurses in Postoperative Nursing Monitoring of Free Flaps.
[UNLABELLED] Postoperative free flap monitoring is essential for immediately detecting obstruction of anastomosed vessels with successive recovery surgery for salvaging flaps. We performed postoperative nursing monitoring using handheld Dop…

High Hydrostatic Pressure Therapy Annihilates Squamous Cell Carcinoma in a Murine Model.
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is one of the most common skin cancers. In the treatment of cSCC, it is necessary to remove it completely, and reconstructive surgery, such as a skin graft or a local or free flap, will be required, …

Conchal Cartilage Graft for Correction of Bilateral Cleft Lip Nasal Deformities during Childhood.
[BACKGROUND] Various methods for primary repair of bilateral cleft lip have been developed, but they often produce inadequate results, such as an upturned nose or a short columella. We perform primary lip repair with muscle reconstruction t…
