: Patients admitted to plastic surgery units increasingly present with multimorbidity, advanced age, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic wounds, and complex metabolic requirements. In several surgical specialties, internal medicine sp…

[BACKGROUND] Fingertip and nail bed injuries represent complex reconstructive challenges in hand surgery, requiring restoration of both function and aesthetics. The nail unit's intricate anatomy-comprising the matrix, bed, and surrounding t…

Autologous fat grafting has become integral to breast reconstruction, yet variability in graft retention continues to challenge its reliability. This study aimed to characterize the biological and clinical properties of adipose tissue harve…

[BACKGROUND] Two-stages pre-pectoral breast reconstruction may confer advantages over direct to implant (DTI) and subpectoral reconstruction in selected patients who have no indication for autologous reconstruction. The primary endpoint of …

: Surgeons have long been aware of Murphy's Law: "If anything can go wrong, it will". When applied to surgery, Murphy's Law suggests that if there is a way that an operation can be set up incorrectly then someday, somewhere, it will be set …

[PURPOSE] In modern breast cancer treatment, a growing role has been observed for breast reconstruction together with an increase in clinical indications for postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT). Choosing the optimum type of reconstructive te…

The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), causing COVID-19, has spread across the globe. To limit the spread of COVID-19, the Italian government imposed various restrictions (lockdowns). These restrictions had …

Rectus muscles widened by pregnancy are handled in dramatically different ways in standard abdominoplasty and mesh abdominoplasty. Patients with significant abdominal wall laxity and/or umbilical hernia repair are treated with the use of re…

Mesenchymal stem cells extracted from adipose tissue are particularly promising given the ease of harvest by standard liposuction and reduced donor site morbidity. This study proposes a novel enzymatic method for isolating stem cells using …

[BACKGROUND] Liposuction is a safe, simple, and effective method of body contouring. Pain, ecchymosis, and edema are often local complications at the removal site, especially in the first weeks after surgery. Several studies have shown that…

Plastic surgeons have used the reconstructive ladder for many decades as a standard directory for complex trauma reconstruction with the goal of repairing body structures and restoring functionality. This consists of different surgical mane…

Complex trauma of the upper limb is a common consequence of involvement in serious accidents. Loss of substance including nerve, bone, tendons and vascular defects are challenging surgical issues. A 27- year-old male presented with complex …

[BACKGROUND] Safety of reconstructive microsurgery in elderly patients is still a topic of debate, because no conclusive evidence exists that provides indications and risk evaluation in elderly patients. The purpose of this study, which the…

[BACKGROUND] The objective of this clinical review is to provide an overview of the use of breast implants after capsular contracture (CC) surgical treatment, with a focus on type of implants used. Furthermore, our experience in this field …

Upper limb nerve damage is a common condition, and evidence suggests that functional recovery may be limited following peripheral nerve repair in cases of delayed reconstruction or reconstruction of long nerve defects. A 26-year-old man pre…

Complex limb traumas are commonly treated with microsurgical reconstruction and free flaps. However, complications are frequent in patients affected by a previous trauma or comorbidity, atheromasia and a single valid vessel. Free flap recon…

[UNLABELLED] Oncoplastic breast reduction shares similar aims and principles with esthetic surgery. Superomedial breast reduction provides harmony, symmetry, and satisfactory lower pole projection, but long-term outcomes are not consistentl…

[BACKGROUND] The objective of this clinical review is to provide an overview of the use of silicone gel-filled breast implants placed in the sub-muscular position, with a focus on complication rates reported for both smooth and textured imp…

The authors present a simple technique for operations around hair-bearing areas such as during a rhytidectomy. Hair surrounding the surgical field is twisted into bundles and clipped with duckbill clips. The authors repeat the procedure for…

Hypertrophy of the breast (macromastia and gigantomastia) is a rare medical condition of the breast connective tissues. The etiology of this condition is still not clear; rarely, gigantomastia has been reported to develop in the setting of …

[BACKGROUND] Healthy breast surgery constitutes an important step to achieve symmetry in unilateral implant-based reconstructions. We analysed long-term results of breast symmetry obtained with reduction mammaplasties, and we evaluated whet…

[INTRODUCTION] Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare, potentially fatal, infective complication that can occur after surgery. Diagnosis is still difficult and mainly based on clinical data. Only a prompt pharmacological and surgical therapy …

[BACKGROUND] Periprosthetic capsule formation is a physiological phenomenon occurring around breast implants. In case of capsular contracture, several surgical techniques are described; among them, total capsulectomy is considered the gold …

The graft of autologous fat for the augmentation of soft tissue is a common practice frequently used in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery. In addition, the presence of adipose derived stem cells (ASCs) in adipose tissue stimul…
