Extended radical excision of aggressive tumors, such as the carotid paraganglioma involving the ethmoid, maxillary and intracranial spaces, results in massive composite craniofacial defects. Successful reconstruction requires simultaneously…

Reconstruction of complex soft-tissue defects around the elbow requires both durable coverage and preservation of joint mobility. Although the anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap is a versatile option, its bulk often limits range of motion (ROM)…

[OBJECTIVE] Radiation therapy to treat hemangiomas is an old method that is no longer used due to its severe side effects. However, in Vietnam, radiotherapy has long been used to treat infantile hemangiomas, which has led to severe sequelae…

[INTRODUCTION] The dorsum of the foot has distinct characteristics, including thin skin and minimal subcutaneous tissue. Injuries in this area can expose deeper structures, complicating recovery and increasing the risk of infection and tiss…

NOMA, or oral labial necrosis, is a severe condition characterized by significant facial tissue destruction and elevated mortality rates, particularly in developing regions. Survivors often experience significant long-term consequences, lea…

Complex hand defects that involve multiple components present significant challenges for reconstructive surgery. The Anterolateral Thigh (ALT) flap is one of the most versatile options in reconstructive microsurgery, offering numerous advan…

[INTRODUCTION] Complex soft tissue injuries in the facial area can arise from various causes. Surgeons face significant challenges when reconstructing these injuries, as they must select appropriate materials based on texture and color, whi…

The DIEP flap has become the first choice for autologous breast reconstruction after total mastectomy and is also used for reconstructing various body parts. However, the reliance on a single vascular pedicle poses a risk of skin compromise…

Complex soft tissue defects in the lower limb pose significant challenges for surgeons, especially when extensive coverage is needed. Free flaps are preferred for their reliable soft tissue, with the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIE…

[INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE] Massive soft tissue defects resulting from burn injuries to the neck present significant challenges for surgical intervention. Free flaps are generally regarded as the preferred approach because they provide re…

[BACKGROUND] Breast hypertrophy is a condition of increased breast volume, occurring at different ages, causing many psychological and physiological problems such as back pain, inflammation of the inframammary folds, and psychological stres…

Complex scalp defects involving soft and hard tissues pose challenges for plastic surgeons. The solution for each defect must depend on various factors and even the technical development of the infrastructure. We present a case study in whi…

Tessier number 10 cleft is one of the rarest facial clefts. Surgical treatment of this type of cleft is challenging due to the complexity of periorbital and temporal soft tissue deformities. A 23-year-old male patient presented with typical…

Facial reconstruction is challenging for plastic surgeons, as it can be difficult to decide the best approach. One technique that has been widely used is the anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap due to its numerous benefits. However, its thicknes…

[OBJECTIVE] The pedicled Internal Mammary Artery Perforator (IMAP) flap is not yet a well-known technique. However, it seems practical for use in thoracic radiation-induced ulcer, especially in recurrence after the failure of convenient rec…

[INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE] Facial deformities caused by chemical burns are often complex, seriously affecting the patient's function and quality of life. Treating these injuries requires the incorporation of multi-staged procedures to ac…

[INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE] Massive facial defects remain a reconstructive challenge because of the region's unique character and the limitation of a well-matched donor site. Pre-expanded free anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap provides a goo…

[INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE] The partial androgen insensitivity syndrome (PAIS) is a rare genetic disorder, which needs to be diagnosed early and provided suitable treatment. One-stage sex reassignment surgery can be considered as one of t…
