Immediate tendon transfer for functional reconstruction of a dorsal forearm defect after sarcoma resection.
In the treatment of sarcoma, the reconstructive surgeon must consider not only limb salvage but also functional reconstruction. The aim of this study was to evaluate a functional reconstruction of a dorsal forearm defect after sarcoma resec…

The Use of the Deep Brachial Artery as the Recipient Artery for Free Perforator Flap Transfer: An Anatomic Study and Clinical Applications.
Soft tissue reconstruction after sarcoma ablation in the posterior aspect of the upper arm has been commonly addressed using the pedicled latissimus dorsi musculo-cutaneous flap. The use of a free flap for coverage of this region has not be…

Comparison of outcomes following pedicled and free flap transfers for the defect after shoulder sarcoma resection.
[BACKGROUND] Reconstruction after wide resection of a sarcoma arising in the shoulder girdle is challenging, and little evidence is available to compare short-term outcomes between pedicled-flap and free-flap reconstruction. [PATIENTS AND …

Tube-in-Tube Phalloplasty with Tailor-made Bilateral Superficial Circumflex Iliac Artery Perforator Flaps Using Preoperative High-resolution Ultrasound.
In phalloplasty, the radial forearm free flap is the most commonly used flap, followed by the anterolateral thigh flap. Superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flaps have been used in phalloplasty, but bulkiness and unstable p…

Simultaneous Lymphatic Superficial Circumflex Iliac Artery Perforator Flap Transfer from the Zone 4 Region in Autologous Breast Reconstruction Using the Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery Perforator Flap: A Proof-of-Concept Study.
The incidence of upper extremity lymphedema after breast cancer treatment is reported to be 14% after axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) and 33% after ALND and regional lymph node dissection. The present report describes a novel method i…

Totally Endoscopic Resection of Recurrent Convexity Meningioma Following Multiple Surgeries: Oblique Trajectory to Avoid Manipulation of a Vascularized Free Flap: A Technical Note.
[BACKGROUND] Endoscopic surgery is widely used for intraventricular and skull base tumor resections; however, its utility is not limited to deep parts of the brain. [METHODS] A 73-year-old female presented with left-side hemiparesis and se…

Deep Fat Saving Elevation of the Superficial Circumflex Iliac Artery Perforator Flap.
: Prolonged drain stay and lymphorrhea are often problems at the donor site of the superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap. This study aimed to introduce a novel technique of the SCIP flap elevation: Deep Fat Saving (DFS)…

Donor-site Chyle Leakage after Breast Reconstruction Using a Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery Perforator Flap.
Postoperative chyle leakage is an uncommon type of lymphorrhea characterized by a milky white lymphatic fluid. Here, we report a case of postoperative donor-site chyle leakage after breast reconstruction using a deep inferior epigastric art…
