Current role of the latissimus dorsi flap in traumatology: Analysis of the activity of a plastic surgery department in a military hospital
Ann Chir Plast Esthet. 2023 Sep 4:S0294-1260(23)00105-X. doi: 10.1016/j.anplas.2023.08.005. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTReconstructive surgery's workhorse, the latissimus dorsi flap is increasingly abandoned in favour of fasciocutaneous flaps. The purpose of this study was to analyse the methods used to perform this flap and the evolution of its indications in order to define its current place in traumatology. Forty-four cases were recorded retrospectively from January 2000 to December 2020 at HIA Percy, including 37 cases of free flaps, mainly performed for reconstruction of extensive loss of substance with bone and/or ...

Phalloplasty by radial forearm free flap in the context of female-to-male gender reassignment surgery
CONCLUSION: Future optimization of the surgical technique for this procedure will be imperative to minimize postoperative complications and establish a true technical "gold standard" for phalloplasty in female-to-male transgender individuals.PMID:37652835 | DOI:10.1016/j.anplas.2023.08.003 (Source: Annales de Chirurgie)

Novel role of fluorescent in situ hybridization technique (FISH) in recommended surgical margins of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans: A preliminary study
CONCLUSIONS: FISH analysis can have a new role in defining tumor-free margins. This would reduce the incidence of disease recurrence after resection and improve the post-operative complementary care.PMID:37652836 | DOI:10.1016/j.anplas.2023.08.006 (Source: Annales de Chirurgie)

Ethical issues of gender reassignment surgery

It questions gender identity and the right to self-determination. Some highlight the right to access the medical care necessary to live according to one's perceived gender. Others worry about the potential rush into major medical decisions, especially among minors. The need for a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria can be seen as pathologizing.
