Optimising aesthetic outcome after nipple-areola complex-sparing mastectomy and immediate one-stage prosthetic reconstruction: A simple surgical trick to fix nipple-areola complex position
Conclusions: This simple surgical trick has been shown to be safe and effective in optimising the aesthetic outcome in a patient undergoing NAC sparing mastectomy and immediate one-stage prosthetic reconstruction. Level IV: evidence obtained from multiple time series with or without the intervention, such as case studies. Dramatic results in uncontrolled trials might also be regarded as this type of evidence.

Adipokine concentrations in lipoaspirates may have a role in wound healing
Conclusion: In summary, we demonstrated that KGF, aFGF, bFGF and VEGF, as well as leptin and adiponectin, are contained in fat suspensions obtained by liposuction and in the supernatant. Only the concentration of adiponectin was in the range reported to contribute to wound healing. (Source: Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery)

Computed tomography angiographic study of internal mammary perforators and their use as recipient vessels for free tissue transfer in breast reconstruction
Conclusions: Though the internal mammary perforators are anatomically consistent, their use as recipients in free tissue transfer for breast reconstruction eventually rests on multiple variables. (Source: Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery)

Role of customised negative-pressure wound therapy in the integration of split-thickness skin grafts: A randomised control study
Conclusions: Custom-made NPWT is a safe, simple and effective technique in the integration of STSG as compared to the conventional dressings. We have been able to reduce the financial burden on the patients as well as the hospital significantly while achieving results at par with other studies which have used commercially available NPWT.

Triceps to biceps transfer for restoration of elbow flexion following upper brachial plexus injury
Pothula Durga Prasada Rao, Rayidi Venkata Koteswara Rao, R SrikanthIndian Journal of Plastic Surgery 2017 50(1):35-42
Introduction: Upper brachial plexus injury in adults causes loss of elbow fl exion; when the primary nerve surgery has failed or the patient seeks treatment after 12 months of injury and pedicled muscle transfers are required. Most commonly, the latissimus dorsi or the Steindler flexorplasty is used. Material and Methods: We have transferred one of the heads of triceps muscle to restore the elbow flexion in such cases. In addition to return of elbow flexion, extension of elbow following surgery is retained...

Soft embalming of cadavers for training purposes: Optimising for long-term use in tropical weather
Conclusions: The Theil embalming technique for obtaining soft embalmed cadavers, even though found to be best in many centres in the world, has not been found to be suitable to tropical weather. By modifying it, we have succeeded in developing a technique suitable to the tropical weather. This technique yields cadavers suitable for various surgical simulation exercises. This technique also allows the body to be optimally used over several months in multiple occasions. These modifications are very simple and have been described in detail enabling it to be adopted by any surgical skill laboratory in the tropical countries. (...

Proposal of a new classification scheme for periocular injuries
Conclusion: The SPOT classification seems to be a reliable system to address eyelid injuries. This classification scheme would guide the ophthalmic and facial reconstructive surgeons to provide optimal outcomes in eyelid injuries.Based on the classification scheme and review of existing literature, an algorithm is presented to facilitate repair and reconstruction.

The neurochemistry of peripheral nerve regeneration
Andreea Benga, Fatih Zor, Ahmet Korkmaz, Bogdan Marinescu, Vijay GorantlaIndian Journal of Plastic Surgery 2017 50(1):5-15
Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) can be most disabling, resulting in the loss of sensitivity, motor function and autonomic control in the involved anatomical segment. Although injured peripheral nerves are capable of regeneration, sub-optimal recovery of function is seen even with the best reconstruction. Distal axonal degeneration is an unavoidable consequence of PNI. There are currently few strategies aimed to maintain the distal pathway and/or target fidelity during regeneration across the zone of ...
