Immediate breast reconstruction with a & #39;modified fleur-de-lis & #39; abdominal-free flap in a patient with previous abdominal surgery
Manuel Robustillo, Luis Parra Pont, Georgios Pafitanis, Pedro Ciudad, Daniel Grandes, Israel IglesiasIndian Journal of Plastic Surgery 2018 51(1):89-92DIEP flap has become the gold standard method for patients undergoing autologous breast reconstruction; however, previous surgery or scars in the abdominal area have been considered a relative contraindication for the use of abdominal tissue. Longitudinal midline abdominal scars may be specially problematic because of the poor midline crossover of blood and the high risk of necrosis of the distal flap. Patients with small breast may be easily reconstructed with hemi-DIEP fla...

Infragluteal fasciocutaneous flap for management of recurrent ischial pressure sore
Conclusion: Infragluteal fasciocutaneous flap is reliable option for managing recurrent ischial sore as it transposes well-vascularised thick fasciocutaneous flap from adjacent posterior thigh and its bridge segment can be further used in case of recurrence.

The reverse dorsal metacarpal artery flap in finger reconstruction: A reliable choice
Conclusions: RDMA flap is a reliable flap for finger defects reconstruction. The range of movement mainly depends on the associated injury rather than flap transfer alone and to prove this we require doing analysis of range of movement in patients with flap done alone or with associated injuries.

Versatile use of dermal substitutes: A retrospective survey of 127 consecutive cases
Conclusions: In the authors' experience, the scalp defects followed a radical excision of skin tumours that included the periosteum. Here, the preliminary cover with a hyaluronan three-dimensional scaffold constantly allowed for the regeneration of a derma-like layer with a rich vascular network fit for supporting a split-thickness skin graft. Nevertheless, the authors still prefer Integra® when the goal is a better cosmetic outcome and Hyalomatrix® when a faster wound healing is required, especially in the management of deep wounds where the priority is a fast obliteration with a newly f...

Distal major pedicle of sartorius muscle flap: Anatomical study and its clinical implications
Conclusion: This cadaver study supported by various other studies show that it has sizeable distal pedicle based on which whole muscle can be harvested as flap. In our study, the usual location of this pedicle is at 35 cm from ASIS. The mean diameter of the widest pedicle in distal one-third was 1.54 mm which along with other small diameter pedicle can support the entire muscle. This flap reached up to the infrapatellar region without any vascular compromise. (Source: Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery)

Reconstruction of Type II abdominal wall defects: Anterolateral thigh or tensor fascia lata myocutaneous flaps ?
Conclusion: It can be concluded that flap from the Lateral thigh (ALT or TFL) is flap of choice for large Type II abdominal defects. Including vascularised fascia in the flap maintains abdominal wall integrity and use of synthetic mesh is not necessary. Upper abdominal defects need free flaps and in lower abdominal defects a pedicled flap suffices. (Source: Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery)

A retrospective analysis of latissimus dorsi & #8211;serratus anterior chimeric flap reconstruction in 47 patients with extensive lower extremity trauma
Conclusion: Latissimus dorsi + Serratus anterior free tissue transfer is an effective, reliable method of providing cover to extensive lower limb traumatic defects with minimal donor site morbidity, with added freedom of inset and flap positioning.Specific use is seen in patients with broad proximal defect, long defect in the leg, defects involving adjacent anatomical areas and in large defect with dead space.

Can drains be avoided in lipo-abdominoplasty ?
Conclusions: We found that (a) 'toilet liposuction', (a term the author would like to introduce) (b) multilayer wound closure without tension, (c) avoidance of gliding surfaces d) continuous use of pressure garment for 4 days post-operative and (e) reducing the amount of infiltration are the key factors in avoidance of collections and thus seroma formation. If such a technique is diligently followed, desired results are obtained; yet there is no need to insert drains in most patients. Reducing the need of drains permits early ambulation and better patient comfort without seroma and other complications...
