Diagnostical accuracy of hyperspectral imaging after free flap surgery
This study aimed to analyze the diagnostic accuracy of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) after free-tissue transfer surgery. From January 2017 to October 2019, 42 consecutive free-flap surgeries were performed, and their outcomes were analyzed via HSI. Clinical examination of free-flap perfusion was initially performed. Clinical examination findings were subsequently compared with those of HSI. Potential venous congestion with subsequent necrosis was defined as a tissue hemoglobin index of ≥53%. Student's t-test was used to compare the results of the analysis. The evaluation of sensitivity and specificity for flap failure dete...

Long-term effectiveness of conservative management for lateral epicondylitis: a meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: The present conventional conservative management for lateral epicondylitis, with the exception of ESWT, a lack adequate evidence supporting their long-term effectiveness.PMID:37615315 | DOI:10.2340/jphs.v58.12333 (Source: Journal of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery)

Comparison of patient-reported achievements of goals and core outcomes with delayed breast reconstruction in irradiated patients: latissimus dorsi with an implant versus DIEP
CONCLUSION: After 7 years, patients' breast-specific quality of life, normality, women's cosmetic satisfaction, self-esteem, emotional well-being, and physical well-being seem to be higher in irradiated patients who have been reconstructed with DIEP flap as compared to patients reconstructed with LD flap and implant. In both groups, patient satisfaction is high regarding their appearance when clothed, whereas the lowest satisfaction scores were reported in situations without clothing.PMID:37615328 | DOI:10.2340/jphs.v58.12417 (Source: Journal of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery)
