Cadaveric Study for Safe Elevation of a Profunda Artery Perforator Flap: Anatomy of the Perforators and Obturator Nerves
Conclusion The results provide a detailed anatomic basis for the PAP flap. The perforators of a PAP flap may be included in a flap with a transverse design. Sacrificing the small obturator nerves during dissection may not lead to significant donor site morbidity.

Trends of Autologous Free-Flap Breast Reconstruction and Safety during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic
Conclusion When comparing outcomes for patients who underwent ABR prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic, we found a significant increase in the odds of reoperation for those who had ABR during the pandemic. Debridement procedures and exploration for postoperative hemorrhage, thrombosis, or infection increased in the prepandemic group compared to the COVID-19 group. Notably, operative times decreased.

Surgical and Patient-Reported Outcomes of Open Perforator-Preserving Anterior Component Separation for Ventral Hernia Repair
Conclusion The OPP-ACS is a safe surgical option for large, complex ventral hernias. Our cases showed minimal complication rate and hernia recurrence, and our patients reported significant improvement in life quality.

Secondary Bony Defects after Soft Tissue Reconstruction in Limb-Threatening Lower Extremity Injuries: Does the Approach to Flap Elevation Matter?
Conclusion Direct flap elevation for secondary bone grafting after soft tissue reconstruction for open tibia fractures did not result in more complications than bone grafting via a remote surgical approach. These findings should reassure surgeons to allow other clinical factors to influence the surgical approach for bone grafting.

Free Tissue Transfer to the Lower Extremity in the Setting of Thrombocytosis and the Role of Antiplatelet Therapy: A Propensity Score –Matched Analysis
Conclusion Preoperative thrombocytosis is not an absolute contraindication to LE FTT. DOS AP therapy may be protective in comorbid patients with elevated platelet counts but must be weighed against possible short-term bleeding as suggested by significant increases in postoperative transfusion requirements.

Lower Extremity Reconstruction with Anterolateral Thigh Free-Flap Anastomoses: A Computational Fluid Dynamic Analysis
Conclusion Selection of flap and recipient vessels with similar diameters can optimize outcomes in microvascular anastomoses. In the context of lower extremity reconstruction with the ALT flap, the PT artery can be recommended as a first-line recipient vessel due to its similar vessel caliber to the LCF and relative ease of surgical access compared with the P artery. Avoidance of areas of stenosis is recommended to ensure laminar flow and reduce the operative difficulty associated with performing anastomoses on nonpliable arteries. Striving for increased acuity of anastomotic angles is recommended to optimize the flow in...

Scheduled Postoperative Ketorolac Does Not Decrease Opiate Use following Free Flap Breast Reconstruction
Conclusion In this study, the use of ketorolac did not significantly reduce opiate use in a cohort of 110 patients. Surgeons should consider whether the use of ketorolac alone is the best option to reduce postoperative opiate use following free flap breast reconstruction.

A Comparison of Postoperative Outcomes Between Immediate, Delayed Immediate, and Delayed Autologous Free Flap Breast Reconstruction: Analysis of 2010 –2020 NSQIP Data
Conclusion Awareness of overall complication rates associated with each reconstructive timing modality can be used to help guide physicians when discussing reconstructive options. Our data suggests that DIBR and DBR are associated with less overall complications than IBR. Physicians should continue to consider patients' unique circumstances when deciding upon which timing modality is appropriate.
