BRAF V600E Immunohistochemistry Predicts Prognosis of Patients with Cutaneous Melanoma in Thai population
Conclusions: An increased prevalence of the BRAF V600E mutation was determined in a collection of cutaneous melanomas in the Thai population, implying that BRAF-targeted therapy may be a promising strategy for patients with BRAF-mutated cutaneous melanoma. This study revealed an association between the clinicopathological aspects of cutaneous melanoma and overall survival, disease-free survival, and overall mortality. A treatment with anti-BRAF-targeted therapy, which incorporates the already available medications‚ is being researched and developed. (Source: Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery – Global Open)

Autologous Minimally Manipulated Homologous Adipose Tissue (AMHAT) for Treatment of Nonhealing Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Conclusions: Single treatment of bioprinted AMHAT appears to be a safe and potentially effective treatment modality for patients with chronic DFUs. Further studies are warranted to explore the full potential of 3D bioprinting for tissue repair in this high-risk population. (Source: Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery – Global Open)

Lactose Stabilization Prolongs In Vivo Retention of Cross-linked Fish Collagen Subcutaneous Grafts in Nude Mice
Conclusions: Fish collagen has a low denaturation temperature and is unstable and easily biodegrades in mammalian organisms. However, it is possible to approach the properties of conventional mammalian collagen by cross-linking and lactose treatment, suggesting that fish collagen can be used as a scaffold for cells in regenerative medicine.

Practical Review of the Current Management of Frostbite Injuries
Summary: Frostbite is an injury that occurs when the skin and tissues are exposed to temperatures below their freezing point. This type of injury can lead to various complications such as functional loss, chronic pain, and psychological trauma. As such, understanding frostbite management is crucial for optimal patient care. A scoping review was conducted in February 2022 using PubMed, EMBASE, referenced articles and snowballing to identify relevant published articled using the terms “frostbite” and “management” and “surgery. Articles related to pathophysiology, classifications, radiography, complications, and...

A Successful Outcome after Lymphaticovenular Anastomosis Using a Contralateral Augmented Reality Mapping Technique in a Lymphedema Patient Secondary to a Mycobacterium abscessus Infection
We report a case of extremity lymphedema after a Mycobacterium abscessus infection in a 43-year-old man with anti-interferon-Îł autoantibody syndrome. Lymphaticovenular anastomosis was performed using the contralateral healthy or less severe limb as a mirror image to map the lymph vessels in the edematous limb. A satisfying outcome was provided after the surgery. No report of lymphedema caused by this condition has been previously reported in the literature.

External Jugular Venous Aneurysm: A Case Report
In this report, we present the case of a 40-year-old previously healthy woman who presented with a painful mass in her left supraclavicular area after a mild left neck contusion injury one month earlier. A venous aneurysm of the left EJV was diagnosed on the basis of vascular ultrasound and computed tomography angiography and venography findings. The patient underwent surgical removal of the EJV aneurysm for the symptom of pain. The EJV was repaired and preserved based on the intraoperative findings. The treatment resulted in cosmetic improvement and pain relief, with no signs of recurrence. (Source: Plastic and Reconstruc...

Auricular Total Reconstruction with Radial Forearm Prelaminated Flap Assisted by 3D Surface Imaging and 3D Printing
This study aimed to share a particular case of total auricular reconstruction assisted by 3D surface imaging and 3D printing in a radial forearm free flap. We present a 58-year-old man with a history of having tympanic barotrauma causing hearing loss, burdening him with the use of auricular devices for hearing assistance. Seven days before presenting for the initial treatment, he sustained ear trauma while performing mechanical reparations in a car. The wheel was activated, causing a total amputation of the right ear. He first went to another hospital‚ where they performed primary closure and then referred him to our uni...

The UQ Flap: A Novel Modification of the Keystone Flap
Summary: Wound closure following excisions on the leg (between the knee and ankle), including the distal leg, is challenged by limited skin laxity. The keystone flap, first described by Behan in 2003, was proposed as one solution, but with a significant complication rate on the distal leg. This pilot study introduces a novel modification of the keystone flap, named the UQ flap, differing from other modifications, with an un-incised portion on one flap border and a unique curved leading-edge to absorb tension and distribute shearing forces in different directions, providing improved flap security and vascularization. Th...

The “Kite-t-FAMMIF”: A Novel Technique for Reconstruction of Extensive Soft Palate Resection
We present a novel technique using a single “kite-shaped” tunnelized-facial artery myomucosal island flap (t-FAMMIF) and report very favorable functional outcomes. Three patients in whom a kite-shaped flap was used to reconstruct a total soft palate defect after squamous cell carcinoma resection were included. In two of them, the resection included both tonsils due to cancer spreading to the tonsillar fossae. The mucosal and muscular sides of a single t-FAMMIF flap were able to restore the oral and nasal lining of the palate, respectively, without the need to fold the flap. All patients were able to tolerate an oral so...
