A Rare Atypical Case of Asymptomatic and Spontaneous Intraneural Hematoma of Sural Nerve: A Case Report and Literature Review
Arch Plast Surg. 2024 Jan 24;51(2):208-211. doi: 10.1055/a-2218-8461. eCollection 2024 Mar.ABSTRACTIntraneural hematoma is a rare disease that results in an impaired nerve function because of bleeding around the peripheral nerve, with only 20 cases reported. Trauma, neoplasm, and bleeding disorders are known factors for intraneural hematoma. However, here we report atypical features of asymptomatic and spontaneous intraneural hematoma which are difficult to diagnose. A 60-year-old woman visited our clinic with the complaint of a palpable mass on the right calf. She reported no medical history or trauma to the right calf an...

Immediate Partial Breast and Nipple-Areola Complex Reconstruction Using a Superficial Circumflex Iliac Artery Perforator Flap
Arch Plast Surg. 2024 Jan 24;51(2):150-155. doi: 10.1055/a-2223-5325. eCollection 2024 Mar.ABSTRACTThe superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap is a versatile flap that has been described for various applications, mostly for lower extremity coverage and head and neck reconstructions. However, there are few publications reporting its use for breast reconstruction, mainly because of its low volume availability. In this article, we present the case of a patient who successfully underwent a partial breast and immediate nipple-areola complex (NAC) reconstruction with an SCIP flap. She had been previously recon...

Medical Students Understanding of The Scope of Plastic Surgery
Conclusion Improving medical students' education quality can enhance their perception and awareness of plastic surgery. Students should be taught the broader scope of plastic surgery. The inclusion of formal training during undergraduation is the essence of time and should be added to or improved during plastic surgery rotations with more emphasis on reconstructive and hand/peripheral nerve surgery. Student-led interest groups can be a useful tool for educating students about their specialty.PMID:38596147 | PMC:PMC11001442 | DOI:10.1055/a-2219-2411 (Source: Archives of Plastic Surgery)
