Microenvironment Remodeling Self-Healing Hydrogel for Promoting Flap Survival
In this study, we developed a microenvironment remodeling self-healing hydrogel [laminarin-chitosan-based hydrogel-loaded extracellular vesicles and ceria nanozymes (LCH@EVs&CNZs)] to improve the flap microenvironment and synergistically promote flap regeneration and survival. The natural self-healing hydrogel (LCH) was created by the oxidation laminarin and carboxymethylated chitosan via a Schiff base reaction. We loaded this hydrogel with CNZs and EVs. CNZs are a class of nanomaterials with enzymatic activity known for their strong scavenging capacity for reactive oxygen species, thus alleviating oxidative stress. EV...

Syndactyly Reconstruction Technique Utilizing Skin Substitute
Tech Hand Up Extrem Surg. 2024 Feb 22. doi: 10.1097/BTH.0000000000000473. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSyndactyly reconstruction often times leaves areas of skin deficit that require coverage for healing. Numerous techniques have been reported to address the deficits, including graftless technique, which utilizes mobilization of adjacent skin for coverage, full-thickness skin grafting, and skin substitute grafts. The technique described here demonstrates the ease of the use of skin substitutes for coverage in syndactyly reconstruction and reports the expected outcomes.PMID:38385451 | DOI:10.1097/BTH.0000000000000473 (Source: Hand Surgery)

Coverage for the vascular pedicle of a free fasciocutaneous flap using split thickness skin graft with auxiliary procedure to achieve a safe method with no impairment of vessels: a case series and literature review
ConclusionsDuring microvascular transfer of free flaps, if no skin flap is available to cover the vascular pedicle, skin graft can be used to protect the vessels without compromising the circulation of the flap. Our results, in accordance with the literature, supports the safety of this technique when direct closure of the skin above and near the pedicle is not possible.Level of evidenceLevel IV, Therapeutic.

Acellular Fish Skin for Deep Dermal Traumatic Wounds Management; Introducing a Novel Dressing
Arch Acad Emerg Med. 2023 Nov 27;12(1):e14. doi: 10.22037/aaem.v12i1.2103. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTThe optimal therapy for deep wounds is based on the early debridement of necrotic tissue followed by wound coverage to avoid a systemic inflammatory response and optimize scar-free healing. The outcomes are affected by available resources and underlying patient factors, which cause challenges in wound care and suboptimal outcomes. Here we report a patient with deep dermal injury wounds, who was treated with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) gel, plasma rich in growth factor (PRGF) gel, and acellular fish skin. Patient's outcomes re...

Neovagina creation methods in M üllerian anomalies and risk of malignancy: insights from a systematic review
ConclusionAlthough rare, neovaginal carcinoma is a definite risk after vaginal reconstruction, regardless of the adopted technique. Gynaecologic visits including the speculum examination, the HPV DNA and/or the Pap smear tests should be scheduled on an annual basis. (Source: Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics)

Effect of Different Local Antibiotic Regimens on Prevention of Postoperative Infection in Clean Surgical Wounds: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The findings indicate that local antibiotics combined with conventional antibiotics in the wound before wound closure are effective in reducing the incidence of SSI in clean surgical wounds. Vancomycin inoculation of the graft exhibited the best effect.PMID:38353666 | DOI:10.1097/ASW.0000000000000094 (Source: Adv Data)

Tumescent Technique for Split-thickness Skin Graft Donor Sites: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials
Split-thickness skin grafting (STSG) is widely used for reconstructive wound management. The purpose of this review was to use level I evidence to determine if tumescent techniques were safe and effective compared to other interventions for STSG donor sites. It was hypothesized that tumescent techniques were both safe and effective for STSG donor sites. (Source: Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery)
