The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes in immediate one-stage breast reconstruction between acellular dermal matrix (ADM) and inferior dermal flap (IDF). Methods We conducted a retrospective compa...

Outcomes evaluated included immediate complications, early complications, rei...
Orbital Exenteration for Eyelid Skin Carcinoma
Guerra, AS; Barbosa, R; Choupina, M; Pinho, C; Ribeiro, M; Pontes, LExenteration of the orbit is a disfiguring and destructive procedure; it is generally performed for orbital malignancies and often provides a significant reconstructive challenge. Our purpose was to evaluate the clinical indications for orbital exenteration in a tertiary referral center and to assess the reconstructive options employed. A retrospective nonrandomized analysis was performed, selecting all patient...
Revascularization and reimplantation of the upper extremity. 15-year-experience...

More amputated digits or limbs survive because the time of ischemia can be exceeded by using cold storage or perfusion. Homo or heterodigital vessel transposition, expanded indications for vein graft interposition, as well as heterotopic transplantation allow for extremity preservation even in crush injuri...
