Comparison of the efficacy of medial tarsal venous flaps and traditional venous/arterial free flaps in the reconstruction of hand soft tissue defects: a new type of physiological flap

Folia Morphologica
BACKGROUND: The treatment of hand soft tissue defects primarily relies on flap reconstruction. However, traditional venous/arterial free flaps have several disadvantages, including damage to the donor site, blood stasis, cyanosis, blister formation, and ...

Laterally positioned flap with chorion membrane for coverage of isolated gingival miller class III recession

Indian Journal of Dental Sciences, 2019
The treatment of gingival recession (GR) defects is indicated for esthetic reasons, to reduce root sensitivity, to remove muscle pull, and to create or augment keratinized tissue.

Cranioplasty Using Three-Dimensional–Printed Polycaprolactone Implant and Free Latissimus Dorsi Musculocutaneous Flap in a Patient with Repeated Wound Problem following Titanium Cranioplasty

Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2022
Titanium mesh is an alloplastic material widely used for the reconstruction of moderate-to-large skull defects. Repeated wound problems or infection following these reconstructions inevitably lead to the replacement of the cranioplasty material.

Evaluation of the Intraoperative Blood Flow of Pedicled Perforator Flaps Using Indocyanine Green-fluorescence Angiography

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2019
Background:. Although indocyanine-green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) has been established as a useful tool to assess perfusion in free tissue transfer, only few studies have applied this modality to pedicled perforator flaps.

Tissue Engineered Human Elastic Cartilage From Primary Auricular Chondrocytes for Ear Reconstruction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Despite over three decades of research, no tissue‐engineered solution for auricular reconstruction in microtia patients has reached clinical translation. The key challenge lies in generating functional elastic cartilage ex vivo. Here, we integrate synergistic cell‐biomaterial strategies to engineer auricular grafts with mechanical and histological ...

Translational Considerations for Injectable Biomaterials and Bioscaffolds to Repair and Regenerate Brain Tissue

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The repair and regeneration of brain tissue faces both biological and technical challenges. Injectable bioscaffolds offer new opportunities to stimulate tissue regrowth in the brain by recruiting neural stem cells. Here, the translational issues are reviewed that need to be address to advance this promising new therapeutic approach from the bench to ...

Flap Impaling: A Simple and Effective Technique in Soft Tissue Reconstruction of Complex Extremity Wounds

Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery
Composite defects due to trauma present with compound comminuted fractures with soft tissue loss. Stabilization requires multiple Schanz pins across the fracture segments and flap cover for soft tissue reconstruction. These pins hinder flap inset and may

Geometrically Tunable Scaffold‐Free Muscle Bioconstructs for Treating Volumetric Muscle Loss

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Volumetric muscle loss is associated with traumatic muscle resulting in permanent functional impairment. Mold‐based, scaffold‐free, high‐density muscle tissue bioconstructs are developed in customizable geometric shapes and sizes. The transplanted rectangular solid‐shaped muscle bioconstructs improved muscle force recovery and tissue regeneration in ...
