Anatomic Variations in Head and Neck Reconstruction

This article reviews the commonly encountered variations in the recipient vessels in the neck with emphasis on alternatives and techniques to circumvent these variations. Flaps commonly used in head and neck reconstruction are also reviewed in detail. Furthermore, safety, potential pitfalls, and technical pearls are highlighted.[...]© Thieme Medical PublishersGet connected:Table of contents  |  Abstract  |  Full text (Source: Seminars in Plastic Surgery)

Computer-Assisted Design and Manufacture of Implants in the Late Reconstruction of Extensive Orbital Fractures [Unknown Section Name (research-article)]

Conclusions The CAD/CAM implants represent a financially viable method for secondary reconstruction of the orbit. This method enables the surgeon to plan the operation in detail, facilitates the surgical procedure, and can help to improve the outcome. (Source: Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery)

The role of transverse latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap immediate breast reconstruction

The objective was to detail latissimus dorsi
musculocutaneous flap transversely marked to midline at the back. Patients (n?=?320) who underwent mastectomies and transverse latissimus immediate breast reconstructions (n?=?324) at the Hospital A. C. Camargo (São Paulo, Brazil) between January 2000 and December 2007 were included. Information
on clinical data, technique details, and clinical outcome were prospectively collected. Patient’s age ranged from 27 to 74 years.
Most patients received a silicone gel textured surface implant (79.9%). The mean surgical time was 146 min, and dorsal scar
had 8 to 18 cm in length and 0.3 to 2.5 cm in width. The follow-up varied from 6 to 91 months (mean 42.8). No complications
were observed in 86.4% reconstructions….
