Article Abstract

Reconstruction of perineal and groin defects is a challenging problem. Commonly used methods of reconstruction include skin grafts and local flaps. The groin flap is a vascularized axial flap based on the superficial circumflex iliac artery arising from the femoral artery just below the inguinal ligament. Due to the location, the donor defect can usually be closed primarily, leaving an acceptable scar. The use of bilateral groin flaps for coverage of defects of the anterior perineum following excision of condylomas is reported.

This case concerns a 66-year old man with lower abdominal and groin pain and bilateral spontaneous flank ecchymoses, based on a spontaneous bilateral iliopsoas hematoma. This case illustrates that, although uncommon, an iliopsoas hematoma can be the cause of a Grey Turner sign, indicating a retroperitoneal haemorrhage.

Rationale: Open pelvic fractures represent severe traumatic injuries with mortality rates approaching 50%. Complex cases involving multiple organ injuries and massive hemorrhage pose significant challenges in clinical management. Despite advances in trauma care, comprehensive documentation of successful management strategies for severe open pelvic fractures with multiple complications remains limited.

Background: This study aimed to compare the results of open and laparoscopic preperitoneal groin hernia repair.

Methods: This study included patients with groin hernias who underwent open or laparoscopic preperitoneal herniorrhaphy in our department from October 2016 to December 2019 following the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Baseline characteristics, operative variables, recurrence, intraoperative, short-term, and long-term postoperative complications were recorded and further analyzed.

Introduction: Pedicled perforator flaps can be used not only in reconstructive scenarios but also for aesthetic purposes, thereby enhancing both the aesthetics and functionality of the treated area. The authors present two representative cases demonstrating an innovative indication for correcting contour deformities using de-epithelialized perforator flaps recycled from abdominoplasty excision patterns.

Case Reports: Two patients presented with abdominal skin redundancy and contour deformities due to previous surgeries.
