Article Abstract
Microsurgical replantation is the standard method to treat penile amputation. The loss of variable area of skin is a common complication following penile replantation due to prolonged ischaemia time, postoperative venous congestion, oedema and wound infection. There is limited literature available on the management of complications following replantation. A skin graft is commonly used to resurface the denuded areas after skin necrosis. However, this simple and rapid approach has some inherent disadvantages, including paresthesia, contracture, mismatched skin colour and disfiguring donor site. In this report, we present the salvage of a replanted penis by a bipedicled scrotal flap in which the skin fragment was necrosed due to prolonged ischaemia time. Cosmetic and functional outcomes in the 1-year follow-up period were satisfactory.

Introduction: 5-Hydroxymethyl furfural (5-HMF) is a furan compound with a molecular formula of CHO. Studies have found that 5-HMF has many pharmacological effects, such as improving hemorheology, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant activity and anti-myocardial ischemia. Identifying the preventive effect of 5-HMF against ischemic stroke and its possible mechanism was the aim of this investigation.

Objectives: On-site normothermic machine perfusion of the liver may require hepatic arterial reconstruction. The effect of arterial reconstruction on the deve-lopment of primary ischemic cholangiopathy has not been fully elucidated in liver transplants with organs donated after circulatory death. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of normothermic machine perfusion with arterial reconstruction at the onset of ischemic cholangiopathy in liver transplants with organs donated after circulatory death.

Static cold storage (SCS) on ice has remained the gold standard preservation method for heart transplantation, and prolonged cold ischemia outside the typical 4-6 hour window is associated with an increased risk of primary graft dysfunction - a consequence attributed to ischemic damage and reperfusion injury. This, unfortunately limits the travel radius for donor heart procurement, a key factor that contributes to the overall shortage of donor organs. Recent research and clinical data have illustrated the validity of other preservation systems in preserving cardiac allografts, and many of these devices have shown promise in potentially prolonging the tolerated ischemic time beyond the accepted standard.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is defined pathologically as myocardial cell death resulting from prolonged ischaemia. The clinical definition of this pathological process relies on clinical evidence of myocardial ischaemia and biomarker evidence of myocardial cell death. Cardiac troponins are the standard clinical biomarker for assessing cardiac cell death.

Acute extremity compartment syndrome (CS) is a serious medical complication triggered by factors such as trauma, vascular injury, or prolonged compression, resulting in elevated intracompartmental pressure (ICP) and tissue ischemia. Diagnosis remains challenging, mainly relying on the subjective evaluation of clinical symptoms. Different animal models have been used to study pathophysiology and evaluate diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
