Introduction: Reconstruction of composite defects involving both soft tissue and bone in the extremities remains a complex challenge in reconstructive surgery. The osteocutaneous superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap combines a pliable skin island with vascularized iliac bone, offering a potential solution. However, reports on its application in reconstruction of the upper and lower limb remain limited.

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.

Introduction: Inguinal lymph node dissection (ILND) is crucial for staging and treating several malignancies, but it is often associated with significant morbidity due to postoperative complications. This case series aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of using the superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (L-SCIP) flap, enriched with lymphatic tissue, following ILND and examine its possible effect in preventing these complications.
Methods And Results: A retrospective case series was conducted involving 5 consecutive patients with cancer who underwent ILND followed by an L-SCIP flap in a single procedure at Maastricht University Medical Center between March 2023 and February 2024.

Introduction: Soft tissue defects in the distal limbs are common after traumatic injury. Repairing such defects is challenging because of the lack of adjacent soft tissue for direct closure or use of a local flap, and functional and aesthetic issues are more prominent in the hands and feet. Thin, unbulky free tissue transfer is ideal for achieving functional and aesthetically pleasing reconstructions.

Introduction: Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) represents a widely underdiagnosed and often poorly treated medical problem, affecting 10-50% of all surgical patients, exhibiting neuropathic features in 35-60%. It is hypothesised that surgery-induced tissue damage and the subsequent immune response cause sensory alterations in the early postoperative period, ultimately leading to a chronic neuropathic or nociplastic pain state. The 'Sensory Changes and Immunological parameters in Postsurgical pain' study (SCIP-Pain study) was designed to test this hypothesis and identify sensory alterations and changes in the immunological response that are related to the development of CPSP with neuropathic features.
