Introduction: Complex soft tissue injuries in the facial area can arise from various causes. Surgeons face significant challenges when reconstructing these injuries, as they must select appropriate materials based on texture and color, while also considering their composition and properties. The anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap has emerged as a versatile option in clinical reconstructive surgery, offering many advantages over other free flaps.

Salecan-based hydrogel (thereafter called Sal-hydrogel) dressings and gut microbiota have been associated with enhanced wound healing. However, the relationship between these two factors remains unclear. This study investigated the dynamic characteristics of the intestinal microbiota in relation to the Sal-hydrogel dressings and their role in promoting wound healing.

Vascularized reconstruction of bone defects in the foot after osteomyelitis is a complex procedure that requires an orthoplastic collaboration. This case demonstrates the successful use of a free osteocutaneous fibula flap with a perforator-based skin island to reconstruct the medial midfoot following a late-onset infection after fusion for osteonecrosis. A 63-year-old woman presented after osteonecrosis and failed surgeries, including talonavicular and naviculocuneiform arthrodesis complicated by infection.

Background: Tattoos help guide field placement in breast re-irradiation. This study evaluates the stability of medial tattoos in patients with prior breast radiotherapy (RT) to determine their reliability as surface markers.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively identified patients who had breast/chest wall re-irradiation between January 2022 and December 2023 (RT) and prior breast RT (RT) at our institution.

Complex ventral hernias pose a significant surgical challenge, particularly those with large defects or loss of domain. Traditional techniques may be associated with high complication rates or insufficient defect coverage. The modified Carbonell-Bonafé anatomical component separation (ACS) technique offers an innovative approach to achieve tension-free closure and functional abdominal wall reconstruction.
