Article Abstract
Due to the progressive shortage of donors, kidneys with congenital anomalies are considered for transplantation. We report a successful transplantation of a split horseshoe kidney from a deceased donor by using the inferior epigastric artery with an end-to-end anastomosis, supplying the isthmus. Thus, we preserved as much as possible the functional parenchyma for a good long-term outcome. The learning point is that the use of the right inferior epigastric artery seems to be a good solution to perfuse the lower artery in order to avoid its ligation, thus reducing the nephron mass of the graft.

Background: Postmastectomy autologous reconstruction (PMAR) is an important component of comprehensive breast cancer care. Previous research has suggested the existence of sociodemographic disparities in complications after immediate PMAR. The objective of this study was to examine the impact of sociodemographic and clinical factors on immediate PMAR postoperative outcomes.

Background: Patient electronic communication (PEC) via secure messaging is important for patient engagement. While PEC has been studied in primary care, data on surgical specialties, particularly plastic surgery, remain limited.
Objectives: This study assessed the volume and content of post-discharge PECs among patients undergoing post-mastectomy autologous breast reconstruction.
Sensory Restoration With Breast Reconstruction: Approaches, Managing Expectations, and Measuring Outcomes.

Background: Loss of breast sensation following mastectomy and reconstruction significantly impacts quality of life, influencing body image, intimacy, and overall emotional well-being. Despite advances in reconstructive techniques, sensory outcomes remain inconsistent, limiting broader clinical adoption of reinnervation strategies. This educational review synthesizes the current scope of sensory restoration in breast reconstruction, examining approaches to reinnervation, sensory outcome measures, and management of patient expectations.

Vascular surgical site infections (SSI) are common and associated with graft infection, surgical reintervention, and increased lengths of stay. While antibiotic prophylaxis and negative pressure dressings have improved SSI rates, reported incidence remains as high as 30%. Robotic approaches have decreased surgical site infections in multiple surgical specialties, but remain without a vascular surgery indication.

Background: End-to-end anastomosis to the internal mammary artery (IMA) is the current standard anastomosis technique for women undergoing autologous breast reconstruction with deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap. This approach fails to preserve the length of the IMA, compromising its availability for cardiac surgery use in women who develop coronary heart disease. A viable alternative may be end-to-side anastomosis, but data on its feasibility is currently lacking.
