Local and systemic coagulation marker response to musculocutaneous flap ischemia –reperfusion injury and remote ischemic conditioning: An experimental study in a porcine model
ConclusionsThe local coagulation marker response to musculocutaneous flap ischemia–reperfusion could be measured systemically by moderate hypercoagulation. RIC did not substantially influence coagulation markers following musculocutaneous flap ischemia–reperfusion injury. (Source: Microsurgery)

Preserving a patent DIEP pedicle to facilitate salvage breast reconstruction with a second free flap: A case report
We present a case of 47‐year‐old patient who suffered near‐total right breast deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap failure 3 days post‐bilateral immediate breast reconstruction with DIEP flaps. At debridement, the DIEP pedicle was noted to be patent with preserved perfusion to a small segment of tissue around the origin of the pedicle. This tissue and the DIEP pedicle itself were therefore preserved to facilitate subsequent breast reconstruction using stacked transverse upper gracilis flaps anastomosed end‐to‐end to the original DIEP pedicle. Post‐operatively, both flaps remained viable with no fur...

Sliding free transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap for closure of a massive abdominal wall defect: A case report
We report the case of a 72‐year‐old morbidly obese female patient with Clostridium septicum‐related gas gangrene of the abdominal wall. After multidisciplinary treatment and multiple extensive debridements, a massive full‐thickness defect (40 cm × 35 cm) of the right abdominal wall was present. The abdominal contents were covered with a resorbable mesh to prevent evisceration. Finally, the composite defect was successfully reconstructed through a contralateral extended free transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneus (TRAM) flap (50 cm × 38 cm). An arterio‐venous loop to the superficial femoral vessels using the gr...

Nose resurfacing with free fasciocutaneous flaps in burns patients
ConclusionsFree flap is an applicable alternative to restore nasal skin envelope, with rebuilding the nasal framework performed in the same stage after severe facial burn injury. Through thoughtful planning and sufficient refinement, satisfactory aesthetic, and functional results are achievable. (Source: Microsurgery)

Esophageal reconstruction after oncological total laryngopharyngoesophagectomy: Algorithmic approach
ConclusionsThe proposed algorithm that ranks gastric pull‐up as a priority and uses additional free tissue transfer to overcome the anastomotic tension or associated neck‐skin defect is feasible. (Source: Microsurgery)
