Optimization of breast reconstruction results using TMG flap in 30 cases: Evaluation of several refinements addressing flap design, shaping techniques, and reduction of donor site morbidity
ConclusionsCompared to the conventional group, enhanced aesthetic results with consecutive reduction of secondary refinements could be achieved when using our modified flap harvesting and shaping techniques, as well as our methods for reducing contour deformities after rib resection and for overcoming donor site morbidities.

Masseteric cooptation and crossfacial nerve grafting: Is it still applicable 22 months after the onset of facial palsy?
ConclusionsMasseteric/crossfacial nerve grafting is feasible for patients with palsies 20‐24 months in duration, affording satisfactory functional and esthetic results and a dramatic improvement in quality of life. (Source: Microsurgery)

Robotic ‐assisted deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap abdominal harvest for breast reconstruction: A case report
ABSTRACT
The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is a mainstay of autologous breast reconstruction. The da Vinci robot has recently been adapted for an increasing number of reconstructive surgeries. The literature has yet to describe its use for the intra‐abdominal harvest of the deep inferior epigastric vessels (DIEV) during DIEP flap breast reconstruction. We show the use of the da Vinci robotic surgical system for the intra‐abdominal dissection of DIEV during delayed breast reconstruction with a DIEP flap in a 51‐year‐old female who had undergone a right modified radical mastectomy. After dissecting ...

Experience with pharmacologic leeching with bivalirudin for adjunct treatment of venous congestion of head and neck reconstructive flaps
ConclusionsBivalirudin is a safe and feasible adjunct therapy for treatment of flap congestion. It may serve as a useful alternative to traditional leech therapy, as bivalirudin negates the need for antibiotic prophylaxis, eliminates the psychological aversion associated with leech therapy, and avoids the potential for leech migration. Further work to determine the efficacy of bivalirudin to standard leech therapy is warranted. (Source: Microsurgery)
