Background: Central facial soft tissue defect poses a unique challenge for the reconstructive surgeon. The three-dimensional properties of aesthetic subunit and its related function are goals reconstruction. Considering prominent social role face, procedure to achieve good quality life patients may cost more than single surgery. This single-center study presents an algorithm treatment central i...

Background. A quasi-experimental retrospective study was undertaken to evaluate a new concept of free tissue volume restoration combined with bridging reconstruction plate (compartment approach) to reduce plate-related complication rates. Methods. We evaluated 40 patients with large lateral mandible defects and associated complex soft tissue defects reconstructed with a revascularized soft tiss...

Management of abdominal wall defects can occur after blast injury. Reconstruction requires a multidisciplinary approach management for speedy and satisfactory recovery. We present a case of blast injury which resulted in abdominal wall defect along with skin and soft tissue defect over penis. Abdominal wall was reconstructed by mesh application to strengthen the abdominal wall followed by a tra...

Spontaneous herniation of the temporomandibular joint along a bony defect in external auditory canal is an uncommon condition that may lead to otologic symptoms. A 43-year-old gentleman presented with otalgia and soft tissue lesion, which flattens upon opening jaw. Computed tomography scan temporal region confirmed presence lesion herniated through wall defect. This should be included different...

Restoration of anterior ridge defects with missing teeth both in height and width is critical for a dentist to restore. Restoration of lost teeth along with the bony defect restricts many modes of conventional treatments available. For obtaining functionally and aesthetically acceptable results a combination of fixed and removable prosthesis has turned out to be outstanding without the need for...

After first success of epidermal autotransplantation onto a granulating wound in 1869, skin graft become a standard option for closing defect that cannot be closed primarily. [1] Skin graft can be used in various clinical situations. For the reconstruction of traumatic wounds, burn wound, soft tissue defect or skin defect after cancer ablation surgery or after removal of pigmented skin lesion, ...

A microsurgical latissimus dorsi flap was performed for resurfacing a large soft tissue defect of the forearm with exposure of the vital structures and contaminated wound. Early coverage of a defect is a generally accepted concept to achieve a better functional result. The authors present a case report where a free latissimus dorsi flap with subsequent hyperbaric oxygen therapy allowed a succes...

UNLABELLED Background. AlloDerm® acellular dermal matrix ([ADM], Lifecell Corp, Branchburg, NJ) is gaining increasing popularity in virtually every surgical subspecialty for use in the closure of soft tissue defects, structural support, or tissue augmentation. There is limited experience in lower extremity fascial reconstruction secondary to trauma, as this can be a challenging problem for th...
