Worldwide, secondary lymphedema is most often associated with parasitic infection; within the United States, secondary lymphedema is most often caused by surgical disruption of the lymphatic drainage basins due to cancer surgery and/or radiation. For patients with lymphedema secondary to parasitic infection, treatment of the offending infectious organism (Wuchereria bancroftii) is critical. For patients with surgical disruption of the lymphatic drainage basin(s), patients are first managed non-operatively with compression and manual lymphatic drainage massage. Over the past decade, surgical techniques have been developed and implemented to improve lymphatic drainage for patients with post-surgical secondary lymphedema. These procedures, including lymphovenous bypass or vascularized lymph node transfer, are aimed at reconstituting lymphatic drainage and reducing lymphatic retention to alleviate early lymphedema. An appreciation of the underlying physiology responsible for secondary lymphedema, and diagnosis and management is required to provide timely and appropriate care for these patients.\u0000\u0000This review contains 2 tables, 4 figures, and 32 references\u0000Keywords: lymphedema, lymphedema treatment, secondary lymphedema, complete decongestive therapy, lymphovenous bypass, vascularized lymph node transplantation, debulking surgery, ICG lymphangiography, lymphedema staging","PeriodicalId":11151,"journal":{"name":"DeckerMed Plastic Surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72804213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Owing to their preexisting burden of disease, caring for renal transplant recipients is complex. Patient management following successful renal transplantation involves a multifactorial approach to cardiovascular risk factor management, along with titration of immunosuppression, management of complications related to immunosuppression, and active monitoring of allograft function. Recent advances in immunosuppressive management hold promise for improved long-term allograft survival. Finally, immune monitoring of transplant recipients is an area of considerable research, with the ultimate aim of individualized management of immunosuppression and the ability to induce transplant-specific tolerance.\u0000This review contains 7 figures, 11 tables, and 119 references.\u0000Key words: cardiovascular disease, drug interactions, immunosuppression, infection, interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy, malignancy, rejection, tolerance","PeriodicalId":11151,"journal":{"name":"DeckerMed Plastic Surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82048897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wee","doi":"10.2310/surg.2051","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2310/surg.2051","url":null,"abstract":"In most instances, laparoscopy has replaced open procedures as the standard of care. Nevertheless, equipoise remains in the literature regarding the benefits of surgery compared with alternative treatment strategies such as medications in the case of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or endoscopic procedures in the case of achalasia. According to Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) guidelines published in 2010, indications for surgery include (1) failure of medical management, (2) patient preference, (3) complications of GERD (Barrett esophagus, peptic stricture), and (4) extraesophageal manifestations (asthma, hoarseness, cough, chest pain, aspiration). This chapter is organized by surgical procedure, all of which are derivatives of the laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication. In this chapter, the authors focus on minimally invasive surgical approaches to the treatment of the following benign esophageal disorders: GERD, achalasia, and paraesophageal hernias. New in this chapter is the in-depth coverage of laparoscopic paraesophageal hernia repair. The majority of patients with paraesophageal hernias are asymptomatic, and their hernias are found incidentally with a retrocardiac gastric bubble on an upright chest x-ray or herniated gastroesophageal junction seen on a chest or abdominal computed tomographic scan. For patients who are symptomatic, surgical repair is indicated as there is no medical treatment for this mechanical problem. For asymptomatic patients, clinical judgment needs to be used. All surgical procedures are covered by preoperative evaluation, operative planning, and operative technique, with a troubleshooting note for every step. Procedure complications, postoperative care, and outcome evaluation follow each procedure, listing the most current reports and data.\u0000This review contains 10 figures, 9 tables and 49 references\u0000Keywords: Minimally invasive surgery, esophagectomy, myotomy, gastroesophageal reflux disease, Barrett esophagus, Nissen fundoplication, fundoplication, paraesophageal hernia","PeriodicalId":11151,"journal":{"name":"DeckerMed Plastic Surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86182788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The concept of facial buttresses first described forty years ago now serves as a guide to reconstruction of the underlying skeleton to re-establish the height, width, and projection of the face. With the advent of 3D computed tomography and intraoperative imaging, surgeons have expanded the armamentarium for surgical planning and navigation, especially beneficial for accurate repair in complex cases. All of these advances have improved patient outcomes and raised expectations for functionally and aesthetically acceptable results.
