This case report describes a 54-year-old woman who underwent a unique \"breast-splitting\" technique for right breast reconstruction after a mastectomy for a metaplastic carcinoma. The reconstruction was performed using a pedicled flap derived from the hypertrophic contralateral left breast, supplied not only by parasternal perforators, but also by several intercostal perforators from the breast septum, and was prepared with internal mammary vessels. The main advantages of this procedure over the previously described breast-splitting technique (based on the parasternal perforator) are the possibility to use a high-volume flap and to obtain a long pedicle, which allows free rotation of the flap and avoids the synmastia effect after passing under the skin of the sternum. At the same time, a Thorek breast reduction was performed on the left breast. The procedure yielded satisfactory aesthetic outcomes, and there were no complications at the 6-month follow-up. Further research is needed to assess the long-term outcome and wider applicability of this approach in breast reconstruction.","PeriodicalId":20149,"journal":{"name":"Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Global Open","volume":"13 6","pages":"e6858"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12151032/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144267032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the current literature using allogenic bone grafts for mandibular defects is limited, existing studies have demonstrated its efficacy in the immediate reconstruction of mandibular defects following benign tumor ablation. In this case series, we evaluate the outcomes of immediate mandibular reconstruction using a combination of DBX, rhBMP-2, and FDBC following 6 benign mandibular tumor removals. At 6 months postoperatively, we achieved no graft failures with 4 (67%) graft sites achieving 100% graft take and 2 (33%) defects achieving approximately 80% graft take.

Typically, SCPs from the PA run ventrally to the FHL, whereas musculocutaneous perforators (MCPs) penetrate the muscle. SCPs running dorsally around the FHL, particularly those arising from the PA, have not yet been reported. A 53-year-old male patient underwent total hard palatectomy, followed by maxillary reconstruction with a fibular osteocutaneous flap. Preoperative computed tomography angiography revealed a perforator from the PA, initially thought to be an MCP due to its mediodorsal course. Intraoperatively, the perforator was identified as the SCP running dorsally around the FHL. This perforator was accidentally ligated during flap harvesting, necessitating perforator-to-perforator anastomosis to restore blood flow. The flap was successfully transplanted into the maxilla, highlighting the importance of preoperative imaging in perforator mapping. If the course of the perforator was correctly identified preoperatively as an SCP arising from the PA and running dorsally around the FHL, the flap could have been harvested without additional microvascular anastomoses. Magnetic resonance angiography, which offers superior differentiation between SCPs and MCPs, may prevent this complication when computed tomography angiography does not provide a definitive assessment of the perforators' course.","PeriodicalId":20149,"journal":{"name":"Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Global Open","volume":"13 6","pages":"e6860"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12150909/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144267035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Infection is a common complication of lower extremity flap coverage and is associated with prolonged hospitalization, high costs, and poor patient-reported outcomes. Elapsed time from injury to flap coverage can increase infection risk, but the optimal timing threshold remains debatable. We aimed to synthesize the literature and determine if time to flap is associated with reduced infection rates following traumatic lower extremity injuries.Methods: We searched 5 databases for articles published before March 2023. We included studies of 10 or more patients undergoing flap reconstruction for open lower extremity fractures. We extracted data on patient demographics, operative details, and postoperative complications and grouped individual data by time-to-flap: 72 hours or less versus more than 72 hours and 7 days or less versus more than 7 days. We performed meta-analyses at a significance level of α equal to 0.05.Results: Sixteen studies of 973 patients (986 extremities) were included.

Only recently, neural processes of artistic valuation and judgments have been investigated regarding the aesthetics of the human body. The current narrative review intended to summarize the recent advances made in this field.Methods: A literature review of PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, PsycInfo, and Web of Science databases was conducted. Cerebral areas involved in aesthetic experience and judgment are reviewed, and the biological neural basis of judgment processes are analyzed in the multidimensional preference space with specific attention to visual perception and beauty appraisal of the human body.Results: Twenty-nine experimental studies specifically related to the neurobiological basis of aesthetic appraisal and judgments regarding the human face and body were identified.Conclusions: Aesthetic judgment emerges from the interaction among emotion-valuation, sensory-motor, and meaning-knowledge processes. There is objective evidence that human body beauty perception is shaped by natural selection and activates brain regions distinct from those activated by visual arts. It may still be early to grasp all the implications of neuroaesthetics, and much research is still needed. However, progress in the field holds promise for generating a more holistic understanding that will most probably have an impact on aesthetic interventions, which must aim to reproduce the characteristics of ideal mates. It also holds promise for possibly quantifying the outcomes of aesthetic interventions objectively.","PeriodicalId":20149,"journal":{"name":"Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Global Open","volume":"13 6","pages":"e6833"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12144655/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144249208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
