Reconstructive modalities are often determined by the size of the defect and the quality of local tissue and vasculature. Local and regional flaps may not provide enough tissue to achieve successful closure in patients with large perforations and those with baseline compromise of the nasal mucosa and blood supply from prior intervention or underlying medical condition. Microvascular free tissue transfer is a possible approach to reconstruction in these patients. We report a case of a 30-year-old man who presented with a large, symptomatic, 4 × 3.5 cm perforation as a result of prior functional septoplasty at an outside hospital. Reconstruction of the defect was accomplished in this setting with a free temporoparietal fascia (TPF) flap anastomosed to the columellar branch of the labial artery and the angular vein. Postoperative follow-up visits showed successful closure of the perforation without complications. As illustrated by this case, TPF flap is a versatile tool for complex nasal reconstructions. With minimal donor-site morbidity and rich vascularity capable of promoting remucosalization without the need for prelamination, the TPF flap may be suited for the repair of large nasoseptal perforations.","PeriodicalId":34024,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery Open","volume":"04 1","pages":"e42 - e46"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1055/s-0039-1692145","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47988011","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}

Methods Sixty male Wistar rats were used. The rats were randomly divided into four experimental groups (n = 15): transected control group (negative control group [NCG]), sham-operated group (positive control group [SO]) artery graft group filled with saline (AG/NS), and CACIPLIQ20-treated group (AG/CACIPLIQ20). Fifteen rats were used as artery graft donors. In the SO group, the sciatic nerve was dissected from the surrounding tissues and left intact. In the NCG, AG/NS and AG/CACIPLIQ20) groups, a 10-mm gap was created in the left sciatic nerve. In the NCG group, the gap was not bridged with a graft. In the AG/NS group, the gap was bridged with a graft filled with saline. In the AG/CACIPLIQ20 group, the graft was filled with CACIPLIQ20.

At 16 weeks postoperatively, the rats were sacrificed, nerve sections were harvested for histopathology analysis, and the weight ratio of the gastrocnemius muscle was measured. Results There was no significant difference in myelin sheath thickness between the AG/NS and AG/CACIPLIQ20 groups. Muscle weight in the AG/CACIPLIQ20 group was higher but not statistically significant (p = 0.168) compared with the AG/NS group.

The majority of cases are due to prolonged or complicated endotracheal intubation, tracheostomy, or esophageal malignancy, or subsequent to radiation or chemotherapy for treatment of the latter. Other etiologies include esophageal stenting and complications secondary to endoscopic procedures. The pathophysiology involves chronic inflammation of the esophagus or posterior wall of the trachea, ultimately promoting fistulization between these two structures. Risk factors primarily depend on the etiology; however, excessive balloon pressures and prolonged intubation are among the strongest predictors of acquired tracheoesophageal fistula. In two reported cases, intubation with persistent air leaks resulted in fistulization. Patients present with refractory pneumonia, aspiration, hypoxemia, acute respiratory distress, enteral feed in endotracheal aspirate, or gastric distention following extubation. It can be difficult to distinguish normal functional deterioration from deterioration secondary to intubation. Up to 51% of patients intubated for at least 48 hours may experience dysphagia following extubation. Ultimately, the diagnostic algorithm includes an esophagogram, followed by imaging with computed tomography (CT) scan, and, more recently, CT scan with three-dimensional reconstructions, a bronchoscopy, and an esophagoscopy. Spontaneous closure rarely occurs, and the primary treatment modalities include interventional therapy with stenting via bronchoscopy, esophagoscopy, or surgical correction. Surgical intervention is associated with higher risks due to surrounding vital anatomy and, often, technical challenges requiring multispecialty care. Our case study presents a novel and effective method of repairing a benign acquired tracheoesophageal fistula utilizing the transverse cervical artery flap.","PeriodicalId":34024,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery Open","volume":"04 1","pages":"e9 - e13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1055/s-0039-1678576","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43908913","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}

Quality of functional outcome following limb salvage surgery is still controversial. This is a retrospective review of the functional outcome of ankle arthrodesis using vascularized fibular flap. Methods A total of seven patients were reviewed. The diagnosis was osteosarcoma in five and Ewing's sarcoma in two patients. The primary tumor site was the distal tibia in six patients and the distal fibula in one patient. The average age at presentation was 10.6 years (range, 6.7–14 years). The average follow-up period was 24.5 months (range, 13–69 years). A pedicled fibular graft was harvested from the ipsilateral leg in two patients and a free vascularized osteocutaneous fibular flap from the contralateral leg in five patients. External fixation was used in five and internal fixation in two patients. Patients were allowed full weight bearing following radiographic evidence of complete bone union. Results The mean time to complete bone union and full weight bearing was 7.1 months (range, 4–13 months). One patient developed nonunion at graft-host junction and one patient had stress fracture of the fibular graft. The mean limb length inequality was 0.57 cm (range, 0–3 cm). The average Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score was 84.5% (range, 73–100%). Conclusion Skeletally immature patients treated by ankle arthrodesis using vascularized fibular flap can return to full weight bearing within the first year following surgery. A contralateral fibular flap has the advantage of preserving the contour of the ankle and reserving the ipsilateral fibula for initial stability at the fusion site.

Methods Autologous breast reconstructions over 5 years were reviewed. Mastectomy type and resultant skin paddle were categorized into four mastectomy type/skin paddle design groups based on the amount of native “Skin Spared” after mastectomy and the resultant flap skin paddle designed. Groups were designated as skin-sparing mastectomy 1 (SS1)/large elliptical skin paddle, skin-sparing mastectomy 2 (SS2)/small elliptical skin paddle, skin-sparing mastectomy 3 (SS3)/areola skin paddle, and skin-sparing mastectomy 4 (nipple-sparing mastectomy, SS4)/no skin paddle. Surveys were performed to validate the classification system and critique aesthetic outcomes. Results A total of 89 autologous breast reconstructions were included. Radiotherapy was used in 45.6% of SS1 patients versus 29.2% in SS2 and 12.5% in SS3/SS4. Mean body mass index (BMI) was 30 in SS1/SS2 and 26 in SS3/SS4 mastectomy types (p = 0.045). Delayed reconstruction was performed in 96.5% SS1 versus 62.5% in SS2 and only 25% of SS3/SS4 (p < 0.0001). Physicians and Non-MD personnel correctly categorized 85.8 and 76.1% of skin paddle designs, respectively. Over 75% of those surveyed rated the reconstruction aesthetic outcome as “good-excellent” regardless of the pattern group. Conclusions Patients in SS1/SS2 groups had a higher incidence of radiotherapy, delayed reconstruction, and higher BMI compared with the SS3/SS4 groups. The classification system is recognizable and may provide improved patient education and communication between healthcare providers. All mastectomy type/skin paddle designs received high aesthetic ratings.","PeriodicalId":34024,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery Open","volume":"04 1","pages":"e29 - e35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1055/s-0039-1688725","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48543400","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}

Methods Here, we describe the use of interpositional vein grafts to extend island pedicle flaps for the reconstruction of an ischemic above-knee amputation stump in one case and to seal an intractable fistula on the buttock after radiation therapy in another case. In the patient with the ischemic stump, a deep inferior epigastric perforator flap was extended by 6 cm using the great saphenous vein harvested from the contralateral side, allowing successful coverage of the stump. In the patient with an intractable fistula on the buttock, a thoracodorsal artery and vein graft that was extended by 25 cm using the cephalic vein harvested from the right forearm to upper arm allowed successful sealing of the fistula.

Although spontaneous thrombosis of the peroneal vein of a fibula flap is theoretically possible, few cases of asymptomatic DVT of the peroneal vein encountered during fibula flap harvest have been reported. Case Report A 45-year-old man presented with segmental bone defects of the tibia resulting from a fall. Treatment with a free vascularized osteocutaneous fibula flap from the contralateral lower leg was scheduled. Intraoperatively, diffuse thrombi were found in the peroneal venous system. After removal of thrombi, the fibula was grafted with anastomosis of the peroneal vessels to the recipient posterior tibial vessels. The skin paddle of the flap became congested after surgery; exsanguination of the skin paddle was performed with multiple skin incisions to relieve congestion. Despite treatment, the skin paddle became partially necrotic and additional skin grafting was performed. Bone union of the grafted fibula was achieved 5 months after initial surgery. Conclusions To the best of our knowledge, only six cases of pre-existing DVT in the peroneal vein of a free osteocutaneous fibula flap have been reported. In three of these cases, the fibula flap was successfully grafted. Although successful free osteocutaneous fibula flap surgery might be possible in patients with peroneal venous thrombosis, careful preoperative evaluation is recommended for high-risk patients.","PeriodicalId":34024,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery Open","volume":"3 1","pages":"e74 - e77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1055/s-0038-1675410","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47070856","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}
