We reported the case of a 56-year-old man with a submandibular abscess caused by sialolithiasis of the left submandibular gland. A 56-year-old male patient came with complaints of swelling and pain in the left submandibular area for one week. Patients also reported fever, dysphagia, and increased pain while eating. Physical examination showed diffuse swelling and redness in the left submandibular area. Head MSCT and panoramic radiography revealed the presence of stones in the duct of the left submandibular gland. The patient underwent surgical treatment for stone removal and abscess drainage. Postoperative follow-up showed significant improvement in the patient's condition without complications. If left untreated, sialolithiasis is a primary cause of blockage of the submandibular gland's duct, which can result in infections and abscesses. Prompt and appropriate treatment, including abscess drainage and stone removal, is essential to reduce morbidity. Early diagnosis through anamnesis, physical examination, and imaging are the keys to good outcomes. A submandibular abscess caused by sialolithiasis of the submandibular gland requires quick and appropriate treatment. Surgical treatment with abscess drainage and stone removal provides satisfactory results without complications.","PeriodicalId":42421,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery","volume":"12 1","pages":"2483706"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11966978/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143781246","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}

Anterolateral thigh flaps (ALT) are widely used in complex abdominal wall repair, whether pedicled or free, innervated, or denervated. Previous reports primarily focus on reconstruction of the outer layers of the abdominal wall (muscle, fascia, and skin); however, this case highlights the potential of ALT flaps to address complications at the mucosa-skin interface, particularly stomal issues. This case report aims to demonstrate the versatility of the ALT flap at the mucosa-skin contact area, specifically to salvage a stenotic stoma following a Kock pouch (K-pouch) ileostomy. The patient developed multiple complications, including stomal retraction, stenosis, and leakage, which required innovative reconstructive techniques. Here, transposition of a fenestrated ultrathin pedicled ALT flap was used to reconstruct the abdominal wall while accommodating a retracted stoma in the middle of the skin paddle, restoring functional defecation. Initial postoperative complications, such as stomal leak and partial flap dehiscence, were managed with secondary flap adjustments, resulting in long-term successful outcomes. At the two year of follow-up, the stoma remained functional, with no recurrence of stenosis or skin irritation, and the donor site healed without morbidity [1].","PeriodicalId":42421,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery","volume":"12 1","pages":"2479007"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11912236/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143651088","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}

TB primarily affects the lungs. A small percentage of cases are associated with extrapulmonary TB (EPTB). Of all EPTB, skeletal TB accounts for 1-5% of the cases, with the vertebrae being the most commonly affected. Involvement of the hands usually occurs in children under the age of six, with the bones of the proximal phalanx of the middle and index fingers being the most reported sites of infection. We describe a case of disseminated TB presenting as swelling in the index finger. Due to its nonspecific symptoms and insidious course, this condition is frequently overlooked. The presented case is unique compared to other documented TB cases as the child did not undergone Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination, a factor that might have contributed to the disease progression. Additionally, traditional cauterization was noted in the patient's history, a practice that could complicate the diagnosis. Physicians should consider TB osteomyelitis when encountering young patients with finger swelling, particularly in endemic areas. Prompt recognition and diagnosis of TB osteomyelitis are crucial for early intervention and better outcomes.","PeriodicalId":42421,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery","volume":"12 1","pages":"2473383"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11899214/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143617479","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}

In addition, our personal experience from the last four years is showcased and compared with the literature using PubMed and Cochrane Library databases with Reverse AND Abdominoplasty as search strings.Results: All the 12 patients operated in our facilities between 2020 and 2024 had either a pre-existing submammary scar or a plan to undergo a contestual mammoplasty; at a mean of 25,1 weeks follow up, one major complication occurred.Discussion: There is a lack of publications on reverse abdominoplasty. Small case series are available in the literature, most of which focus on aesthetic indications. Only a few cases address the reconstructive implications of this surgical technique. In our experience, the concomitant desire or necessity of a mammoplasty and an already present inframammary scar favor the surgery. Careful recreation of a new inframammary sulcus must be considered to avoid unpleasant complications.Conclusions: Despite the poor literature supporting this technique, reverse abdominoplasty is a must-known procedure for successfully addressing thorny abdominal wall conditions and is characterized by consistent, replicable and safe outcomes.","PeriodicalId":42421,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery","volume":"12 1","pages":"2475902"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11892065/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143598000","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}

Several reconstructive options are available, but in the case of a revision surgery with an associated infection, most of them seems contraindicated.

We will report a complex case of chronical patellar tendon rupture (after failed allograft reconstruction) in the context of an infection with soft tissue defect. This 65-year-old patient was successfully treated with the reconstruction of the patellar tendon and a soft tissue coverage using a medial gastrocnemius flap. We followed her up for three years and the clinical outcome was recorded including several clinical scores and isokinetic strength measurements, showing an excellent result, with full patient satisfaction and without any limitation in daily activities. In addition, we will review the literature about patellar tendon reconstruction using a medial gastrocnemius flap, presenting the indications and advantages of this technique, sharing our personal experience and some technical aspects of the technique.
