Engineered Vascularized Muscle Flap

8.6K
To date, thick tissue defects are typically reconstructed by applying autologous tissue flaps or engineered tissues. In this protocol, we present a new method for engineering vascularized tissue flap bearing an autologous pedicle, to serve as a substitute to autologous flaps.

Enhanced Cochlear Coverage and Hearing Preservation in High-Frequency Hearing Loss via Electric Acoustic Stimulation with Longer Electrode

1.2K
Electric acoustic stimulation (EAS) with longer electrodes can offer broader cochlear coverage and various types of maps in cases of high-frequency hearing loss. Combining less invasive surgery, flexible lateral-wall electrodes, and steroid administration permits deeper insertion with little or no surgical trauma, resulting in good preservation of...

Coronoid-Temporalis Pedicled Flap for Orbital Floor Defect Reconstruction

607
This protocol presents a novel coronoid-temporalis pedicled flap (CTPF) technique for reconstructing small-to-medium orbital floor defects. CTPF avoids microvascular risks while maintaining biomechanical stability. Clinical cases demonstrate effective structural restoration, reduced complications, and preserved facial symmetry, offering a viable alternative to traditional grafts or alloplastic materials.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Wound Healing
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Lower extremity injuries needing soft tissue coverage are common globally.
  • Reconstruction is vital for bone union, infection control, function, and amputation prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore soft tissue flap coverage options for lower limb injuries.
  • To emphasize the importance of debridement and early coverage for outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic wound exploration and excision by Orthopaedic and Plastic Surgery specialists.
  • Injury grading and reconstruction planning post-necrotic tissue removal.
  • Evaluation of various soft tissue flap techniques for different lower limb zones.

Main Results:

  • Thorough debridement is essential before planning reconstruction.
  • Early flap coverage significantly contributes to infection-free bony union.
  • Tailored flap selection based on injury zone is key.

Conclusions:

  • Integrated Orthopaedic and Plastic Surgery management is critical.
  • Timely and comprehensive debridement followed by appropriate flap coverage optimizes outcomes for lower extremity trauma.
  • This strategy improves functional recovery and reduces amputation rates.
